Former Disney “Hanna Montana” star and singer Miley Cyrus made her feelings on the Christian faith even clearer with a Twitter posting in which she uploaded a picture and quote from physicist Lawrence Krauss that not only advocates evolution as the basis of creation but includes the phrase “forget Jesus.” Here is the tweet below:
Cyrus’ own father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus has stated that his daughter has been caught up in a series of rebellious, scandalous behavior that have been anything but Christian (which Cyrus claimed to be for most of her career). Despite claiming to be a Christian Cyrus has been an advocate for gay marriage, quotes other religions and repeatedly mocks those who criticize her raunchy behavior and dress. But this is obviously taking her disrespect of Christianity to another level.
Jesus Christ is the foundation and central figure of the Christian faith. It is belief in Him and the Bible that is at the core of being a Christian. One’s faith hinges on whether one believes the claims of Jesus were true and professing that belief. Jesus said: “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Notice that the physicist’s evolutionary explanation only targeted Jesus Christ. He does not mention Allah, Gaia, Krishna or any other god of any other religion. Just Jesus. And thus the true nature of his quote is exposed. Time and time again, the messages being put out in society always seem to come back to the Bible of Christianity and Jesus in particular. Why? Because Satan knows that Biblical Christianity is the greatest threat to his lies and deceptions. For Cyrus to not only agree with the quote from the physicist but post it for her over 5 million twitter fans to see is a denial of Jesus, blasphemous and an attack on the Word of God.
The Book of John states: “In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
The point of this passage is that Jesus, being God, is the Creator of all things, including stars. This is a basic premise of Biblical Christianity. And yet Cyrus is promoting evolution and encouraging her followers to “forget Jesus.” This is why once again fans and parents alike should not be won over and amazed by pop stars who claim to be Christian, being Christian is often just part of the image and marketing of certain entertainers that does not reflect in their lifestyles or worldview.
Cyrus’ Response
After receiving a great deal of backlash on Twitter, Cyrus responded: “How can people take the love out of science and bring hate into religion so easily?” Again, notice how Cyrus completely overlooks the scientist who wrote “forget Jesus” and actually attributes his quote as being loving. This is yet another sign of the trend in society to label Christians who believe the Bible as people of hate, regardless of what others say about the Christian faith.
Regardless of other incidents in Cyrus’ career, this post is a particularly sad moment. Even if Cyrus never believed in the Christian faith, there is no need to upset her fanbase with a quote that is clearly attacking Christianity. Her own father is on record saying that he believes Satan is at work in his family and that Miley’s success and her handlers have been destructive for their family. Christians should not react with anger at Cyrus for her statements, but rather pray for this young woman to see the err of her ways and repent. And hopefully more people will not fall for the seduction of the Christian role model pop star who talks a Christian game but acts devilish on stage. And instead of forgetting, it is time more people remember Jesus Christ, who gave His life and rose from the dead as the perfect sacrifice to pay for the sins of humanity. We are not stardust, we are God’s creation. And once we see past Satan’s deceptions we can look to Jesus and be brought back into The Lord’s family.
