What if the Lord has saved a woman who used to be an escort, and he cleaned her up and now she is a Christian woman who loves the Lord and follows hard on Him. Could a Chrisitan man ever see that she is a brand new creature? Just wondering. Thanks.

Considering I once almost dated a woman who had slept around and got pregnant and had this beautiful little girl.....

and Considering the Prophet Hosea married a woman who was to become unfaithful... Gomer to be a type of Israel.... to show God's love for the nation.....

also Considering we are all sinners who are changed by the Grace of God into something more than we were......


If she has truly repented and is truly saved.... then yes.... God does not hold her guilty of her sins anymore, but sees her though the blood of Christ which covers her......

Then why should I or any man, mere humans judge such a one and say "No, your unworthy of knowing love because of your past" we when all have sinned in different ways ourselves?

to answer your question more simply: Yes, if He loved her, and wanted to foster that deeper relationship... but it would have to be an honorable relationship with honorable intentions and boundaries clearly set....

would I personally? If She were the one to break me from being single and be worth dating.... yes

I think that sometimes it is easy for us to say yes, because Jesus himself saved prostitutes so in our phycie we can say yes, but in our flesh its like.... uh... you still have reserves. But for all you know this woman could be a God fearing woman who is pure now, spotless, and the man could have the problem with impurity.

That's a tough one. I would love to say yes, but it would be a really hard thing to do when it came to our marriage night. These kind of things don't really hit you until the relationship moves to that level, and then all sorts of nuances come up. Not just with marriage and the honeymoon, but each time you want to do something new, or special and you realise that ground has already been trodden by someone else. I imagine it would be hard not to be jealous or hurt in that kind of situation.

However saying that, sex is great, yet doesn't single-handedly make a great marriage. There is a lot of satisfaction and a great feeling of closeness in becoming involved with someone, and becoming their special person, their trusted friend and love. I imagine where one aspect of a relationship struggles, it can be reinforced in other areas. Maybe with time and patience those old bonds to past one-night partners can be broken, and a new stronger one can be forged between you.

I can't say as I would succeed at the task with any certainty, and I would have to really think hard before giving it a shot and entering that persons life, otherwise I could end up doing more damage.

:) There are still Godly men.

Today's world as I see it, it saddens me. The purest intention can still be the object of judgement. I believe if God has a man for you, he will not have problems about one's past.

Maybe. Though I'm not looking to date an ex-prostitute, I wouldn't categorically rule it out. It really depends on the woman in question, the reasons why she became a prostitute etc. If we're otherwise compatible, then it wouldn't necessarily be a deal-breaker.

On a spiritual level, assuming it is truly in her past, if God remembers sins no more, what right do I have to remember them? On a physical level, I'd be cautious (wondering about std's, etc). Like others have said, I don't honestly want to go out and find a former prostitute to date, but love happens randomly sometimes and if I were to fall in love with a girl with a past like that, I think I could overcome whatever hurdles my mind presents to me. So yes i wouldn't rule it out.

First of all, I want to say God bless you for delivering you from that lifestyle (I read your testimony). You are a different person, a new creation.

You know what? According to the Bible, anyone who has had sex outside of marriage would be considered a ho/harlot/prostitute/insertwhateverwordyoulike. I think it's easy for us to be self-righteous and qualify our sins, when all of our works are like filthy rags before God.


Now, I have to be honest, *I* would have a hard time envisioning myself with a former prostitute, and the same goes for a former homosexual (especially a former homosexual). But, if God placed enough love in my heart to love this person, I'm sure it is possible. The person would have to prove that he had been walking with the Lord consistently for a SIGNIFICANT period of time after his transformation. I wouldn't date a baby Christian. The same goes for a former fornicator. They would have to show that their life has produced fruit.

By the way, your daughter is ADORABLE! :blush:

Some would. I personally would not, since I'm a virgin and all that would be weird. It's not the forgiven sin that bothers me. I don't care about that. It's the baggage and other effects of the sin that affect her today which would in turn affect me. I'm not too sure someone with a past like that would be that interested in a male virgin anyway, so it sounds like win-win.
