Fresh off the major headline grabbing Grammy event, count on Bizzle to contend for the faith in his response record…
What I love about this record is the LOVE and honesty. There is not one hateful line and he even quotes scripture to back it up while maintaining an impeccable flow.
As Jay said, “it’s not a diss song.it’s a real song”
Get churched!

…and don’t compare it to the Black struggle because God never called blackness a sin. That is a tired argument. Being black or being any kind of ethnicity is not a sin.
I’m going to make people mad. I’m sure of it. But God’s work means more to me. I want to temper this with compassion and love as well.
Who are these people that all of a sudden have so much power that we now can no longer express Biblical truth? We walk on eggshells when the media asks a question that contains controversial ramifications. Side note: the media knows what their doing.
To say the words “I believe marriage is between a man and woman” is now making people out to be villains and that isn’t fair when we are quoting what God has spoken. As Paul stated in Galatians,
Galatians 4:16 KJV
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
If so, that isn’t fair. If I told you that you are not on the right freeway and are lost, based on the map would you now be angry with me? If the recipe for blueberry pie did not contain strawberries and I told you, do you now ban me for being offensive?
Society has a tendency to decide the moral code for the moment...kinda like how Vogue magazine decides what the fashion is for the moment. And if you go against that socially accepted standard, you are singled out and villainized. Keep in mind that God’s law is NOT the law for the moment. It doesn’t change…even if society’s rules choose to. So when I speak His unchanging Word, why am I now the bad guy?
Furthermore when the Bible describes most things as sin, people tend to agree with the obvious: killing, stealing, the big bad ones. But God had a bigger list that included homosexuality. Now we question Him?
Is it not a sin? Not the urge or the desire, but actual lifestyle. Fine if you don’t believe the Bible or much less that there is a God, okay I get it. So you have no godly moral code. But if you believe that the Bible is God’s Word, why do you now choose to ignore parts of the law? Either you believe in God and obey or you don’t and do what you want. Right?
James 2:10 KJV
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
So back to my question, who are these people that are getting offended at the slightest statement that denounces what God calls a sinful lifestyle? Insults are not okay. I agree. Slurs are not okay. Saying God said it’s wrong IS okay. Grant it, we must speak with love but let’s be honest, the truth hurts no matter how you say it.
So this leads people to question truth as a last resort. So are these people atheists? Are they seeking acceptance? Fine, as a lifestyle choice, I accept it. Like any other choice, I accept it. But I will not accept it as morally upright nor will I accept it as a marriage when God teaches it is between a man and woman. No!
But as you are muttering insults about me and unfriending me in Facebook, ask yourself this question. Do I believe in God? Do I believe His Word is the Bible? What does He consider sin? What does He require of me? Am I doing it?
The urge to sleep with another man is no different than the urge to sleep with a married woman or multiple women. No different from the urge to steal, lie or cheat. We all battle urges. But do not now switch and call it OKAY because you can’t beat the urge.
So there I said it. I’ll leave you alone to be gay. So you leave me alone when I say God said it’s wrong. Don’t make me accept it as right. I won’t. I can’t. If you ask a true Christian what they think, don’t get mad when you get a Christian answer.

Well, obviously we have the Word of God doing what it’s been said to do!
All kidding aside, Antoine Dodson of ” Bed Intruder Song” fame (I still watch that one to this day!!!) recently drew public attention in a very different way. The previously unashamedly homosexual Antoine stated on Facebook that he no longer wants to be homosexual after reading that it was wrong in the Bible. This has been reported everywhere. Google it! But simply by viewing the headlines alone, it has not been received well at all!
There are people thinking he’s just trying for fifteen more minutes of fame. Some express concern for how many people he’s going to anger. An interviewer even attacked him sarcastically saying, “so you’re just going to pray the gay away!??” In response, Antoine just stood his ground and explained why he did what he did. The Bible. He is reading his Bible.
Now let’s be real. He still has much to learn based on his comments which are somewhat scattered. But the common denominator is the Word of God. He will lose friends, followers, popularity. If he truly desires men he will have to fight temptation daily.
When looking at this story, a few scriptures come to mind.
I Peter 4:3-4 NKJV
For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.
II Timothy 3:16 NKJV
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
The Word of God is all powerful and can change any who honestly looks into it’s contents and realizes their life does not meet His standard. And when you do change, the world may persecute you. Expect that. But press on.
To Antoine I say, dude, you are on the right track. Keep reading that Word. Study it faithfully. Finish what you have started. God will see that you are seeking.
To the media I say, position this as big news in a good way. Everybody makes a big deal and says someone was brave when they “come out”. It’s so widely accepted. Is it really that brave anymore?
Not everybody will agree with this blog and that’s fine. Just some thoughts from your friendly Christian Music Pusher.
