I hate to say this but you are STUPID

I hate to say this but you are STUPID also

You are smart

Answer 1

Job prayed for a better life too, but he was withheld such glories for a time so that God would be glorified in His battles.

It's not about you! (It's not about me, either)

Answer 2

The question here isn't legality. Is she actually a dancer or does she just work there? Christian Women are not supposed to be immodest. Having any part of your body hanging out for men to ogle is certainly not doing her justice. In essence she is selling her gold for mere pennies. No matter how much it is- the price is too high. How old are her children? Truly her witness to them is stained as they grow older their respect will lessen. "It is better to be poor with honor than to be rich with unrighteousness" proverb paraphrase. Perhaps- I am assuming she is a single mother (as I would hope any decent man would not put his respectable woman in those shoes) she can find a more respectable job. Does she go to church? Do they know what she is doing? She should go to her pastor and his wife together _not him alone_ and see if they can help. How many children is she supporting? Do any fathers pay child support assuming there is more than one father... can she get it raised? (I have 2 children different fathers so no one is judging anyone) Can she reduce their expenses so that so much money is not needed? How much is she paying for this expense and that expense just because she works at night? there are many things to consider that would make leaving this immoral job. A Christian woman helping men to sin with their eyes against their wives and God... UMMM I wonder if that is a sin? It is wrong and a sin anyway you look at it from a Biblical perspective. If she wants God to help her get out she must give it up on her own and then let Him catch her. He will. He has never let me down ever. Giving up morality for money is never an excuse. There are other jobs... even if the pay is lower cut back on expenses. Get a more economical vehicle.. surely she doesn't drive to work in a mini-van... There are ways LOOK for them.. God will send you hidden treasures for honoring Him and not worrying about temporal things... being poor is not the worst of it. Stop looking at the problem and start looking at God. These are not just cliches.. my husband was a crack head- we have been poor things feel tough but they work out. Honor God there is a prayer... you can pray... Don't give me so much Lord that I forget You and don't give me so little that I dishonor You but Lord give me just enough that I may Praise You

Answer 3

Interesting, ? sweety you can't mix the wisdom of GOD with the word because it wont equal out. The bible states be in the world but not as the world, u can't help it if your parent moved u there not your fault GOD understand just don't take your top off. If your of age and moved there on your own and didn't know not you fault. But if u moved there and u new what was cracking then u most repent and ask God for guidance and direction. It becomes sin when u defile your body the holy temple, or lust after flesh or desire the things that will stagnate your grow, be wise and trust the leading of the holy ghost he will guide u in all truth. some people believe that toplessness is ok, but be a example because u never know who watching u, God will open a door keep the faith.

Answer 4

Ok, so yes...
Topless dancing is defiling your body. God gave you that beautiful body as a vessel, for example to be a mom. Your body houses the beauty that is in your soul. Would you bare your soul to everyone, your thoughts and deepest secrets? So why then would you bare your body?

Technically, Biblically, yes it is a sin.

BUT!!!!! I AM A SINNER! You are a sinner, we are all sinners!

And in God's eyes, all sin is sin. Nothing better, nothing worse.

So while you may be a topless dancer, I smoke weed. And doesn't that defile my mind?

WE ARE ALL EQUAL IN HIS EYES!

But because you are a Christian, you will struggle to do what is right, in your heart. And you will overcome it. And you will grow because of it.

If you feel in your heart you are doing something wrong, tell God you are looking for a way out. Ask him to OPEN A DOOR for you. He will do it.

And you will find a job, a better one, if you really want to. And at first, it may not pay as much, but you'll get by. And put in some effort! God helps those who help themselves!!!

But always remember that YOU are God's child. And the relationship between children and their parents, as you know, is unconditional love.

Answer 5

Topless dancing is a sin because it aids the men who watch you in sinning by lusting, thereby commiting adultery in their hearts. I'm sorry if you can't find a better job and will pray that you do. If you quit that job and try to get some other help it will help you. Your prayers will be more effective then. I hope that you get involved with a church that can help you through this.

Answer 6

This is a dilemma as it is about practicality vs morality. If you value your morality in the highest regard, then you should not consider topless dancing. Otherwise if you're desperate, then do so.

I may not be much, but if I were in that girl's shoes, I'd pray for forgiveness that I need to do such a task and sacrifice for the sake of my kids. I would also ask for protection from whatever harm may come onto me during the process.

Answer 7

Yes, it is a sin.

This profession involves exploiting one's God-given body in a sexual way for money. It also encourages others to look upon you in a lustful way. So you're not only degrading the temple that has been given to you by God, but you are encouraging other people to sin as well. It's not an honorable profession.

Please encourage this person to find another job. Even if she makes less money at something else, she will have her self-respect.

Answer 8

Are you having sex with the customers?
What's different than being an underwear model?
Victoria secret, or a beauty contest were they wear very little.
Do what you are doing pray for a better way, but until it comes, you are doing what you have to do to live.
You are keeping your children and not saying I can't support them so send them to a foster home or something.
I think you should be commended, your a good mother.
The only women promised eternal life was a former prostitute.

Answer 9

I don't think it's a sin as in she is a bad person and in need of condemnation. However, is she living a life of wholeness, is her life meaningful, is it something she would want her daughter to do? It's more of a sin that women in our society can't find decent jobs that pay enough for a single mom/parent to support their kids.
Are you "in love with a stripper...?"

Answer 10

Yes, Your example lacks competence because you say "she prays". A praying woman would not work in a place like that in the first place! Please put some Thought in your next question when you want to make a pointless example against Christians!

Answer 11
