A Loaded Question for Christians

[Aoi Magi]

prostitution is not a crime... well with some backward high nosed moralists it is, but in reality, most prostitutes are actually the victims. There should be no comparison whatsoever to an actual criminal

There's a story in Bible where Jesus saves a whore from being stoned to death. I heard about it in Sunday class. She apparently goes on to become some big deal. Jesus believed in forgiving people's Sins if they had genuine remorse for their sins and really wanted to be better.

OP describes such a person, someone that has genuine remorse for his bad deeds and wants to live his life as good as possible, ie, someone that's found Jesus, I was questioning CL's apparent lack of empathy for that person by comparing what Jesus would've done in that kind of situation.

Again, prostitution or adultery is not a crime, at least nowhere near comparable to a murder or bank robbery with brutal assault,
theological sin =/= crime
Crime should have real world consequences.


I know the story very well Pool, but what I am saying is they shouldn't be compared. Besides, if you really read it, it also highlights the degree of this particular sin as equal to normal person's sins, only one without sin may throw the first stone.

prostitution is not a crime

Only in certain counties in Nevada.

Nevada is the only U.S. jurisdiction to allow some legal prostitution. Currently eight counties in Nevada have active brothels (these are all rural counties); as of June–July 2008 there were 28 legal brothels in Nevada.

yes, maybe I should say "it shouldn't be a crime". This exists all over the world from ancient times, almost all of the ancient religions support woman abuse, yet somehow making a living out of it is somehow a punishable offense.
