what is the churches opinion on prostitution?

Answer 1

God loves prostitutes just like He loves all of the other lost sinners. If they repent of their sins and come to Jesus they will be a new creation in Christ and their sins will be forgiven both by God and his people and they will be welcome in the church.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Answer 2

Well, you didn't mention which church you are interested in, but I'm not aware of any church that thinks prostitution is good. Most religions teach us that family and procreation are sacred, and should be used appropriately. Prostitution is the act of trading those sacred things for money, which is of much less value.

Answer 3

I think the church accepts everything, don't think they are in any position to judge anyone on the outside. However, the Bible does not agree with prostitution it is a form of immorality and lack or respect for your own body which was created by God to begin with.

Answer 4

You need to define which church group as some actually use prostitution in a form of rituals. Christian churches usually are apposed to prostitution.

Answer 5

Prostitution is a sin, according to the Bible. You would be suprised however by some facts in the Bible. A prostitute became a follower of Jesus, and her sins were forgiven. She stopped the prostitution. There are blasphemers out there that say she had fornicated with Jesus. That's not true.

Answer 6

The important thing is the teaching in The Bible.

Matthew 21:31-32
Jesus said to them (the Pharisees), "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him."

1 Corinthians 6:15-17
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

Answer 7

I would assume that they are sinners in need of redemption. The Christian church really can't say much, as they tend to prostitute themselves for things. Remember, the word has more than one meaning, but Revelations does refer to the sacred prostitute, who does things counter to the teachings of Christ.

Answer 8

Officiallly............. frown, frown, mumble, mumble.

In reality if no-one knows what fraff you get up to and you get down on ya knees all contrite and repentant on sunday after playing at "Anti christ" da rest of the week, then "Hey!!!!, Let's party!!!!"

Seriously i haven't got a clue what the position is but why should anyone give a flying f*%k......... the catholic church excommunicates families in South and Central America who get abortions for their raped pre-teen daughters and tells HIV infested Africans that condoms are the "Devil's Boots"!!!!

Let's just not bother with organised religion anymore, after all.......... Causes more problems than it solves.......

Answer 9

Some churches are afraid to talk about some wrong stuff that going on in America today, because I heard that pastors can't preach on gay marriage like before. That's crazy, where's America going?

Answer 10

Read the bible..
God's words on this subject are quite clear.
"Churches" opinions differ.
That's the difference.
God and man cannot be compared.
