"If Jesus were walking the earth today, we think that He'd be here, too," Gross told the Los Angeles Times. "After all, [He] hung out with prostitutes and stuff."

Jesus most definitely WOULD NOT be there. He didn't "hang out" with prostitutes, he MINISTERED to them.

What happened to "do not set any evil thing before thine eyes"? Jesus tells us to avoid temptation and to not dine with (read "hang out with") adulterers, murderers,... or the sexually immoral.

I understand what these guys say they're trying to do, but they could have set up outside the convention (orgy) and not involved themselves at the level they did. They crossed the line.

Didn't Christ go and eat with the tax collectors? If they had set up outside, then they would have been off the property and away from the people (the convention center wouldn't have let them set up right outside the door). By going inside, they were able to talk to people who otherwise might not have seen them.

I assume that you are referring to this passage:

1 Cor.5:9 ¶ I wrote to you in my epistle not to associate with immoral people: 10 Yet not altogether with immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then ye must needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a person no not to eat.

The prohibition is against eating with someone who calls himself a brother (a Christian), not with unbelievers, because that would mean we could not minister to them and persuade them to come to Christ. I believe that it is quite possible that God has directed these men into this ministry.

This group misrepresents themselves as porn junkies to try to lure real porn junkies to their site. Their purpose is actually not to hang out with the porn stars, but to MINISTER to them.

Jan 9-13 Mike and Craig will be at the Adult-Expo in Las Vegas. This is the annual porn show that shows all the new stuff going on in the adult entertainment industry. All kinds of porn sites will be there as well as everything else under the sun. And we mean everything else under the sun. There will be tens of thousands of people attending the show and media from all over the country will be there covering it. Xxxchurch will have a booth giving away balloons that read “the #1 christian porn site" and have "Rex the Rabbit" handing out xxxchurch promotional materials. We will have the opportunity to talk to thousands of people in the industry and to show the love of Christ.
We want to stress that we are not going to the show to protest or to judge the folks attending the expo. We will not be waving signs or picketing. That’s not our gig. We will simply be representing our ministry in a professional and respectable manner and be a part of the show. We feel that it is incredibly important to handle this ministry with integrity and not to go down the easy road of protest and finger pointing. We are about solutions, not problems.
By the way, accompanying us will be our wives and pastors to make sure that we are not checking out the other booths. (you know what we mean) We covet your prayers as we attend this show.

I think you fell for their deception, but that's what they want. They want regular, straightlaced Christians to be mad at them, so young people will think they have credibility.
