Will Smith On Scientology
December 6, 2008
Will Smith just can’t get away from being linked to Scientology. Here he sets the record straight with his response when asked by Newsweek to clarify if he is a Scientologist:
“No, but when people are afraid of religion they have to go back and get in touch with the Good Book. Fear of other religions means you’re questioning your own understanding, and that’s just not where I am.”
“I love the nature of humanity’s search for meaning. For me I’m certain about my relationship with the model of perfection of human life that’s laid out with the life of Jesus Christ. I’m certain of that. I’m at home and not fearful when I sit in a mosque or a synagogue or a Buddhist temple, the same way that I’m home in the Church of Scientology. I like anywhere people are searching for the truth, and I respect their path and I’m intrigued by their path.”
“I think when you are certain in and of what you believe in, you can open your mind to seeing the ways of others.”

Christ told him to stay away from Bethals.
6 A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 7 Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. 9 And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. 10 Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. 12 But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. 13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD. 14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. Malachi

I don’t hate any religion but I am very weary of religions that center around the issues of scientology without actually professing it.

If I were a Christian (believer in Jesus Christ), and someone was accusing me of belonging to a cult (i.e. Scientology et al), I would be HIGHLY offended and indignant and go out of my way to set the record straight. It has NOTHING to do with fear of “other religions.” It has to do with offending the Lord who I profess as my Savior. It’s along the lines of insulting my mother, but worse, because the Lord means everything to me. Will Smith seems like he doesn’t want to “offend” anyone, and in that frame of mind, he is offending everyone who professes Jesus as Lord. Either you are for Him and you aren’t. There is no pleasing everybody; middle of the road. Where do you stand, Will?
