Dylan’s theology
I was listening to some old Dylan songs today from his SAVED album and was impressed with his understanding. It It pretty much seems like really sound doctrine.
As we say here “it was strong as dirt.”
So many songs refer to being born depraved.
In the song Saving Grace it is clear he understands grace.
IN ‘What can I do for you?’ it seems clear that he understands the blessing of being chosen. And he thanks God for letting him be among the few.
Some questions were so profound...’when He spoke to them in the city, did they hear? when He healed the blind and crippled, did they see? When he rose up from the dead, did they believe?’
Up until “Are you ready?” it all sounds like Calvin. Then it sounds a little like something depends on you.
That SAVED CD caused me to listen to SHOT OF LOVE CD again and the song Property of Jesus has some great lines about being free of superstitions and not telling fairy tales etc. The song Trouble is an awesome teaching.
And even if someone just can’t stand Dylan…how can you not love the song/prayer “I Believe in You’ from the SLOW TRAIN COMING CD. I feel like I should start each day singing that song. Lately that is my favorite song. Don’t tell Freebird it got dumped.
Come to think of it SLOW TRAIN COMING is another CD that has some rock solid wisdom on it. The song Gonna Change My Way of Thinking sounds like an old Testament prophet shouting out warnings. Precious Angel declares you just can’t do this by yourself and talks about freedom from the law.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows what church fellowship Dylan had after leaving the Jewish faith, has anyone heard/read lately how he is? And does anyone have a different take on him than I.
