\nApril 10th:
\nI think many people will be surprised at how much [lady gaga’s] new album, coming May 23th, will have religious references, and inspire spiritual thought and discussion.<\/p>\n

Also strange is that she\u2019ll communicate using this type of God language to an audience that is<\/strong>, unlike her\u2026 as a child, *alien* to church<\/strong> (institutional or otherwise), biblical stories and references to God from scripture. This may revive these topics making far easier to engage her and her fans. Hopefully on a common starting ground (not like was done in [the fundie] example.)<\/p>\n

Be assured, God will use Gaga as *he* wishes. Believe it.<\/p>\n

It is his spirit that draws us to him. Why is she interested in these topics no ones cares about these days? Maybe because Gaga may be starting the conversation that God will use for mighty things. I will pray toward that.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: APRIL 15th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wonder if this song (Judas) and the others from her album will prompt listeners to read the gospels to better decipher her message. Being raised as a Fundie, I know my Bible pretty well, and now having heard the Gaga lyrics, to “Judas”, it even makes me<\/em> want to check out the several \u00a0stories she refers to, to see what’s up. She brings up Peter’s betrayal, the anointing at Bethany (think wiping her tears with her hair), Judas’ betrayal, among some of her lyrics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I find the references jumbled and confusing. Maybe she’ll decode them in the future. You can read them all here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the lyrics to the Bridge of her song JUDAS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

[Bridge]<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In the most Biblical sense,
\nI am beyond repentance
\nFame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
\nBut in the cultural sense
\nI just speak in future tense
\nJudas kiss me if offenced,
\nOr wear an ear condom next time<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I wanna love you,
\nBut something\u2019s pulling me away from you
\nJesus is my virtue,
\nJudas is the demon I cling to
\nI cling to
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
