I wasn’t familiar with this song or the story behind it; glad to have heard it:

**To those convinced David Bowie is destined to Hell, I’d ask, “What is the meaning of the necklace around his neck?”**
That to some it’s fashionable.
I’ve noticed celebs wearing a cross since I was just a preteen. I remember (was about 15 I suppose) watching the Tom Jones show on tv with my siblings and parents, and seeing Tom, with his shirt unbuttoned halfway down, and a cross hanging around his neck, gyrating and crooning. Being a skull full of mush (as Rush puts it), I thought to myself, “See, you can be a sex symbol, and still be a Christian.”
That was a subtle beginning to what would eventually lead me to try and ‘serve two masters’. By the time I was 20, I was in dual lifestyle mode. Church on Sunday. But living the night life on other days of the week. But, knowing deep down that it was wrong, I refused to wear a cross, even though I saw others wearing one while going to the nightclubs and discos (amazingly, though I give credit to my parents and fear of God, I never did find out what it was like to get drunk).
I gladly waved goodbye to that way of life shortly after turning 28.
David Bowie was just one of many that died that same day. His music probably had little or no impact on my life.
Life is a vapor.
My friend Jesus stated to judge RIGHTEOUSLY did he not? That would assume that He would want us to be discerning to sound Biblical doctrines... Did not Paul rebuke the Corinthians for their lack of judgement etc... Matt. 7:16-17... When you use bible verses besure to use them in context and rightly..
Hurt not the Trees..... Rev. 7:13 (till)
Again we are just going by David’s own life and words... how’s that for judgement???
wow... Madonna, Ozzy, Toni Iommi, Lady Gaga etc.. all wear crosses too... they must all be believers.....
