“Cameron Bay” got a shout-out this week from the Almighty. He reminded the 28-year-old porn actress that His Word does not return void. That, truly, “the wages of sin is death.”
Miss Bay confirmed this past Wednesday that she was tested for HIV and found positive. She said yesterday she’s “still coming to terms” with her test result.
Well, here are the terms: When you sell your body (and soul) to the devil, as the porn actress did, you have hell to pay. And not only in this life, cursed with a preventable, incurable disease, but also in the afterlife, where you have condemned yourself to eternal separation from God.
Miss Bay’s positive HIV test should be a warning to other young women caught up in the so-called “adult entertainment” industry: Get out before it’s too late. Seek help from a faith-based organization, like the Pink Cross Foundation..
Founded five years ago by Shelley Lubben, a former porn actress, a born-again Christian, Pink Cross stands in the gap by offering support to tortured souls trying to free themselves from the porn business.
Among other loving kindnesses, Pink Cross sends recovering “adult entertainers” care packages with gift cards for local grocery and department stores, as well as Bibles, Christian literature, praise and worship music, and other items to help them to get through what they’re going through.
Not surprisingly, Shelley has found herself under attack by Satan’s imps, who control the porn business, who exploit young women like Miss Bay until they are all used up.
Indeed, in 2011, Shelley was the subject of a hateful “documentary,” which was perversely titled “The Devil and Shelley Lubben,” and which was produced by porn industry hack Michael Whiteacre, who has disparaged the Pink Cross founder as “a diseased animal.”
Whiteacre is a particularly vocal member of the disingenuously-named Free Speech Foundation, the porn industry trade association, which announced this past Wednesday that adult film sets would shut down temporarily as the industry seeks to contain the fallout from Miss Bay’s positive HIV test.
The Free Speech Foundation’s duplicity is evidenced by its continued protest, rather than acceptance, of last week’s federal district court ruling upholding a recently-enacted Los Angeles law requiring that porn actors use condoms while performing their on screen sex acts.
The porn industry trade association asserts that porn actors have a constitutional right – no kidding – to forgo condoms, no matter the risk of having unprotected sex with so many partners (as the gay community discovered during the height of the AIDS crisis).
Clearly, the porn industry couldn’t care less about the health and well-being of its actresses and actors. That is, so long as their dangerous sex does not cause an HIV epidemic that leads to a moratorium on adult film production, costing porn companies their lucre.
I pray Cameron Bay contacts Pink Cross. Or that the faith-based group reaches out to the involuntarily-retired porn actress. Because Shelley Lubben has Good News to share with Miss Bay:
The porn actress need not live in shame for contracting HIV. She need not live in regret for the poor decisions she has made in her young life. She can enjoy the peace of God that passes all understanding.
All she has to do is give her life to Christ. For the Word promises there is “no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
It’s God curse upon the wicked Sodomy & Gonorrhoea lifestyle of the Godless. They don’t have to be in porn to be cursed as such.
There's a huge cost to watching porn, and it has nothing at all to do with HIV.
Yep, its the soul
Remember the curse is not on people it is on the lifestyle and the behavior and the spirit of those who get into it and stuff
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
In a different life, I routinely watched porn, thinking nothing of it. But I no longer see through a glass drakly. I recognize that those of us who watch porn support an industry that defiles young women. If we count ourselves Christ followers we should desist.
Watching porn destroys one’s soul. Porn is all about lust, not love! Lust and love are most certainly NOT the same thing. Porn destroys families, children and parents. It destroys love and trust within the family, hardening hearts and singeing souls, potentially trapping porn watchers in the depth of sin and cutting them off from God, ultimately the Deciever’s objective.
God created sex as an amazingly pleasurable act between MARRIED COUPLES, where LOVE is the motivation. Sex outside of marriage (be it physical adultery or watching porn) slowly, though sometimes quickly, sears and destroys one’s soul. Please, research the phrase ‘soul tie’. Also, check out some of the ‘Links’ to sermons on my profile page.
A + B = C.
Attitude + Behavior = Consequence
I don't know if I go so far to say that a particular disease is God's judgment upon the porn industry, or anyone in particular for that matter.
What I would say is that the effects of sin is the consequence of their attitudes against a holy and just God, just as sin is in the lives of each and every one of us.
Sin is all around us. It's the consequence of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. It permeates our very existence. The entire world feels the effects of it. Even if this young lady comes to grip with the magnitude of what she has done and how her attitude and behavior have resulted in her acquiring this dreadful disease, she will still have to deal with the consequences.
I hope my point has not been lost on anyone. We all have to be mindful of that formula and never forget it's lesson. Bad attitude and/or bad behavior will result in bad consequences, but good attitude AND behavior will result in good consequences.
But until we get to glory, let's not say that a particular disease is "God's judgment" upon the porn industry until we hear it from God Almighty Himself.
“In a different life, I routinely watched porn, thinking nothing of it. “
Me too, back when the internet was new. Now, I just find it pedantic, repetitive and boring. A real waste of time.
Romans 3:23 - Thanking God that I haven’t received what I deserve.
I disagree with the notion that HIV is God’s curse upon the Porn Industry. If an innocent child is diagnosed with cancer, is that God’s curse as well?
Unless she repents, goes to Confession, and amends her ways, thus forgiven by God.
Words of absolution said by the priest:
 |
1449 The formula of absolution used in the Latin Church expresses the essential elements of this sacrament: the Father of mercies is the source of all forgiveness. He effects the reconciliation of sinners through the Passover of his Son and the gift of his Spirit, through the prayer and ministry of the Church:

I could've sworn that Louis Ferrakhan claimed that the CIA developed it to kill blacks. Now it only strikes porn stars, hmmm.
There are most certainly consequences from lifestyle choices, but doing porn DOES NOT condemn one to hell.
Rejecting the saving grace of Jesus Christ condemns one to hell.
This young woman might still come to know and trust in Jesus and the angels will rejoice the same as they do anyone else.
The CIA also invented crack to kill-off the blacks, too, didn’t they?
According to Calypso Louie, she probably should sue the CIA.
“Romans 3:23 - Thanking God that I haven’t received what I deserve.”
I do that damn near every day.
I do not assign credit or blame for disease to God. Saying that it is within God is one thing, asserting that he rewards or punishes with it is something else indeed.
It is called Vanity. Taking on oneself the authority to define God. It is the greatest of sins.
God did not create HIV. And He rarely uses disease to punish the sinful (which includes all of us). But when a community shakes its fist at the Almighty, like the porn community, He very well may use disease (or pestilence)to punish the defiant sinners.
