Comedian Margaret Cho: 'Sex Workers Are Glorified in the Bible!'
« on: November 03, 2015, 06:43:21 am »
Interesting theology that.

"Comedian and actress Margaret Cho has reveal that she once worked as a prostitute. Cho sent a series of tweets making the admission and supporting people she calls "sex workers." "I support sex workers because I was one and I know that it's a job that's needlessly shunned by society when frankly we should be worshipped," Cho tweeted. Cho also defending the job using an example from the Bible:"Sex workers are gloried in the Bible! Mary Magdalene was a whore and Jesus loved her!"

Meh. Forcible involuntary removal of Philistine foreskins is also in the Bible and glorified. Doesn't make it a good idea.

Still, she was a sex worker. What's she want, a cookie? Her business, not mine.

I don't think that when Jesus said, "Go and sin no more" that he was 'glorifying' the sin.  He also loved the hated tax-collectors, and didn't exactly 'glorify' theft and corruption.

The sad thing is that there will be people who agree with this.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Sadly you can count on it!

Jesus loves everyone, not just prostitutes. He loves murderers, drunkards and thieves, too. That's why he died for them. But he never, ever, approved of what they were doing.

 This woman is really messed up, poor thing.

Mary Magdalene was not a sex worker. She had demons cast out of her. That canard was invented by a Catholic pope seven centuries after the Bible was written.

Those who were REPENTANT sexual sinners were forgiven, but their sins were not glorified. In fact, most were never heard from again.

Yes she is! 

I'm quite certain that Jesus repeatedly told us to love the sinner and hate the sin.
