(CBN News) In an interview published this week, entertainment mogul Kanye West opened up about his faith and why it’s important for Christians to speak out.
The 42-year-old rapper, who said he’s “definitely born again,” explained to GQ Magazine’s Will Welch the difference between weighing in on an issue and being judgmental.
Everyone has sin, West told Welch, noting part of becoming a Christian is accepting the fact other believers will hold you accountable for your actions — something he said many critics don’t seem to understand.
“They think that all of a sudden you believe in Christ, so we’re not even supposed to speak up,” West said. “And if we speak up, people will say, ‘Oh, you’re being judgmental.’ And it’s like, ‘Oh, now, because I’m Christian, I don’t even have an opinion anymore?’ I’m Christian and I still have an opinion. But my opinion is based on the Word.”
