Lil Nas X Music Video
« on: March 30, 2021, 06:52:02 pm »
The 21-year-old pop star became a household name with his hit 2019 song “Old Town Road,” which stirred debate on the subjects of race and what qualifies as country music. His latest music video is sparking controversy again, with some conservative Christian critics saying it went too far

Lil Nas X released his latest song, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” on March 26. Part of the music video portrays Lil Nas X, who is openly gay, being seduced in the Garden of Eden, sliding down a pole from heaven to hell and twerking on Satan’s lap. In just three days, the racy music video amassed over 38 million views on YouTube.

“Lil Nas X appeals to Lil Nas X fans, and there are a lot of them,” said Joe Levy, Billboard magazine’s editor at large. “These are people who like what he does, and what he does is as much about the internet and as much about the visuals as it is about the music.”

The music video sparked an explosion on social media as fans and critics reacted to the evangelical imagery, and some members of the Christian community were outraged.

Pastor Mark Burns, a minister at the Harvest Praise and Worship Center in Easley, South Carolina, said the video made him feel “disgusted at the highest level.”

“He has a constitutional right to do so, to say so, just as we Christians have a constitutional right to practice our faith,” Burns said. “Having said that, it is still disgusting to see a lot of us acting as though he is not having intercourse with Satan on television.”

Burns said he became concerned after watching the music video and seeing Lil Nas X advertising so-called “Satan shoes.”

I saw a short clip from it on the Tatum Report and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever witnessed apart from scenes from The Exorcist back in the day (which I wish I had never watched at all).  >:(  The video you are referring to just totally promotes Satanism, not to mention perversion of the worst kind. 

He stopped the video before it was done because he couldn't stand it either, but he sure commented on it and the ramifications it has on some people who watch it and are influenced by it.

Oh wow..I didn't know he stopped the video before it was done... It looked completed to me.

It was creepy and horrifying. I was surprised they went that far for a music video actually showing an image of the devil.

It's just a way to get attention and stay relevant.  I haven't seen it and have no interest in seeing it.  Not that it would offend me since I'm not Christian so I don't care.  Don't care about his music, buying it or listening to it.

My son who was in 6th grade also listened to Old Town Road and said many of his friends liked it as well.

To me, it just sounds like more good wholesome American values being portrayed. Let's put our focus on the racism of Dr. Seuss and evergreen trees and leave this artistic free speech alone.

Just another convincing scripture from the bible being fulfilled........

Rev 12:7-12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*+ and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon+ was hurled, the original serpent,+ the one called Devil+ and Satan,+ who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;+ he was hurled down to the earth,+ and his angels were hurled down with him. 10 I heard a loud voice in heaven say:

“Now have come to pass the salvation+ and the power and the Kingdom of our God+ and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!+ 11 And they conquered him+ because of the blood of the Lamb+ and because of the word of their witnessing,+ and they did not love their souls*+ even in the face of death. 12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,+ because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”+
