As a Christian, and from a faith perspective Grande might even be worse than IS (amongst the best enemies our tax dollars can buy). Leading millions of youth down a path to moral destruction has nothing to do with traditional American values, any more than producing porn, dealing drugs or physically assaulting Christians and conservatives (antifa). Grande has far more in common with IS than she does with me or my family.
As John MacArthur said in a sermon a couple of years ago, the two worst terrorist attacks on our soil were the scotus decisions in favor of abortion and gay marriage. Grande is a supporter of those causes.
Do isolated outbursts define a person?
Aren’t these similar comments to what parents of kids who wanted to go see the Beatles were making?
Is this the time to address this, just 24 hours after a terrorist attracted kids at her concert?
I would think Grande and her followers have gone through enough for the time being.
I read this today:
And just then some people were carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” Then some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Stand up, take your bed and go to your home.” And he stood up and went to his home. When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings.And a few days ago this:
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.
And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.Might I suggest that, of all things, prayer is the appropriate response?
