Hi guys

There are some said Christians who are Youtubers and Instagram Models.

Some youtubers who talk about futile matters like entertainment or even curse in their videos sometimes also say they are Christians.

Some Instagram Models who show off their bodies in bikini say they are Christian and post Bible verses in their pictures.

 

Are these people sinning or are they Christian at all?

Also, if you are an Instagram Model who only post modest pictures or an Youtuber who talks only about good stuff, you could eventually be sinning too causing people to envy your status or your material wealth, denying humility without realizing it.

So would it be not wise for a Christian to be famous at all on the Internet?

We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart soul strength and minds, and our neighbors as ourselves.

We are to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.  We are to consider others to be better than ourselves.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.  

If we are truly seeking after God we will not be seeking to exalt ourselves but Him.  Nor will we envy those whose values are askew yet who claim to be Christians.  We will pray that they come to know true riches of a spiritual nature and of modesty and humility.   Those who seek the world's values are poor wretched and blind.

 1Pe 5:5  Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

 1Jo 2:15  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.  1Jo 2:17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

I would say that yes, they could still be Christians, (you can be a Christian and still be misguided) There is nothing wrong with making money on the internet depending on how you do it. I do however have an issue with girls who show off there bodies for all to see. They could be causing men, (and these days even women) to stumble; I have no issues with a pretty girl, but save it for your husband. Joe Smith does not need to commit adultery with you through lust. As for famous, that is even good - in fact if you put God first He will lift you up - but if you lift your own self up above God, or others, that is when God will humble you.
