Woe ( Romans 1 v 18. / 2 v 16 )

 In Isaiah 6 the prophet has a vision 0f God, and he hears the angels calling out,'' Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty'' ,and he is overwhelmed, and he cries out, ''Woe is me,.... I  am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips''. Leupold  makes the following comments', 'He felt sin as we would feel it if our insight were not so blurred and dulled'. Valerie Hervo runs Les Chandelles ,the infamous  sex club in Paris, it is interesting how she speaks of and how it is described, saying it is a group sex club. It is visited by the country's political, economic and cultural elites to live out their sexual fantasies ,the word  libertinage is used to describe what takes place ,meaning freedom from  moral  restraint, in the area of sex. The badly dressed , the ugly, vulgar, have no hope of getting in, no only the beautiful, intelligent and well educated are welcome. Ordinary mortals are not welcomed, the club itself is bathed in  lambent red light. ,Someone described her visit there as beautiful, alas it is anything but beautiful, it is far from what God's gift of sex is meant to be , and no matter how one would tries to sanitize such a place and what takes place in it, it is wrong morally. It reminds me of what Isaiah wrote ,'Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.'  Isa 5 v 20.
