While I never had any interest in that sort of music, I think it's important to note who it was that Jesus took his message to. He preached to the whores and tax collectors, not the elite society members. And he was condemned roundly for it too.
Paul said that God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. I don't think that principle has been revoked.
What an UNChristian thing to say. Boofhead.
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance" - (Lk. 15:4-7).
A confessed felon facing crucifixion was good enough for Jesus. He did nothing in life to deserve Paradise, except Believe during his last moments on earth. I'll give Alice Cooper the benefit of the doubt (though I probably won't ever buy his music).
I'm a little late to 'pile on' but I think you're wrong about the statement above.
Cooper has a past, he learned from it. He's an excellent example that a person doesn't have to be stuck in a way of life that's destructive and\or immoral. People will see this as it is possible.
He has a lot of bag to make statements about his faith in today's PC climate. I've met so many hypocrites who claim to be Christians, but were nothing more than a self-serving fool just looking down on others. Alice sounds like a person who knows where he's been, knows where he's at, and knows where he wants [needs] to be.
If I had to choose between being like Alice or being a fool, I'd rather be a genuine Cooper Christian.
Christianity is better off without him, and you can't say that about too many people

That is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard from anybody who called themselves a Christian! Who are YOU to determine who is worthy of salvation?
You obviously don't understand the grace of God. There could be no such thing further from the truth than your comment. If Christ has has accepted AC, then that's good enough for me.
Interesting you should say that, I thought the same thing about the Yeatts parents...
