Terrorist attack in Manchester

Thanks. I think what is particularly upsetting is that so many of the victims were children and teens; my own daughter is only a couple of years away from the age of some of the dead:Cry

This is exactly why the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ must be preached to all with urgency, as there is no telling when our lives might end. There is hope in no other, than the Saviour of mankind, the Lord Jesus. He feels all of the pain. This is indeed a very depressing and sad incident, and shows the depravity that is in mans heart, that a human can so callously take the lives of others, with no feeling or care. May the Lord grant His love, mercy and grace to all. :Cry

Also gay men. Her music is very popular in those clubs. Gay men and young girls are always Islam's first targets.

I have just seen some pictures of the "singer",who was "performing" at this concert. Quite frankly I think that it is an outrage that anyone would want to go and see this person, who dresses like a harlot! I can imagine the words to her songs being sinful.

However others disagree with you. While you limit your view of her based on her clothing, and your imagination of what she sings.... God has blessed her with a fabulous voice, which she has used to perform exclusively for children as well as adults.

Remember the Pharisee's dressed quite conservatively and were called hypocrites because of what was within them, and not because of their outside appearance.

Any Christian parent who allows their children to attend such functions, need their heads and hearts examined, and their sincerity of their walk with the Lord questioned. This is pure filth that children as young as 8, and probably less, are being exposed to. They even buy tee shirts with this half naked "singer" on them"! This is depravity that is being fed to our young. May the Lord have mercy! This does not excuse the murder of anyone, but our "western" countries are becoming more like Sodom.

I don't favor lewd enticing dressing, or intentionally exposing young minds to things they are not yet prepared to reason, which as you pointed out befalls the parents, but I do favor a person using their God given talents to provide for themselves, and not be a burden on society.

I don't Aline with Ms Grande's views on a number of specific things, however I do not dismiss the exceptional quality of her voice or the projects she has engaged in appropriately geared toward children.

And, BTW, this thread was not about Ms Grande, but was exclusively about a thug terrorist, (subsequently identified, as Salman Abedi) attacking and injuring and killing people exercising their right to attend a concert.

Andy ~ your "prayers" are misappropriated.

I don't require "prayers" for appreciating a woman's God given blessing of a fabulous voice.
I don't require "prayers" for agreeing with God, that people have the right to make their own choices.
I don't require "prayers" for NOT agreeing with everyone's choices.

You missed the point of the thread.
You missed the point of giving "prayers" to the injured, the murdered and their families,

Police have arrested three more men in connection with the suicide bombing in Manchester Monday night that killed at least 22 people and left dozens more injured.

The Greater Manchester Police said they apprehended three individuals in south Manchester early Wednesday morning. The arrests come just hours after authorities identified the bomber as 22-year-old Salman Abedi and arrested another 23-year-old man in connection with the attack.

I didn't take any issue with your post; it was Andy's, which has now been deleted so it looks like I was objecting to your post, which I wasn't.

Yes, American and French intelligence agencies were given the info but then apparently leaked it to the press; as a result, our chaps have stopped sharing intel with your chaps, which isn't good for either country....
