Falz clarifies his false take on fornication after huge pushback from netizens
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Falz, the rapper born Folarin Falana, has clarified that his claim on X that fornication is not a sin is based on his personal “religion of love” after Christians and Muslims bombarded him on social media for spreading falsehood and encouraging sinful conduct.
He reacted in an interview on Arise Television, explaining that fornication is not a sin in his religion which is a “religion of love” and announced that he is no longer a Christian.
Falz told the broadcaster: “I think people would read the tweet and just assume that I meant according to Christianity.
“I wasn’t really speaking from that perspective. I practise the religion of love. Under that religion, I don’t think fornication is a sin.
“Because I looked at it, I strictly addressed the issue: Why are we not allowed to engage in this premarital intercourse? What is the issue? Who does it offend?
“These are not married people. These are two unmarried people. Willingly. Consensually. Personally, I don’t think there is a problem there.
“I’m no longer a Christian. I practice religion of love.”
What the Bible teaches about Heaven, fornication and adultery
Christians insist that whatever Falz or anyone believes that is outside the Bible will not take him or her to Heaven.
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12 KJV).
Many ways lead to hell but only one way leads to Heaven, which is the Way of Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John 1:1-2, 14).
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6 NKJV).
And the Bible clearly warns that unless the sin of fornication is repented, it leads to unquenchable hell fire.
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NKJV).
“The works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV).
In deed, the Bible makes it plain that both fornication (sex between two unmarried people) and adultery (sex outside of marriage with someone married or unmarried) lead to hell if not repented.
