The famous Russian Orthodox thinker and theologian, Alexei Khomyakhov, stated this regarding Protestantism: “Protestantism means the expression of doubt in essential dogma. In other words, the denial of dogma as a living tradition; in short, a denial of the Church…Protestantism is one world simply negating another. Take away this other world which it is negating and Protestantism will die, since its whole life consists in negation. The body of doctrines it still holds, the work undertaken by the enterprise of a few scholars and later received by the apathetic credulity of several million uneducated people, is surviving only because the need is felt to oppose the Roman confession. As soon as this feeling disappears, Protestantism at once breaks down into private opinion with no common bonds whatever….Clearly Protestantism, as a Church, does not have the power to check itself, and having rejected legitimate tradition, it has deprived itself of every right to condemn a man who, while acknowledging the divinity of the Holy Scriptures, might not find in them the refutation of the error of Arius or Nestorius — since such a man would be wrong in the eyes of learning, but not in the eyes of faith….” (On the Western Confessions of Faith, 1864. See this website for full text: ).
Bearing this in mind, we see how indeed Protestantism has continually led to anarchy and denial of the Faith of Christ, and even of Christ Himself. Starting with the likes of heretics such as John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli, we have not only seen a major schism in the whole of Church History but also many continual splits, with over 50,000 schismatic sects and churches throughout the world, some more heretical than the others. Sadly because of this, the Western world as a logical outcome of rejecting not only Christ but rejecting His Church and His Apostolic Teaching as was taught to the Apostles and the Fathers of the Church, has gone into continual moral and spiritual decline. This is evidenced by not only the constant push for secularisation in governments and all aspects of society, but also advocating abominations and not duly punishing the evil doers as befitting for the crimes committed. How often now do we have sodomy/homosexuality and bestiality being promoted as well as defended as a false virtue like never before? How often do we see marriage trampled upon and birth control as well as “no-fault” divorce being promoted? How often do we see the Holy Scriptures and Christ our God subject to ridicule and unmitigated criticism in the education system and the media but other false religions, particularly Islam, being defended? The answer is evident to all. All of which can indeed be traced to the Protestant Reformation of rejecting the Church and also advocating “Bible only” (read private interpretation of Scripture only) as well as advocating the distorted version of grace of: “Be a sinner and sin boldly”, courtesy of Luther.
In light of the above, we can see why there are a number of celebrities who have been instrumental in advocating a godless agenda in their movies and songs. We do not have time to discuss all of them but we wish to bring out 5 in particular who have nonetheless been esteemed by the world but are an abomination to God. Our Lord Jesus Christ had this to say regarding these godless people: “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26) and “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” (Luke 16:15). The greatest tragedy of all, is that many in the Church are seeking to be like these godless people and seeking such popularity over righteousness and holiness. It is to such that the Apostle St. James rebukes: “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James 4:4). Most of these celebrities are possessed with this worldly, fleshly and devilish spirit that seeks the approval of men rather than the approval of God. It is due to this, coupled with the Protestantizing of the West, that created the state of anarchy that is evident by all. This Protestant spirit of rebellion which has its roots in none other than the first rebel, Lucifer, is the very cause of such anarchy. As evidence of this discussion, we will centre on 5 celebrities in particular:
–Prince
–Miley Cyrus
–Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam)
–Michael Jackson
–Sinead O’Connor
All 5 of these along with others had one thing in common: foundations in heresy and then falling into deception of false religion, amorality and rejection of the God of Holy Scripture, and for that matter, a rejection of the Holy Trinity.
THIS IS NOT POPULAR NOR POLITICALLY CORRECT SO IF YOU HATE TRUTH AND LOVE MEN MORE THAN GOD, PLEASE LEAVE NOW!
There are more wholesome music worth listening to that do not involve such promotion of godlessness and deviancy. It is now a matter of Christians to look out for it and do as the Scriptures states regarding all things:
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.” [I Thessalonians 5:21, 22]
