According
to an article in CBN News,[1] Lady
Gaga recently interrupted one of her concerts to launch a strong public attack
against Vice President Pence as being the worst example of Christianity (as if
Gaga is a better example)! Lady Gaga reportedly said, “I am a Christian woman
and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and
everybody is welcome.”
Anyone
who has ever heard Lady Gaga’s music knows—well, let’s just say she didn’t get
those lyrics from the Bible! Gaga is promoting an alternative form of
“Christianity.” Forget the idea of an all-powerful and all-knowing God. The
“Christianity” of Lady Gaga and other modern leftists is about an
all-welcoming, all-tolerant deity characterized by absolute niceness. This god
would never judge anyone, anywhere, anytime about anything. This is a very
popular god who allows people to unrepentantly wallow in virtually any kind of
sin without shame, regret, or confession.
What
Gaga is promoting is really nothing new. Two thousand years ago the book of
Jude issued a blistering attack against such a view of “Christianity.” And back
in the 1930’s H.Richard Niebuhr wrote that theological liberals of his time
proclaimed how “a God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom
without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.”[2]
So
while Gaga’s “Christianity” is nothing new, it is certainly not biblical, and
her god is a figment of her own imagination. But it is a god in whom an
increasing number of people seem to believe.
