Jew, Gentile, Protestant or Catholic, who cares what Norman was or is! It's a great song with so many ethnic/rock undertones and it works! Praise the Lord!

In fact, you have to listen to the whole song, just as you would read the entire Bible."Prepare yourself you know it's a mustGotta have a friend in JesusSo you know that when you dieHe's gonna recommend youTo the spirit in the skyGonna recommend youTo the spirit in the sky"Now how can you say he's calling God a liar when he says Gotta have a friend in Jesus.This song is blatantly Christian.

It's only your assumption that he hasn't admitted he is a sinner and accepted Jesus. When someone says I've never been a sinner I've never sinned, I have a friend in Jesus. People know what that means, because you include Jesus. By placing Jesus, in there, it is the justification for why he has never sinned, and he's not a sinner. Without placing Jesus in there, the sentence will then lose its' entire meaning.

your missing the point you cant be a friend of jesus or a follower of his until you admit that you have sinned and were a siner and then repent. this song says ive never been a sinner ive never sined therefore this song is saying that the word of GOD jesus is a liar so that cancels any possibility of being friends with jesus.

But you miss the part where he says I have a friend in Jesus. You left that part out. So taking into account the whole sentence, he has never sinned because he has a friend in Jesus. Now, if the song didn't use the words Jesus, that is then a song that isn't Christian and therefore not Biblical.

no thats not my point, this song says ive never been a sinner and ive never sined and thats a lie all have sined and must come short og the glory of GOD.

Once you've placed your faith in Jesus, you are no longer a sinner, because you have accepted the sacrifice that he died for your sins. In Gods' eyes your are no more a sinner, because you have a friend in Jesus as your savior. You are now saved.

This song really has appeal, from the simple beat to the heavy guitar cords. Too bad it's hard to find more songs like this.

He's a Jew who wanted to try and write a gospel song, just for fun. So, he doesn't even believe in Jesus or all that. Just makes it that much sillier, in my opinion.
