Justin Bieber's Pastor Judah Smith Reveals Biggest Misconception of the Bible & God's Love [VIDEOS]
Pastor Judah Smith explained his views concerning the biggest misconception as it pertains to the Bible and God's relationship with mankind when he promoted his brand new book 'Life Is ________' in an interview.
Pastor Smith is best known for mentoring many prominent stars and athletes including Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson to name a few at his popular 'The City Church', which is located in Seattle, Washington.
Smith recently spoke to the 'Church Boys' podcast hosts Billy Hallowell and Chris Field and explained that human beings generally view the Bible as a history book comprised of rules of what people can or cannot do.
"But, really, in essence, it's a love story that creator God has with humanity that moves from a garden, to a nation, to the world and it is filled with broken people, it's filled with pain, it's filled with beauty, it's filled with majesty, redemption, forgiveness, grace. It's the greatest story told without question.... For me, it's finding Jesus, the person of Jesus in the scripture and encountering a relationship. This book speaks to a living God ... I feel like I have experienced God in a real way," said Smith to the 'Church Boys'.
He also explained that whether someone is a Christian or not, no one can deny Jesus Christ's revolutionary impact on the world during his first coming which occurred thousands of years ago.
In addition, Pastor Smith also attempted to enlighten the listeners of the podcast show about the fact that the only Son of God was no mere mortal because of Jesus Christ's teachings and messages regarding the Heavenly Father's unconditional love for humanity.
"Something radical has happened. How are we still talking about Jesus Christ thousands of years later?... Tell the story of God's love. Go through the ancient scripture and let it speak for itself," he said. "It is unstoppable. This love revolution, this grace revolution, this Jesus message. I think is just unstoppable ... I think something special is unfolding even as we speak," said Smith.
Smith's latest book 'Life Is ________' is now available on various platforms including Amazon Kindle eBook and paperback books since March 3, 2015.
