I agree. Why should prostitution be illegal?
All of the above is true,The stage is being set for the final confrontation.
Genesis 6
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Matthew 24
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Isaiah 5
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23 Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!
It's coming...
@Job
I just want to make sure that from my posts you don't think I approve of the practice. Some may -- I can't help it. I tried to be clear.
I agree. Why should prostitution be illegal?
Can I force everyone to follow my moral beliefs?
No.
Moral laws cannot be enforced.
It has to be a CHOICE to be moral.
There's currently a law, right?
Why isn't it working?
I'd prefer that this activity be confined to a bldg instead of seeing it openly in the street.
The problem you bring up is a very serious problem.such things are the way of man since who knows when. the thing is it will not stop, therefore how is it managed by a society? Germany for example back in the 70's and probably still to day require certain health standards and age standards and off the streets, card carrying permits. I'm sure there's more to that but that all in know about it. thing is the only place where one would see things like adult stores and the like is were Americans frequent. otherwise you'd have to look hard for such. or there were places set aside for such.
thing is Americans don't seem to manage such very well. Vegas is a place were such is legal but if you are walking down the boulevard there's Mexicans handing out cards for such (you know, hay meester to you want my seester cards). sucks if you ask me. granted Vegas is what it is, but that's not the way to handle it. one doesn't have to have it shoved in one's face.
which also shows that the law doesn't have its boot on the neck of the industry like it should. those jerkoffs could be and are most likely peddling sex slaves.
How do you come to this conclusion?It is the very nature of law to enforce that which people are prone to abuse and break. Moral laws can be enforced just as all laws can be enforced. Just because people still murder, though there are plenty of laws against it, doesn't mean you make it legal.

How do you come to this conclusion?
Murder involves another person.
So maybe we should crack down on smokers,
liquor, soft drugs.
I mean, liquor kills people every year with traffic accidents.
So how come we're still drinking liquor?
Did Prohibition work?
Prostitution is illegal now.
So how come it still exists?
And where I have to be exposed to it...
I thought you always told me that the law does NOT serve and that we are NOT under the law...(Gal. 3:19) "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions...."
Stranger
I thought you always told me that the law does NOT serve and that we are NOT under the law...
Have you changed your mind?
Why not?Of course not. I had stated the purpose of law. You asked where did I come up with that. (Gal. 3:19) is where I come up with that. Before the law comes, there is the wrong transgressions against God, which is why God gave the Law.
I have not changed in any way. Because of transgressions the Mosaic Law is given. After Christ and faith in Christ we are no longer under the law. (Gal. 3:25)
Do not confuse my place and accountability to God with my accountability to the laws of the nation where I live.
Stranger
Why not?
If you follow the laws of the land,
why would you not follow the laws of God???
Isn't God greater than our country?
If you want to live in the U.S. you must follow its laws,
If you want to live in the Kingdom of God you must follow its laws.
Same idea
As usual, anything could be used for good or evil.I've said this before. The United States is the whorehouse of the world. The freedoms allotted here allows the devil to construct some of the most alluring stumbling blocks known to man.
You mean like speech....in a movie for instance.
Learning....things taught in school which do more harm than good.
Etc...
