Hillsong’s Marty Sampson has responded to Christian musician John Cooper after the Skillet frontman urged those who are publicly disavowing their faith to “value truth over feeling.”
Sampson has been embroiled in a media storm after announcing to the world that he had largely rejected his Christian beliefs.
“What right have you to put words in my mouth?” Sampson wrote to Cooper in yet another Instagram post. “I wouldn’t presume to put words in yours. To think that I am trying to influence others, without even asking me if that is my intention is offensive. ”
In his hard-hitting Facebook post, Cooper said that he was “stunned that the seemingly most important thing for these leaders who have lost their faith is to make such a bold new stance.”
“It is time for the church to rediscover the preeminence of the Word. And to value the teaching of the Word,” the Christian rocker implored. “We need to value truth over feeling. Truth over emotion. And what we are seeing now is the result of the church raising up influencers who did not supremely value truth who have led a generation who also do not believe in the supremacy of truth. And now those disavowed leaders are proudly still leading and influencing boldly AWAY from the truth.”
