So what?

Do you know how much contempt Jesus had for prostitutes? I don't know, so tell me, please.

A woman could steal, they could live off of government hand outs, or she could use a marketable skill to make a living. If that skill is sex work, it is what it is. I respect her.
Sure, I'll tell you what Jesus said to prostitutes "Woman, where are thy accusers?" No one was around left to accuse her "Neither do I condemn you, GO AND SIN NO MORE." ie get another job. No contempt, but no looking at it from your point of view. The prostitutes in Jesus' day had no governmental welfare services to fall back on (no food stamps, unemployment office, welfare, food pantries, section 8 housing, free cell phones, etc).

There is no excuse for prostitution or selling drugs. I said I was not going to post here anymore- but the inanities of these arguments are just too idiotic without putting my two cents in, and you wanted to know what Jesus said.

I guess that's the clubs name for prostitute.

I just can't not respect someone willing to go through that for her family.
So only for self survival? What about if she has small kids to feed? Well, she was actually enabling her other able family members to be lazy.

I never said prostitution was good. Never said there wasn't any better way. All I wrote was that I respect that they have a job.

She needs to tell them to get a JOB.

I would respect an ex prostitute with no job and on welfare and food stamps much more. Besides, you wanted to know what Jesus said to prostitutes, so I thought I'd tell you.

It's actually an interesting episode. Many people think you have to turn away from your sins in order to be saved. This occurrence demonstrates just the opposite. This poor woman was saved FIRST then turned from her sins.

What does Hitler got to do with someone selling their self to live?

I guess the Adolf Hitler argument wins.
You completely missed my argument, it wasnt "prostitution = genocide", it was that you can love and have compassion for someone, while not showing respect for what they do.
I have a friend who steals. I love him, but I dont respect the fact that he steals. Telling someone that they are loving because they respect all that someone does is not a good deed.

No offense but you cannot possibly be this dumb. You're an ex-cop, aren't you? Drug dealers kill to get their drugs,and many times the drugs they sell kills the people who take them and get hooked on them. And you ask what makes dealers so bad? SERIOUSLY?


There are some hopeless people out here that don't know the same society you know. I understand and I still respect them for doing what they must.

As far as drug dealers, what makes them bad, other than violating the law? One change in legislation would make them entrepreneurs.

So in other words, you respect people that get others hooked on drugs that end up ruining and ending lives?You respect the sin that they commit on themselves and others? What if they're forced into it and don't want to be doing it? What they need to do to live, is go to Jesus. Not get some kid shot up with drugs, or have some girl spread her legs for every stranger from 100 miles away.

Both of these "lifestyles" destroy lives and spread disease. How can you possibly respect that? Sorry Tommy, but you're serving satan by respecting what drug dealers and hookers do with their lives, and the lives of those they come in contact with.


Drugs are bad, so is prostitution. I still respect them doing what they feel like they must to live.

Hi Silverwings., I have to say this. The amount of "fake news" I've discovered to be just about everywhere has me on alert to not believe what is reported. Even though it seems to be from a reputable source. My first reaction to something like this is I don't believe it at all. Someone would have to prove it with a whole lot of irrefutable facts and sources. Sounds like major propaganda from those who hate Israel.

Then go for it. Because every wiki article has footnotes to do that kind of research with. Simply telling someone else to prove it for you, doesn't work. Want the proof? Seek it.

I haven't retired yet, 12 more years, but these are the people I deal with, and I know their motivation for what they do.

The state sells alcohol that gets users hooked and kills them, it's all a matter of legislation from where I see.
