She is a lingerie model too. She never gave up modeling (there are models who give up modeling because of Christ). Wouldn't it be agaist her christian faith that she models lingeries? Is she in a sinful state for being a Victoria Secret model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are very religious but are not born again. She may be a devout Catholic but not read and know the Bible. She may be a devout Mormon or Jehovah's Witness and call herself a Christian but actually be deceived. So I can only encourage you to pray for her. I have never heard of her before, but I am not well acquainted with the things of the world. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a relationship with a church. People who are born again understand the Bible clearly and hunger to read it. They pray to and listen to God, walk in His Spirit and reach out where His love leads them, and they desire to live a life that honors God in all they say and do. Yes, they often fail. But increasingly they allow Christ in them to work through them, to love and forgive through them. 2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2Co 13:5 ESV Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many girls will think "adriana lima is a christian and models lingerie, so I can be a christian and try to look sexy on pictures at the same time". Bad exemple.

I think what is acceptable in society in general has gotten out of hand. I think I'll leave it up to the Lord to decide any persons situation.
