Alice Cooper (Vincent Damon Furnier), American rock singer with a career span over five decades. His shows featured numerous props and stage illusions, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords. Cooper is considered by many music journalists and peers to be “The Godfather of Shock Rock”.
He was recently asked by Greg Laurie of The Jesus Revolution, ‘Who is Jesus Christ to you?’ https://youtube.com/watch?v=x-O3qyM-7JI&feature=share
Well, you know, He’s everything. We would not be here without Him. I know many people have no idea who Jesus Christ is, they think it is a swear word. He is not preached enough. Jesus is the most written about character of all time in history and yet people go out of their way to not believe in Him. ‘Why do you think that is?’ I think it’s because they don’t want to give up their godship. They want to believe, ‘I’m a good enough’ They believe the Hollywood version, if I do more good than bad, then I’m ok. And he, Satan, has got you right where he wants you, to believe that.
Alice Cooper continues ‘I (Jesus Christ) am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by Me’ (John 14:6). Those are the truest words ever spoken. How can you deny that? So as far as I’m concerned, I mean, my life is based on that now. He allows me to rock and roll, but ‘follow Me’. So, it’s my lifestyle, my wife and I both, it’s our lifestyle with our kids. It’s a Christian lifestyle. There’s a lot of Christian rockers out there. I just happen to be the most vocal one.
Alice Cooper has been outspoken about his religious awakening. In a 2018 interview with New York Daily News, he said: “My wife and I are both Christian. I grew up in the church, went as far away as I could from it — almost died — and then came back to the church.”
A life changed by the reality of God, the truth of Jesus Christ.
Alice Cooper admitted that he contemplated changing his name after he came to faith in Christ, but his pastor advised him not to.
“I went to my pastor, and I said, ‘I think I’ve gotta quit being Alice Cooper now.’ He says, ‘Look where he put you. What if you’re Alice Cooper, but what if you’re now following Christ? And you’re a rock star, but you don’t live the rock-star life. Your lifestyle is now your testimony.'”
