DJ Akademiks caused quite a stir online by posting a video of Justin Bieber talking about spiritual values. In the short clip, he reported that lustful thinking carries the same spiritual penalty as adultery. The media personality simply commented, “Is Biebervelli retouching or faxing?”, thus allowing his audience to draw their own conclusion.
The biblical allusions did not take long to arrive and the immediate reaction was predominantly like this. A large number of people were quick to cite Matthew 5:28-29 as biblical support for Bieber’s claim. One of the individuals mentioned the verse that says: “But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” The question of scriptural basis turned out to be the central theme of the speech and many declared that it was not Bieber’s personal idea but rather a belief spread by the Church.
The star had the support of different people. One person said, “The facts are in the Bible in Matthew,” another said, “He’s definitely in business.” Spiritual support continued with “Jesus is king and savior” and “Bieber got that conviction from the Holy Spirit,” revealing strong agreement with the artist’s interpretation of the Bible.
Still, some did not support the idea that lust was the same as adultery in spiritual terms. A division was marked in the comments between those who fully agreed with the entire biblical reference and those who questioned its applicability. One skeptical user commented: “So basically having a brain that works like a man is a sin? Got it?”, drawing attention to the fact that this is a teaching that many find very difficult to cope with. Meanwhile, another user even admitted, “Well, if that’s the case, I’ve cheated about 1000007 times,” bringing to light the funny aspect of the debate.
The discourse continued indirectly and not directly linked to theology. A couple of users brought up Justin’s past indiscretions; one even commented, “Anyway, wasn’t my brother sipping Odell at the club?”, while another alluded to negative conversations about the artist that have circulated in the past. All of these comments serve as a reminder that Bieber’s complicated public history still has an impact on people’s perception of his current spiritual path.
One very insightful comment from the person made the whole debate more complex: “He is right and he is wrong, it is a sin we cannot control, but it is not the same as the act. But no sin is good.” This stance simultaneously recognized Scripture and the complexity of human nature with respect to sin. Another participant spoke about the enormous challenges that today’s couples face, stating that both men and women generally consider each other a mere transaction and not a partner in a meaningful relationship.
The intense avalanche of reactions was a clear indicator that the artist’s spiritual growth has always been a public fascination. The comments section ranged from prayers for his faithfulness to doubts about his authenticity, reflecting a small-scale version of the larger debate about celebrity, religion, and inner growth. One supportive comment was particularly striking: “It makes me so happy that you are thinking about the word of God and that you can find hope in the Lord despite your suffering.”
By the way, the name “Biebervelli” even led to a small controversy when someone asked, “Biebervelli? When did it become Veli?”, proving that every little point in the post generated engagement. The combination of scripture quotes, personal stories, humorous comments and doubts led to a lively online debate that reflected public attitudes about religion and the influence of celebrities in general.
Thousands of comments presented an extremely fascinating scenario of how spiritual teachings are interpreted in the contemporary world. The dialogue was developed, on the one hand, in the language of biblical texts and, on the other, laughing emojis, sincere prayers and sarcastic comments; It demonstrated not only the eternal power of ancient writings but also our sophistication in the way we implant them in the modern world. Justin Bieber’s narrative still raises questions about religion, morality, and the difficulties of growing up in the spotlight.
