"Fast and Furious" actor and R&B
singer Tyrese Gibson set off a fiery debate on his Facebook page Tuesday,
when he questioned whether people abuse their relationship with God when they
pray to not get caught doing wrong.
"I think it's real interesting that I find a
lot of people take their access for granted. Have you ever done something
really stupid and find yourself praying that you didn't get caught?" asked
Gibson in a video he shared with his more than 10 million fans Tuesday morning.
The entertainer who has increasingly been tackling more existential and
spiritual issues on his social media platforms since the death of friend actor
Paul Walker last November implied in the video that he feels it is abusive to
have that relationship with God but invited his fans to weigh in on the issue
as well."How do you do wrong and then pray that you don't get caught? ...
Cheating, lying, stealing, a bunch of other malicious horrible crimes that
folks [are] doing on the regular that I won't even mention, how do you pray
that you won't get caught?" he noted.
"You know how many people are praying, you
know, how many people did wrong like murder somebody, did something wrong and
they haven't been caught yet and [they're] praying every night that they don't
get caught? For all of you God-fearing spiritual folks, I'm just really asking
that question," he said. "Is that abusing your relationship with God
if you're doing wrong and then praying that you don't get caught?"
What do you think? Is it right to pray to God not to be caught for a bad thing that you have done? Will God answer your prayers? Will that kind of prayer not amount to abusing your relationship with God?
We will like to hear your comments on this.
