Prostitution

[Guest hezekiahrue]

Prostitution, escort services, and other sexual sins are a growing problem for Christian men. I found a link to a website where men debate whether or not you can be a Christian and see prostitutes, or be a prostitute. Many prostitutes justify what they do by saying, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.

These discussions come from The Erotic Review Board. The primary purpose of the board is to discuss escorts. It is an interesting place to find a discussion on Christ.

By the way, the use of escorts is referred to as "the hobby".

This is a problem the church is ignoring.

What say you?

We need to be careful about the links we provide...and make sure they are appropriate and don't violate the board rules. Also, remember...young ppl like myself post here too. Thanks.

I respectfully decline to view the links you provided. I don't look at anything with "erotic" in the title.

Have you been with prostitutes/escorts? Have you been one yourself?

I'm asking because I'm wondering if this is what you meant when you said you are contemplating suicide.

Nothing in the Bible says that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. She had 7 demons cast from her.

I'm sure they'll be deleted. The church refuses to deal with it, so the Christian men who deal with it are left to porno boards to discuss it.

Go ahead and stay in your safe little planning the church bazaar mode. Keep giving pat answers. You can feel smug about your superiority. Meanwhile, a battle for the souls of the spiritual leaders of our families rages around us.

I have moved. I have visited a new church for three weeks. During that time exactly no one has spoken to me. I called the minister to discuss my problem and he told me I was a loser who lacked faith.

Meanwhile, Joel Osteen is on Larry King saying he can't tell other people you get to heaven through Jesus, though that's what he believes. Yet God has blessed him obscenely.

As Tony Campolo said, Christians are the wrong people to go to when you have problems. I'll remember that and stay in my place.

I have modified my post to remove the links. I still haven't heard what the church is doing to help men with this problem.

So just because ppl want to protect themselves from impure thoughts and the temptation to sin, and asked you to modify your post...you're going to judge and label everyone for that and get upset?

That's immature. If you struggle with this, you of all ppl should recognize the need to protect ppl from temptation.

It is not a growing problem, it has always been a problem.

The thing is, certain issues must be discussed among men and men alone. A woman cannot offer a man's perspective or advice on this issue. Certain problems, though real, should also not be shoved in the face of certain people. You say you are here to ehlp, but some men may not be capable of helping for they suffer the same thing.

I hope you find help, but bitterness can never aid in help.
