"Paul made it perfectly clear, (see my quote from Scripture above) that you, as a Christian are NOT to have fellowship (eating, etc) with unGodly people."

Ya, good thing Jesus didn't associate with tax collectors and prostitutes.

He didn't tell that prostitution was fine. He exhorted sinful people (i.e. all people) to change their ways, surrender to God's will which means doing His will, not ours.

Remember Jesus kicked over tables and used a whip on some people who were desecrating the temple? You think Jesus came to tell everyone "There, there. Keep on doing whatever you're doing, it's all fine"?

Jesus separated Himself from them, after ministering to the sinners. He also required His followers to separate themselves from the masses.

His message was "take up your cross, and follow me"...

If you were familiar with scripture, you would know that when the scribes pressed him on this he said that the healthy do not need doctors. The sick do. Jesus didn't eat with tax collectors and prostitutes to affirm their "lifestyle". He offered them repentance and a way out. Two deviants living together for 22 years are not in the least interested in repentance or a way out.
