Answer 1

This answer is 100% serious.

I spent 20 years, driving a taxi in a state where prostitution is legal. It should be legalized. I am a Christian, and would not recomend going to a brothel. But, if you have to go, go to a house that is regulated, and is a contributor to the society it's a part of.

Answer 2

A grin appeared on my face when I read this question.

Why does Christianity condemn prostitution if they're practicing the purest form of 'using what God gave you'?

The answer is simple - prostitution has never and will never be a pure practice.

There has NEVER been a prostitute who, if given the choice, truly ever wanted to be one and stay one. Male or Female.

Prostitution is not a happy life - it is bitter, cruel, and dangerous. Why would God want his beloved child to live in such a harmful situation? God is love - true love is never found in such a condition. Only falsehood and delusion.

Prostitution is never something that God himself created - man did that. In a prefect world, prostitution would not exist because of the harsh damage it commits on a person's soul and body.

Prostitution isn't just the selling of one's body; it’s the disregard of a person and simply seeing them as an object to satisfy another's lust. This conflicts and distorts the image and form of the very nature of God.

God is love. How is prostitution a form of love? It isn't. End of discussion. It isn't pure, therefore 'practicing the purest form of ‘using what God gave you'’ in regards for Prostitution is impossible.

Also note, when Jesus accepted prostitutes within his 'entourage' they STOP being prostitutes. That alone, shows that prostitution isn't support by God in any form.

I hope this answer will help you. Good luck in life!

Answer 3

Along with all other kinds of sexual immorality, sex before marriage / premarital sex is repeatedly condemned in Scripture (Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes abstinence before marriage. Sex before marriage is just as wrong as adultery and other forms of sexual immorality, because they all involve having sex with someone you are not married to. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations that God approves of (Hebrews 13:4).

Answer 4

Christians are not even supposed to have sex before marriage so how can prostitution be ok.So your saying that dangerously giving your body to a stranger not for love just money is pure and saving ones self for the love of their life and being committed to one person is not pure. God gave us sex to use for materialistic things or did he give it to use to be a special part of a relationship. Jesus hung around those people because he wanted to prove that they could be saved and forgiven. And it doesn't say in the Bible that Mary mag whatever her name was a prostitute it only says she came from a town where prostitutes lived. And i think Jesus saved that other prostitute.

Answer 5

Using your logic, I could go and strangle someone with my bare hands, and I'd also be practicing the purest form of using what God gave me.

Also with my foot, I could kick someone's teeth down their throats, same thing, just using what God gave me.

But, I don't do those things...why? Because its not right. Neither is prostitution. I believe there is still a thing called "morals." Not much left these days, but some.

Besides, it's pretty sad if you have to go buy sex.

Answer 6

I think you're confusing Christianity with Religion. Christianity is man's attempt at knowing God. Religion is the way we do that, i.e. laws and traditions. As a whole it is a demeaning profession to women and that is what we as Christians have a problem with. The actual act of sex is also something that is sacred between a man and womAn not womEn. It cheapens the act and takes away the bonding experience that God intends us to have. Yes, God traveled with misfits but they also walked away from their misdeed.

Answer 7

This is God's law. Christians did not make this up. We are just ambassadors of God. Jesus came to save those that were lost. The prostitute Jesus was around was forgiven. She turned from that life style of prostitution. Jesus will forgive anyone who will believe and repent of there sins. Repent means to turn from. Jesus wants us to turn from are old life stlye and follow him. Jesus is God in the flesh.

Answer 8

Because, dear person, there is absolutely NOTHING PURE about
1. a woman being having no money
2. a man being having money

3. and a woman having, having to give her most precious self
to a yukky stranger, a perhaps dangerous stranger, to his breath, his saliva, his most yukky self
4. in order to survive, pay bills, feed her kids
5. when she is probably in love with someone who pleases her and doesn't USE and EXPLOIT and COMMODIFY her and rob her of her DIGNITY and the TRUTH OF HER SENSES....

(If we think that doing the shuffle, yessir, nosir for Whitey is undignified, imagine what having sex, to get some pig's money is....)

Would you have sex with an unattractive person, in order to get a job? Would you call that a "pure" experience?

Answer 9

I would have to say that it is not a question of using what God gives you. If that were the case...what do we do with what God gave us? I am capable of having relations with a different person every night...does that make it a good thing to do?

Answer 10

Because that isn't using what He gave you properly. That's misusing it. That's like asking why don't Christians like their hands, when hands have been used for strangling people in the past.
