I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything but there is alot of igonorance on this board. But Marley was not a Christain, Bob Marley was a Rastafarian. The Rastafarian 'religon' or should I say 'way of life' was a collection of ideologies of the radical African philosopher Marcus Garvey . Marcus Garvey believed that the white mans god was the devil and that the black mans god, Jah, was the one true god.
The whole god being a man lyrics is reffering to Haille Selassie, otherwise known as Ras Tafari Makonnen, who become king of Ethiopia, their 'promised land', in 1930. They believe that he was the messiah, and that he died because of sin not for sin as Jesus Christ did. My friends it cames down to this, we can't pick and choose who God is, God is who he is, truth is not relative. You can live your whole life thinking this but I urge you to grow in the knowledge of your Lord and Savior--"From there you will seek the Lord your God, and You will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart and all your soul" (Deutoronomy 4:29). Apart from seeking with all your heart and soul you will not find Him...the written words were ment for you reflection!

@Changes Marley was baptized into the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian church before he passed. Judy Mowatt is also saved in Christ.
