Perhaps you are right. It could be that I am interpreting it wrong. I do not think so; but I won’t be mad if God instructs me otherwise some day.
The question remains, though, did Bowie than do the work of God?
Also, on a slight tangent, God is a merciful God; but he is also a just one. If you don’t get pardoned, you get punished, whatever that punishment may be.
I like his Drummer Boy singing with Bing Crosby, he clearly wasn’t ‘anti-God’ even in the 70’s. Heck, we can’t read minds, much less understand the gospels fully. Jews think all the goyim need to follow the noahide laws and you’re good enough off. Basically the 10 commandments.
