Bowie has always kind of creeped me out. Music is so full of Satanism. Satan was a cherub made of musical instruments.
Ezekiel 28;13-16
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thank you for the essay. Quite a bit much for a casual study.
“the Empty Tomb, and Jesus’ ascension are all mocked in the song...”
St. Augustine wisely pointed out that the Apostle’s nets were broken because of too many fish which signifies how the Church is broken because of too many apostates (reject the faith) and heretics (twist the faith). So what causes apostasy and heresy? According to Augustine, “carnal desires.”
As you can imagine, David Bowie was fueled by carnal desire for ladies and money and probably did not read the Bible 15 minutes every day and go to confession once a month, as suggested in the Bible.
