Celestial recently posted a video about how some athletes, especially somebody like LeBron James, aren’t who you think they are. While it’s true not all basketball players are involved in Freemasonry and the occult, but a good number of those in the NBA are. If there’s at least one study about Cameroonian footballers being involved in the occult, despite not all footballers and even other Cameroonian footballers being this involved either, then this would be the same for their counterparts in basketball. It’s not necessarily wrong to like basketball, football, animation, cats, dogs and fashion for as long as you don’t make them into idols.
It’s not wrong to play basketball or football or any other sport, if these bring you joy and happiness then power to you. But when it comes to LeBron James calling himself ‘King James’ as in the other King James who at least cowrote the Bible, it seems as if he’s not only blaspheming God but is also so arrogant as to esteem himself higher than he should be. Admittedly, I’m prone to pride from time to time and this is hard for me to admit. It’s not necessarily wrong to like basketball, but the problem lies with turning basketball and basketballers into idols, which is the gist of her message.
(Interestingly, LeBron James starred in the box office flop Space Jam 2, the sequel to the original Space Jam film.)
I feel this should also serve as a warning to many Filipinos, because of how popular basketball is in the Philippines The Philippines is a Christian nation but it shouldn’t be serving idols, in fact it shouldn’t be idolising basketballers much either and in particular. If it’s bad enough that its favourite nation America has been indulging in so much idolatry as to warrant packing away from God, it’s really horrible that the Philippines would rather follow its disastrous missteps. So much so that the Philippines will suffer some of the same problems that America will be facing, because both of them disobeyed the Lord.
Not to mention it’s very, very tolerant of homosexuality, which is a sin to the Lord no matter how a lot of countries (and especially Christian majority countries) legalise it. It’s like this song by Sean Paul called ‘We Be Burning’ with the lyrics ‘legalise it, time to recognise it’, which is what many Christian-majority countries ended up doing with homosexuality. If it’s more natural for women to be attracted to men, it should be logical that they should find men attractive. But the world has distorted this, to the point of purposefully engineering more lesbians and bisexual women than it should be by the Lord.
I even said that if a woman is struggling with her same-sex attraction, then people should do a better job at making her defeat these impulses if she doesn’t want to act on it anymore. But this involves taking away the offending materials that might entice her into doing it again, something that she doesn’t want to do anymore. All this ‘women are sexy, so women find them sexy’ has created far more lesbians than even sports ever has, especially when it comes to sexual attraction then it’s unnatural for women to be attracted to other women, which is what she’s saying.
Then we move onto idolatry, another affront to the Lord. I even think DC and Marvel are very guilty of enabling this onto unsuspecting people in their formative years, that if you’re exposed to a lot of DC and Marvel stories in your childhood that there’s a chance they’ve groomed you to idolise the characters they have and the stories their writers tell. It may not be the case for other people but this is particularly so for a good number of DC and Marvel fans, where you have these people growing up with these characters and then writing pornographic stories about them in some way. I could’ve done something similar before, mind you.
It’s not hard to see why I believe geek fandoms are basically all forms of concentrated idolatry, especially with all the time that could’ve been spent on worshipping God is wasted on cartoon characters. It’s not necessarily wrong to want to catch up with something, since it’s like that with me when it comes to devotionals and Bible verses. But there’s something off about the way DC and Marvel engineer things as a way to deepen fans’ devotion to their characters and brands, that it comes off as spiritually unhealthy and unsound. The Backstreet Boys are very guilty of this, made worse by that Brian Littrell never bothered finding a way to share the Gospel or his faith with fans that isn’t music.
He never bothered finding a way to pique people’s interest in something Christian (adjacent), even if he’s called to evangelise to people and find a way to get them worshipping God instead. But he’d rather be of the world where it’s easier for him to indulge in his fans’ adulation of his band and himself, rather than dedicating himself to actually making them read something Christian related even if it takes baby steps. If it took baby steps for me to get back to God by reading up on those been to hell testimonies, articles and monasteries and animals and eventually devotionals, then Littrell could’ve easily done this to his fans in some way. It’s probably a good thing Hanson lost some of their fans, given they were brought up to be Christian.
Better to risk losing face in front of your fans when dedicating yourself to God, than it is to keep fans and lose face in front of God. So Zac Hanson ended up doing something far greater as a preacher than he would as a musician, given he was brought up in a Christian household that it’s better for him to dedicate his life to the church than make people worship him. So Hansongate is a blessing in disguise to get Zac Hanson back on track when it comes to worshipping the Creator, than being worshipped by fans a lot. If God could find a way to bring people back to him, he’ll find any means of making it happen when he sees fit.
It’s like that with me where I backslided a couple of times, before becoming really addicted to those been to hell testimonies on Seek First, articles about animals in Christianity and then reading a lot of devotionals later on. It’s not an easy path, but it’s worth getting back to God. Anyways this is my commentary on what Celestial has been saying in her vlogs, since she doesn’t seem to be blogging at this point. In lieu of posting further links to her blog posts, I’ll be posting links to and then commentating on her sermons and prophecies instead.
