It sounds to me like you really dont know anybetter and are speaking out of a stereotype you have for "people like that"I (almost) certainly would not be able to do so. I am not saying there's necessarily a good reason not to, or that repentance is not 100%, but the simple truth is that the pandering lifestyle is horribly hard on the human body. There's just no way to live as a prostitute and not pick up at least one, if not more, permanent sexually transmitted diseases. I just don't think I could take that on.
LOL, take it back. You dont want to see any lady taking a mans role. But thats a whooole nother subject.It's people like LittleladyinChrist that I want to hear preaching from the pulpit.
So you want a "good" Christian, who was saved all her life, but doesnt know how?I guess I'll add my two cents.
No, I would not date a Christian woman who while as an unbeliever was a prostitute. Why? Because when a person falls into such things when there is no fear of heavenly judgment, that is a demonstration of her innate person. I would prefer a woman who by nature does the things written in the law, who although without the law was a law to herself, showing it written in her heart, whose conscience bears witness. Romans 2:14-15. All may be wiped clean, but all do not become the same. What happens if she backslides? What happens if she just becomes extremely desperate for cash?

If you had not quoted my post, I would have no clue you were replying to me. I believe you have completely missed the point of what I wrote.I was an atheist til I was 19. I've only been a Christian roughly 4 years. What happens if I backslide? What happens if I feel like God has abandoned me? Should a good Christian girl who was raised in the church (unlike) me avoid dating me because my parents didn't bring me up in the church??? That smells of elitism, I wasn't brought up in the church never went to sunday school, wasn't part of the youth group or went on a mission trip so therefore I'll never be as good as those who have!
You know thats a ridiculous reason.
When I was 13 I mocked the bible. I remember picking it and reading an laughing at it. Its the most painful experience I have. So should a Christian girl who was raised in the church avoid me then? If you ask me my sin of mocking God and denying him for most of my life is a far worse sin then prostitution. A prostitute sins against her body and her future husband (this is true) but I sinned against God, I MOCKED God and his word. Are you sure that your fear of a former prostitute is not a worldly standard applied to her?
I understand that you could have some issues that may cause you not to. But I think you should at least admit that these issues are yours and not hers. I admit I might have a problem, but my problems would be my own ego, jealousy, and fears. Not her sins.
I wouldn't make that an absolute claim. It would depend on a good number of factors -- how long they were in the business, for example.There's just no way to live as a prostitute and not pick up at least one, if not more, permanent sexually transmitted diseases. I just don't think I could take that on.
It's amazing the change that becoming a Christian can have in anyone's life. I don't see any reason why not.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.
I understand what you're saying, but at least from testimonies that I've heard, Christians that come out of a life with a lot of sex, drugs, alcoholism, etc are more likely to return to these sins than a former atheist would to atheism. Many don't, thankfully. And being as this sister has been away from "the life" for 5 years, I'd say the chances are very remote. But I've seen people whose main sins were addictive vices such as sex and substance abuse go back into that lifestyle as young Christians and this backs up the things I've heard about this phenomenon in the pulpit. I wouldn't say this guy's fear is totally unfounded.I was an atheist til I was 19. I've only been a Christian roughly 4 years. What happens if I backslide?

Thank you! This is what I have been trying to explain to others who think his fears are 'illogical'. It isn't. It's based on cold hard reality.I understand what you're saying, but at least from testimonies that I've heard, Christians that come out of a life with a lot of sex, drugs, alcoholism, etc are more likely to return to these sins than a former atheist would to atheism.

Great. So are you saying you would have absolutely no reservations about marrying any of those listed below (assuming they were all females)It's amazing the change that becoming a Christian can have in anyone's life. I don't see any reason why not.
When we repent, we have a clean slate so to speak.

To many people, the things a person has done in the past are important.Great. So are you saying you would have absolutely no reservations about marrying any of those listed below (assuming they were all females)

Pls be brutally honest.
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.
I love the detail put into these.A woman who disguised her email address so she could bypass a dating websites filtering process and thereby get something for nothing, when she is not a paid member (sin is sin, eh?)
With the amazing healings that an ex prostitute would have had, I think it would be a huge task to find a Man strong enough, and Worthy enough to be with her.
