As a Christian I know we all sin, there is no degree of sin. One is not worse than the others for all of you that say one you are a Christian you do not sin. well judging others is wrong the Word says judge not, as the same amount of judgment will be doled out on you. if you are proud it is sin, if you look at something and want it, lust after it, it is sin. claiming you do not sin is sin. you are making yourself better than others and you are not. Lets remember Jesus command to love your neighbors as yourself. Hate the sin love the sinner.

The stripper and theif: Well, I have seen a lot of persons who think that simply because they are "Christian", they can get away with anything. Its called "Self Righteousness". It seems to stem from the evangelical theology that accepting Christ as one's savior is more important than being a good person.
Christian Homosexual? Comes from knowing that the edicts against homosexuality are horribly mistranslated from the original Hebrew, and has nothing to do with the philosophies of Jesus.
The prostitute? Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, so why not?
Christian bar tender...hey, Jesus turned water into wine. So to be honest, Jesus was a bartender for at least one party.

As someone who used to spend a *lot* of time and money in strip clubs I'd say that under no circumstances should you do this. Talk to em(NVM). She's been there. Every time you go up on stage you'll leave a piece of yourself behind. The most degrading thing I have ever witnessed is a beautiful young girl, clothing in one hand, crawling around a stage surrounded by half-drunk men while picking up a handful of bills off the floor. And that's the best part of the job. Please don't do it. The Lord has better things for you. Peace

Just as you can tell a tree by the type of fruit it bears, so too will you tell a person by the fruit they bear.
You can no more be a Christian by placing the word "Christian" before any anti-Christian activity, than you can sit in a garage and call yourself a car.
God's laws do not change, they are the same forever - people change them to suite their own purposes.

The only requirement to be a Christian is the belief that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) and therefor the Son of God. Being a good Christian by someone else's definition is another story.

i don't remember anything in the 10 commandments about being gay. there is something written in the bible about staying with your own kind. i take that to mean people and dogs (any animals)shouldn't mate or have sex. neither should cats and dogs - and they physically cannot.
there is a commandment that says something about do not covet they neighbors' wife; nothing about having sex for a living. we all have to pay our bills and unless you are paying the bills for the prostitute keep your nose out of her business.
christian bartender: 'eat, drink, and be merry' ring any bells?
unless the thief is stealing food for the family .... i don't know......

Not in a true church. These churches have been deceived. The majority of churches will not mention sin nowadays. The sin nature is the cause of every problem man faces or ever will face. I suggest reading 1 Corinthians Chapter 5.

Well you seen that if you a Christian you will follow in Christ footsteps. He did not do these things so.... You will be what the Holy Spirit guide you to do. You can not keep on sinning once you have known God because that is to crucify Jesus all over again. Read the Bible
