I believe Robbie is saying “What? Jesus didn’t die for you? What are you on… drugs??? OF COURSE HE DIED FOR YOU!!” I’m sure you’ve all had conversations like this when you talk some sense into someone, a friend… a colleague… There is much historical evidence of Jesus’ deity. I’ll provide links if asked Those of you whom put your faith into a man-made religion rather the person Christ, He still accepts you in your religion if you trust Him :- http://bible.cc/acts/4-12.htm http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/salvation_webpages/24-none_other_name_under_heaven.htm Recently bought Robbie’s Greatest Hits double CD and LOVE IT!!

Jesus didnt die for us. It wasnt his destiny from day one as he entered our world to die. He discovered that mankind wasnt ready to embrace and understand gods word. He was willing to die in order to pass on the truth of Gods word onto the people. If we had taken and absorbed gods word , his task would have been completed. His purpose was not to be cruzified by the romans and die so we could be forgiven for our sins. How ridiculous does this sound. In 2011 much hasnt changed. Wé would still ridicule, imprison, and persue anybody who claims to have abilities or a special connection with God, or perhaps if Jesus wandered our earth in flesh once again history might repeat itself.

Know your enemy: the devil is the only one true enemy of all the humanity: we, Christian believers, were also enemies of God in the past! We are only accepted by the grace, the mercy and the forgiveness of God, not by our theology. The faith is very simple to understand but not always easy to live because of our unbelief: to believe is the only way to please God, I mean to love Him because He is love! Jesus had made everything perfect on earth because He knows He could believe His father was taking good care of Him. Are we ready to love our "enemies" as Christ does and commit us? It is a challenge for us, not to defend God but to love those who are hating us! God doesn't need I defend Him! He is almighty! I don't need to defend the church or the truth because the true church, I mean the true believers all around the world, is the spouse of the Lord of the lords, the Truth him self! He is alive and He takes good care of his brothers! I only need to love my brothers, my neighbors and with softness. The fruit of the Spirit is a character: love, joy, peace, kindness, and others. Do we live as the Christ Jesus live? People needs to see Christians living their faith not to hear dogmatic theory but practical theology! The goodness of God in us will provide opportunity of sincere repentance. Are we ready to die to ourself or do we prefer standing "pure" and "apart" holy people gathering together as religious ones, letting the people without God die? We are sent to people by Jesus and not trying to catch people for our church! Christians belong to Christ and not to a human system. When I am hearing something "offending", I don't judge but offer the forgiveness of God! It would be forgiven also to people saying wrong things against Jesus, if they repent. Could we be good as the holy Father? Pascal from Belgium To my sisters and brothers.

Very interesting that it is making people think. I am gonna buy the cd for myself and listen to it. lol What else can you do? I know when I am convicted about something, I know when I choose to act on those convictions, something very compelling about this man, okay, well I looked up a couple other versions that end with Jesus really died for me.

I thought where in the heck have I been, this man can sing. I listened to several songs, watched a few video's then this song was the last song I played. It made me instantly sad, it broke my heart. I really couldn't even say why. I was next motivated to look up his biography, not too much there, other than I can't believe I haven't ever heard of him before. Then this site popped up after I googled " Robbie Williams religion. I had this drive to find out if he worshiped the devil or something, seriously the song just felt disturbing to me. I know Jesus died for me, I am not a over the top christian, but I feel strongly about the statements in the song. It is sad, to love music, to have such a gift, who else is there for him to thank?

I also took the "Jesus didn't die for you, what are you on?" as a question towards those who say he didn't. I find all Robbie's work highly thought provoking especially the 'B-side' type songs that don't get released into the charts. I find for me he is a good role model. He wears his heart on his sleeve allowing you access to the turmoil in his mind as he tries join up who he is, with how he knows he should be. Though I recognise the importance of having a role model who is good at being a Christian they are often an example out of reach to those who aren't. It's reassuring to know that someone is having the same difficulties and still striving to understand how they should be living their life.

Why? It tells me Robbie's still searching for the truth. His beloved Nan was a devout Christian and as he loved her dearly, she must have had a positive impact on him. Fellow christians: our job on this earth is show people a glimpse of Jesus' love for (all of) us to one another. Trust God. All others: I love you from the depths of my heart and... Jesus really died for you :-) As a Christian AND a Robbie “fan” (don’t actually like the word), I was pleasantly surprised by this song. Why? It tells me Robbie’s still searching for the truth.
