      cognitive dissonance bro. race, God, politics, always bring out the worst in humans because no one wants an alternative reality to threaten the comfortability of the beliefs that form their existence.
      God could literally come down to planet earth right this minute as an Ethiopian communist, do a bunch of incomprehensible miracles, and people would resist it cos their cognitive dissonance makes them extremely hostile to some ish that they simply can't fathom. It's a real shame.

    He's a really good brother. I've been listening to him since he first came out and he's about the Word of God. I pray for his growth in Christ and his safety. He's in a territory with a lot of haters, so I pray for the 116/Reach Records crew. Keep Christ at the forefront.

      Prince Piankhi of 25th Dynasty Nubia the Bible has been tampered by white people catholic church several times. Jesus never existed, his real name is yeshua.. Soon as Europeans got the real image of yeshua , they started painting him more white in Renaissance era.

      Platinum Hustle Yes I like the song. Been rocking with Crae since After the Music Stops in 06. Back then I got familiar with his previous projects Real Talk, 13 Letters, The Compilation etc. I appreciate the pivot that he's made it the game over the last few years. That's why Sho left the label years before Crae did the 1 Church Clothes mixtape. Crae actually has a relationship in some way with he secular artist that he's made music with. Their fans get exposed to Crae and his camp and possible other Christian artist. Just because Crae does a song with dude doesn't mean he's doing life with him. Yes I don't support Dolla $ign's message or the music he puts out but you don't know the effect that Crae had on him or his fans. You tell me to grow up you seem to overlook what Paul said: I become all things to all so that some may be saved. Get busy sowing seeds and tilling the ground. The Lord will reap the harvest.

    • @YudahBoi
      @YudahBoi 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Platinum Hustle Yeah okay. You sound like a hater. If you're so concerned about the moves he's making why don't you pray for him instead of making baseless judgments. I been listening and following Crae for 11yrs bruh. I'm not a bandwagon fan. His foundation has been the same.

    If he's wrong about Jesus (and I don't think he is) he has still lived a great life, and helped a lot of people. If the folks that hate Jesus and Christians are wrong, well.. use your imagination... seek the truth with a pure heart, and follow the evidence where it leads.. and I say this completely in love.

    • @realone2445
      @realone2445 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      gus dee as an individual person he's impacted the earth and its history more than any other individual person. So that's why people consider him the direct son of God. Because he was larger than life. That's not too hard to understand .

    • @SATCHELL3000
      @SATCHELL3000 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      LOL -- I agree, somewhat: all things considered, Religion & Spirituality, aren't as black-and-white, as many of us perceive, or for that matter, portray it to be -- the Bible in itself, is far more complex, than most People realize, let alone, understand. All in all, the facts of the matter, aren't always as complex as what it seem, nor is everything always what it appears to be, & vice-versa.

    • @4everfreshkid
      @4everfreshkid 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +SATCHELL3000 I agree with you man. My main issue is the people who dismiss all of it and don’t even attempt to find meaning in life, and then proceed to scoff at those who are at least trying to follow a higher path.

      @buckeyelevi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Blake Jr. he could have saved them. But he’s waiting for all the people he wants to be his before he restores the earth and destroys sin. He doesn’t have to save us. He is a just God. We owe him everything and he owes us nothing. Some day everything will be redeemed but right now his purposes are getting glory. We don’t know why he saved you and not them, as Roman 8:28 says, and going with Lecrae, All Things Work Together.

    • @buckeyelevi
