Beyonce talks to the media about her beliefs

POP SUPERSTAR Beyonce spoke in The Son Christian newspaper recently about her faith. Identified as "a devout Methodist," part of the article by Charlotte Webster read, "The former Destiny's Child singer said, 'I never mixed Christianity with how I felt (about him). I am about faith and spirituality more so than religion. Doing right by others and not judging. The thing that keeps me grounded is knowing that I'm always protected and that God is in control of things. Even the name of our group, Destiny's Child, we got out of the Bible. . . For me it is about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what he does for me is something deeply personal. It's where I came from. I was brought up in a religious household and that's very important to me.'"

The article continued, "While her sexy dance routines have been criticised by some, Beyonce is confident God isn't offended by her 'shaking her booty'. After meeting Prince Charles in a charity concert in London she denied any contradiction between her raunchy approach and personal faith. She said, 'I honestly believe he wants people to celebrate their bodies so long as you don't compromise your Christianity in the process.'" CR

Well I love what Nyota anyway it is really one thing to be a christian you need to be in a relaishionship wth God nd relate wth him if Beyonce says she's a christain than who are we to tlk against it but for her to prove that she really is a christian she needs to sing about God if He really means a lot in her life. Thank you.

Beyonce has spoken her mind about her faith. If you are a christian you must respect and not judge that. What she does for her living is between her and God.
Songs of life, living, emotion and experience are about what God has given.
If we judge what we think is a reflection of her faith in her behavior, remember we shall also be judged by every thought, word and deed. Who is perfect...shall you cast stones then?
What has been written has also been modified many times and translated many ways. The worst editor of the scriptures was the Catholic Church. For them it was not about faith, but power and control. So we must depend on our individual relationships with God to go forward for ourselves. God bless Beyonce to do His will.

She's confusing know "of" YaHUsha with knowing him. If you know him, you would know the Him will call you out from the world " Therefore come out from among them and be ye separate says the Lord." 2cor, 6:17. you can't serve to masters God and Money. for you will love one and hate the other.

Oh I hope is the truth because been Christian is not enough is to having a relationship with Jesus, and is not even about they we carry ourselves no, the bible says it is not by our righteousness but by Grace of God that we are children of God. And If she is a Christian why is she not singing for God??

Beyonce have to use their talents to the Lord because that talent that she have is came from God so don't be proud your self.... Instead she will praise the Lord our God Jesus Christ....
