For many who have followed his journey, this moment feels like a continuation of a conversation he started years ago.

At the time, he hinted that he was no longer actively practising Christianity, leaving fans curious about where he stood spiritually.

Now, his latest update suggests a return — not just to familiar beliefs, but perhaps to something he feels more personally connected to.

"The Quran too from Torah and the Bible and used deception to add lies, evil, sins and deceit to make the book holy. It's a book of deception and opposite of the book of life"

"Familiars will never want you to leave God fully even though they give you the worldly riches and pleasures . They don't mind being in the mix. Only problem is Christ Jesus (God) doesn't want you in the mix."
