GOOD NEWS: Justin Bieber says religion "set me free from bondage and shame"

http://www.nme.com/news/music/justin-bieber-heartfelt-easter-message-2278911

Justin Bieber shared a heartfelt message with fans on Easter Sunday, reminding them that the holiday “is not about a bunny”, while also describing how religion has made him feel “set free from bondage and shame”.

It was recently reported that Bieber’s next album could be about his faith, with Bieber taking to Instagram on Sunday (April 1) to share a message about how “Jesus has changed my life”.

“Easter is not about a bunny,” Bieber wrote, “it’s a reminder that my Jesus died on the cross for my sins and then rose from the dead defeating death! I believe this happened and it changes everything!”

He added: “I am set free from bondage and shame, I am a child of the most high God and he loves me exactly where I am, how I am, for who I am.”

Sometimes, he seems like a spoiled little rich boy. The Veruca Salt of pop music. Down the chute with him, I say!

that Jesus died on the cross for people's sins and was resurrected. There are folks who claim Christianity, who can't admit that for some reason. That's puzzling, since it is the central, core belief of Christianity.

Justin Bieber proclaims his faith in public. Paul said that was important to do if one expects a heavenly reward. I guess not everyone who professes Christianity believes what Paul said, either.

It's odd.
