Arguably this is correct because Jesus had no problem with prostitutes and adulteresses who repented of their sins.

I'm sure, but they did to claim to be virgins.

Arguably the prostitutes and adulterous women did not claim to be virgins.

I’m not trying to put down the women who had relations with men. It’s normal. It’s not something they should be trashed for.

At the same time there has been an order of women who chose to live a life of purity dedicated to God. I think they deserve to be treated as something special for their dedication.

I’m not against the other women serving in some capacity. Perhaps they should have their own special order proclaiming their allegiance to God also.

I’d prefer to think of the two groups as different, vs one being better than the other.

As you state, Jesus does forgive us for things we need forgiven for. In the eyes of God they are as “saved” as anyone else. I’ll grant you that.

I’ll also concede that the virgins are human, and every man/woman has sinned but Jesus.

I also at the end of this must concede that I do not favor people denying themselves a normal life as service to God.

Have a spouse. Have children. Lead a good life doing your best for them and your community, and serve God as well.

Amen! The blessed mercy of our Lord Jesus at work. ❤🕇

Rape and sexual abuse victims also come to mind.

"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." I think God would accept them as "brides of Christ" if they feel drawn to that. For the rest of the naysayers, it was the Pope who said "Who am I to judge". That settles it.

God and the Pope agree so case closed.

Exactly...God's concern is with the heart, not the vagina...
