Pearl Thusi is no stranger to starting controversial conversations on social media, particularly Twitter. This time, she has raised some interesting questions for Christians to think about.
The actress recently took to Twitter to ask for help in understanding one of the key points of the Christian religion. She wanted to know whether Mary, the mother of Jesus, had any choice in getting pregnant, carrying, delivering and raising baby Jesus, or whether God made the whole decision, then simply informed her of what was to be her fate.
For once, Pearl was very vulnerable about her hot takes online. She made sure to ask fans to go easy on her – she was not starting a fight. She asked not to be dragged, as she was genuinely just wondering out loud.
A controversial take…

And she got her wish. Tweeps who are usually ready to start a war came in peace this time. The result was a rather civil and intense discussion on the Bible, as many other Christians came in to talk about how they interpret the message of Mary being chosen to be Jesus’s mother.
Some other people who no longer identify as religious came in to applaud her for asking the tough questions. They talked about their own experiences raising questions and how it went badly, and also shared some of their own questions that have never made sense to them. One even suggested that it was a slippery slope she was getting started on, and the eventuality is that she will lose her religion.
This has to be the first time that Pearl has brought up such a hot topic and had it go over well with everyone on her timeline. Just recently, she found herself in trouble with Mzansi Twitter in the middle of Zola 7’s saga.
Fans have recently been concerned that Zola 7 has not been doing well, physically and financially, since he fell off the industry in a major way. What followed a reveal by music entrepreneur Nota Baloyi, was a big movement to find the singer and contribute some money for him, to lessen his alleged burden.
But in the middle of that conversation, some fans wanted to know why other celebrities were silent on his possible plight. Pearl responded that it would be tricky for celebs to align themselves with him in public now, since his GBV allegations did not quite go away.
As you can imagine, Zola 7’s fans were not pleased with her bringing up those allegations.
