Actually it’s “Never been a sinner, I never sinned.”
The reason I don’t listen to his song. Fruit of the devil.
Thanks.
I didn’t catch that, I just cut and pasted the lyrics, if I had read them instead of just doing a quick glance, I would have caught it.
I think what happened is that I didn’t notice that it was the lyrics from one of the later versions of the song by someone else, I just assumed that it was the original lyrics that I was looking at.
Yeah, I think we can probably attribute that lyric to his Jewish upbringing. After all, rabbinic Judaism is the spiritual descendent of the Pharisees, and that was their attitude, that they would earn their way into heaven by being sinless.
Just goes to show that throwing “Jesus” into a song won’t make it Christian, if the writer doesn’t understand the principles of Christianity to begin with.
The music is good though, a cool little variation on the traditional guitar boogie, with some nice effects on top.
I always assumed that lyric was from the standpoint of having been washed clean so that no sin existed. If you have the imputed righteousness of Jesus then in one sense you have no sin, thus there is no condemnation. But in another sense we have all sinned which is why we need Jesus.
But I have read that he is Jewish and I hope he realizes the truth that he put in his song, that he needs a relationship with Jesus.
