Firstly and most importantly I wish to share my sympathies with those who died or who were injured at Ariana's concert, their families and friends. Also to those who had to deal with clearing away the bodies and taking the wounded to hospital and those who have seen death and mayhem up close and personal for the first time, even if they were not physically injured themselves. Mental scars can be just as hard to heal.

As a Christian I would advise everyone to pay attention to the words of songs you listen not only personally on the radio, but also in shops and the songs your children listen to. Making deals with the devil should not be taken lightly and I would hope they were not a part of main stream popular music. I would certainly censor any such song in my house. That is I do not approve either but I am not going to go arround killing people because of it.
May all the children of the "Great I am" come together as stewards of the World.
The word was left for you
we
O.M.G. is a very dangerous thing to say
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.O.M.G. means "Oh My God" or "Oh My Gosh" a corruption of the same and if you are not using it in that meaning then you are in trouble with the Almighty. Unless you mean it.
Exodus 20:3 N.K.J.V.
Please be careful what you say.
If it is taken lightly It can be very damaging to your life. It can lose you friends make enemies or break up marriages or relationships. You may think I exaggerate, but let me explain.
If it is said at the alter to your bride to tell God how beautiful she is. It can make marriages last in lives of mutual respect and love.
Whereas, saying "O.M.G." or "Oh My God!" during sex with someone you hardly know is almost certainly idolatry. You are worshipping the sex not God. Worshipping anything other than God is idolatry. Idolatry, a separate sin, curses your children to third and fourth generation.
It is not only taking the Lord's name in vane and a form of Idolatry it is also fornication, which is also a sin but not one of the ten commandments.
The basis of any sound society is the family and families are based in marriage. Agreeing to love each other as long as you both shall live in front of God, friends and family the whole community.
Fornication is the antithesis of this. It is just sex for the pleasure of it. It leads to broken homes single mums who cannot be good mums and get food on the table and dads who do not care. A life where every one looks out for just number one and that is not God.
Be careful which side of the fence you are on. On God's side with your friends and family supporting your relationship is so much easier than fighting for a life on your own.
Exodus 20:2
Some Christians hold that the Cross/Crucifix in churches is a graven image, which it often is or possibly a cast or molten image and so you should not bow down to them.You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
This implies the hall of worship should be empty of any and all graven images.
If you follow this logic it implies we should not have them. This is the Why and How some of us stopped having crosses or any other graven image in churches.

Why the Universal set is a paradox and yet has to exist.
A paradox is something that is neither true nor false. e.g. This is false. If that statement were false then it must be true.
If it were true then it must be false. Both ways around it contradicts itself. It is neither true nor false it is in fact the
simplest paradox.
Mathematicians know Russell's paradox means you cannot have a Universal set of everything in mathematics. Otherwise it causes paradoxes.
According to naive set theory, any definable collection is a set.
Let R be the set of all sets that are not members of themselves.
If R is not a member of itself, then its definition dictates that it must contain itself.
If it contains itself, then it contradicts its own definition and so cannot be contained in the set R.
This means the set R is invalid in mathematics, which as a search for consistent truth excludes paradoxes. This is why mathematicians use a more complicated definition of sets called ZFC set theory which includes the axiom of choice. This theory enforces the exclusion of paradoxes and in the process excludes the Universal set that is the naive set U that contains everything, even itself
Mathematics restricts itself to all the self consistent beliefs to provide some very useful tools such as counting and fractions and percentages that can be relied on to give consistent results every time.
So the Universal set is quite correctly excluded from mathematics because if mathematics allowed paradoxes it would not be at all useful in science or accounting or the running of our daily lives.
From a philosophical point of view it is hardly surprising that the Universal set includes paradoxes, because the naive set of everything that exists has to include paradoxes because paradoxes exist. Paradoxes are just as real as numbers and as easily logically defined.
However, both mathematics and philosophy are based in words. Words do include paradoxes and Russell's Paradox as a part of the naive philosphical Universal set which is a philosophical not mathematical concept.
The Universal set may not be useful in mathematics but it is useful in finding an abstract definition of God.
The Universal set Contains everything so it is omnipresent.
The Universal set Contains all knowledge so it is omniscient.
The Universal set contains all possible outcomes even the ones we might call fictional or paradoxical. So it is omnipotent.
The Universal set Contains the creation of time and the whole of time until beyond the end of the Universe. So it is eternal.
The Universal set Contains the foundation of the Universe and can be called the foundation of everything if not the creator.
The Universal set contains all life and so it is alive in the same way a city is alive or a snail with hard lifeless shell and lively hiddden body. If you take extremes as Issac Asimov did it leads to Gaia, Galaxia and on a much bigger scale the whole of existent abstract and physical being alive.
The Universal set is a paradox. Paradoxes are based in words not numbers. Words are symbols used to share meaning.
Words are only useful if you have some knowledge and know some one to share it with.
Lying is abusing the symbols to not share meaning. This effectively stops lies from being words.
The fact that the Universal set shares meanings implies that it is by and large benevelont. However be aware of the anger of God if you know of his word and do not respect it, the Bible repeats over and over the stories of various kings and cultures that have died and disappeared because they did not fear God.
Yet another paradox of the God of Love. If you love him and let him lead you in life you find love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. These can help you even through illness, imprisonment torture and death. It is inside you, mind and soul.
The Universal set is a paradox. It shares the meaning that the Universal set cannot be contained by mathematics.
The Universal set also defines all the primordial features of God. It is omnipresent, omniscient, the creator, eternal, omnipotent, it is alive.
On the positive side of this This does have an effect on the laws on Thermodynamics. As we can build sand castles so may God. It may be that he just has not yet or we have not recognised them as his work. Although that is one of the promises of the second coming. We get to live in heaven or hell for all eternity.

An eternity without sex
There is only one reason for sex and that is to replace our perishable bodies. If we lived for ever there would be no need nor I suspect desire for sex.
If your eternal soul living in Paradise lives for ever, why would you want children? To replace yourself and inherit the earth after your death? As your eternal soul will last for ever and creating children just leads to over crowding. There is no point in having sex or even sexual organs in Paradise.
God made our earthly bodies for a life followed by death. So our children can inherit the earth and their children after them. This is the fallen creation where everything is corrupted and death was let in. Our sexual organs hormones and desires are created for life within the fallen Creation. To replace us with new generations.
This is one reason, I believe, the Muslim idea of paradise with many virgins given to every man just does not add up. In the first place there are not that many virgins in the second place in a perfect heaven there would be no need for sex.
We Christians imagine God The Father and the angels as mainly masculine figures, when in fact God the Father does not need a wife as he is everything there cannot be a wife outside him. He has to be a sexless God.
We as the Churh are described as the Bride of Christ. That does not mean we are women. That refers to the love shared with him. He loves from the inside out and the outside in. It is the intimacy of his love for us and our love for him that is being expressed. The closest to which we can understand on Earth is the love of husband and wife.

Modesty and morality
The Bible and the Koran both tell us to dress modestly. The material world advertises sex as love,
which it is not. Lust is a selfish
desire to fulfil one's own desires. Love
is the desire to serve the needs of others.
In a loving marriage both can exist together. The Materialist world quite literally advertises
the opposite. The fastest route to power
for a young person is their sex appeal.
Looking at the gyrating hips of a pop star is looking at an
Idol (Idolatry) and is lustful. There is
no desire to do the pop star any good, it is just a desire for sexual
gratification with said pop star.
Immodest dress leads to immoral thoughts in undisciplined
people. Muslim's, to my mind wrongly,
put the blame for the immoral thoughts on the person who is immodestly
dressed. I put the blame squarely on the
lack of self-discipline.
Having said that self-discipline is something that takes
time to learn, which is why being modestly dressed is important in both books. Lying on a beach almost completely naked is
being immodestly dressed.
It provokes in a lot of Muslim minds an implication of immorality,
whether there is immorality there or not.
Given that 94% of Britain’s are not religious the immorality could be
very real.
I write this not to excuse the attacks in Tunisia but to
explain them. If you want to stand out
as a Christian; dress modestly, even on the beach.
Remember that Pop Idols and Fashion models and film stars are
mostly Satanists, whether they know it or not.
They want people to worship them and not God. Some say I feel possessed when on stage. Quite probably they are.
