"Jesus" was in love with "Mary Magdiline", Who was appearently a prostitute. So I don't see any thing wrong with sex for money. Prostitution is a talent and in some cases a skill so why can't we use our "skills" to make money?

He wasn't in love--He just loved her. Just like He loves you and me. Prostitution is a sin, but no eviler than any other.

The only way a man/women would defend prostitution, is because they walk around thinking it is a skill, or a job. This type of a career leads to much un-happiness and illness. Any man/women can do this ! Anyone who wants to use the private area with no shame, instead of the brain, can do it. I don't mean to judge your opinion, but this is mine and many other peoples too. You think prostitution is a talent ?? Ha ha what a laugh. any women can spread their legs and do it. But then we fall into the word shame. Some have no shame. They think it is great to sell their hind end for little and nothing. Then do you stop to think what prostitution does to marriages ? It cause adulterous break-ups, and in the olden days it causes a lot of syphillis cases. Many miners and men who traveled away from home to work, would engage in sex for money only to end up with syphillis and bring it home to his wife and children. Do you really think this is talent ? Why can't you use your skills to make money ?? Your intelligence has got to be better then that. To use you hind end as a skill ? Don't compare your sinful life to that of Jesus !! It says in the Holy Bible a once clean man, who leaves the house of a prostitute, will walk away, never to be clean again. So if you think prostitution is a talent and a skill, boy you sure have found a way to defend yourself. When any decent man finds out your a prostitute, he will never want you. What I think of a prostitute is similar to a garbage can. The men will put debre into your garbage can , leave their stink in your garbage can and then walk away. Yah , right , that is really talent and a skill !!! Figure it out.

You really think you can be happy being a prostitute? Skill, huh? Skills are things that can be enjoyed without getting payed $400 dollars per night by some crack dealers. You can't enjoy prostitution without the money. You wanna know why prostitution is wrong? Because it lowers you from a human being to an object which people use to please themselves. You pay a prostitute to have sex... You're basically having sex with your money. Both you, and the prostitute feel bad and guilty deep inside, but the prostitute is alright because she got payed, and you're good too, cause you got what you wanted - sex. But you just f'ucked your money.
I don't know who Jesus was in love with or whatever, but being in love with a prostitute and f'ucking a prostitute are two totally different things. And if Jesus was in love with a prostitute, then from that moment on, the prostitute wasn't a prostitute anymore. Technically you can't be in love with a prostitute. You can only f'uck a prostitute. That's why they're called prostitutes - cause they f'uck a lot. If you're in love with a prostitute, "f'ucking" loses its whole meaning, because you don't love the prostitute just so you can f'uck her. Hence, that girl is no longer a prostitute. At least not to you. And in Jesus's case, not to anybody.
Well, good luck.

Nobody knows for sure that Mary Magdiline was a prostitute, I'm not going to spout off about different theories, but not one person on this entire planet knows exactly what the relationship between jesus and her was, nor whether she was a protitute or not.
Prostitution is looked down on by almost every culture because it is seen as a woman degrading herself, but ask yourself which is worse a man having to pay for it or a woman benefiting from that because she can. prostitutes are looked down upon and slung into the gutter because we still live in a mans world, and any woman who dare speak out against these women is sacrificing everything that women have strived years to rectify. Believe it, the man is the sad party.
And by the way to one of the former answers, there certainly is a skill to sex, you're either good or you're not. And we all know which one we are

it makes the males tend to see that all women are the same and can be have sex with if the price is right, which is ridiculous.If that is true, would any male out there who thinks so have the stomach to swallow the male semen for a price?
prostitution is look down upon because people are aware that this is purely one sided business, because they know how to charm you, pretend they longed and loved you so, plead for your mercy for their sick relatives, but then leaved you when you have none to give materially anymore.
it is also wrong to promote that beauty and freshness of the body can fulfill the cravings of a biological need. If that is the case, if the prostitute is already old, diseased, unattractive, she is to be discarded as a rug. But why do they do that also to decent people, non prostitute? It's the side effect of promoting that youthfulness is the prime attraction instead that any age has its value.

It's not, and we really don't need to hinge our reasons for saying so on the threadbare figure of Jesus. How about a douche of common sense?
It's not called the "oldest profession" for nothing. We will never, EVER get rid of prostitution, regardless of how draconian we write our laws. Furthermore, it truly is a "victimless crime." Both parties are fully willing to engage in the act for their own ends. If you say "But the wife at home!", I say people's private marital issues are none of your damned business, and prostitution doesn't change that.
So we may as well write our laws as if we were dealing with reality - a novel approach to be sure. In Amsterdam, brothels are regulated and taxed. The prostitutes are checked for STDs and protected by law enforcement. And the Dutch themselves barely use them - it's only the smarmy, sex-starved, neurotic puritan Americans and their ilk who go to Amsterdam specifically to indulge their "vice."
Prohibition doesn't work. The oldest story in the bible itself is the lesson of the forbidden fruit. Place something off limits, and instantly it becomes an obsession.

She was not a prostitute. She was so prominent in the life of Jesus, the church has finally admitted this was a lie to take her importance away and tell that she was also an apostle. The church did not like the fact that a woman had the same status as the other apostles-who were men.
Her only sin was that she was a woman-not a good fact in the eyes of the church.

First of all the kind of love that Jesus had for Mary Magdaline was not that kind of love. Yes, Jesus loved prostitutes, He loves everyone, in fact there is a prostitute in His liniage. Prostitution is wrong 1) because it says so various places in the Bible, 2) the Bible also says that sex outside of marriage is a sin and prostitution occurs outside of marriage, and 3) the Bible says to follow the law of the land and the law of the land (at least in the US) says that prostitution is illegal.

I wouldn't say it's wrong, if you like it and are comfortable with it why not? I do think however, that putting a price for your body and sexual skill is degrading, because I think it should be done with love, for love not money and lust. Also, I do not enjoy being objectified, when I have sex I am merging with another soul, and I don't wish to merge with just anyone that's feeling horny regardless of whether I really like him. That's the way I feel about it personally, but I don't think it's necessarily "wrong" for everyone.
Also, when Mary Magdalene became close to Jesus she stopped prostituting herself so it's not a very good argument in your favour.

Right, but wrong. Jesus loved Mary just like he loves you and I and the rest of the world. It didn't matter to Jesus if you were a prostitute , mass-murderer, or tax collector. He loves them all the same. Now Jesus says " You've heard it said of old that you shall not commit adultery (7th Commandment), but I say to you that if you even look at a woman to lust after her, you have already comitted adultery in your heart." So, if you even look with lust you've broken God's law. So, on Judgment Day God would see you as an adulterer at heart and find you guilty of sinning against His holy nature. Therefore, He could not let you into Heaven. He must send you to Hell, otherwise He wouldn't be the Just Judge that He is. He must punish sin. Fortunately for us, He is a loving God in that He sent His son, Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross taking the punishment we justly deserve. If you repenet of your sins and trust Jesus to save you from God's perfect justice, then you will be made right before his holiness. So forget about sex for money. If you even think with lust it is a sin against God.

Jesus was not "in love", He loves all people good and bad. You need to read the Bible and quit going to movies because youare getting pretend and reality confused. Prostitution is a sin because it is either adultery or fornication, which are both sins. Sex is for marriage, not for mindless entertainment between people who usually don't even know each others middle name.
