As a Christian, I have to stop you from spoouting anymore of you holier than thou drivel. Just stop. You dont baptize people by holding their heads underwater until they agree with your veiw of the Bible. . Love the sinner, hate the sin. Pray for them. God chose you and he choses who he wants for himself. Bashing everyone else is not whats needed here.

Sounds an awful lot like those who say, “Prophecy smooth things.”
People in this forum defend prostitution. Speaking out against it is not being “holier than thou”. But it is ironic that you preach “love the sinner” and “pray for them” and accuse me FALSELY of “bashing” people. My comments were not directed toward any one particular person. But YOUR comments ARE directed at one person: ME.
So, how about if you take your own advice and love me the sinner, and don’t spout “holier than thou” comments toward me? How about if you pray for me, the sinner rather than proceeding to do what you think you’ve done, i.e. “stop me”?
There are people on this forum who defend prostitution because THEY pay for sex. How do I know this? I don’t know it from firsthand knowledge about any particular person here. But I do know human nature. And there are people here who are not just upset over heavy-handed police tactics. They actually think prostitution should be legal. And I also know that people who get up in arms about it have some vested interest in protecting it.
What they should be saying is, thank God I have not been caught doing this. Thank God, I don’t have an arrest record for something that the law and God’s word condemns. Please have mercy on me God and show me the way out of my addiction so I can treat women with the kindness and compassion of Christ rather than using them.
But, no, they argue they are not wrong. As Jesus said, “You say you see, so your sin remains.” See John 9:41. I don’t decide who God forgives or who He does not forgive. I am no better than anyone else. I am totally depending on God’s mercy and grace. But pretending that sin is ok is an insult to God’s grace, mercy, and compassion. It is treating the gift of His Son as worthless, whenever someone knows God gave His Son and says, “I will do whatever I want anyway.”
Our society is collapsing. People need to be warned. Some will heed and some will not. You would be wise to consider the truth of what I’ve said rather than focusing on how it makes you or others feel bad. It is not unloving to warn those headed for destruction to turn from it. It is unloving to pretend that God is some lovey-dovey cosmic sugar daddy who never judges anybody. God has already revealed right and wrong through our consciences, through nature, and through His word. Those who reject these witnesses will take the consequences of doing so.
God would not have poured out His wrath on His Son in order to spare us from judgment if sins such as prostitution were no big deal. Jesus died for this sin also. He did not do this so we could continue sinning.
