Re: OT question

Sorry, there certainly is! People who do not follow the rules of their religion, whatever it may be, certainly cannot call themselves a member of it (well they can but they are not going to engender belief in their values or beliefs by doing so).

If you have certain beliefs, there are some jobs you simply can't be in. If your religion believes drinking is a sin, you certainly can't go get a job serving it. The Bible clearly teaches certain things - sexual purity - a Christian woman cannot go dance naked on a pole in a bar, the intent of which is obviously not to inspire "pure" thoughts and call themselves a Christian with a straight face.

You clearly weren't taught the way I was then. PEople always try to bring up the "judging others" issue when the actions are clearly in violation of scripture. It's one thing to lose one's temper and control momentarily, quite another to plan ahead and profit from something. If I say I'm a Christian woman, I won't be in bed doing love scenes naked with another man. Don't tell me I'm not going to feel anything real (physical) if I'm making out with Antonio Banderas!



My point was that it's not my job to sit here and judge the Christianity of actors, complete strangers to me. Those who subscribe to the idea that it is in fact their job to point out the missteps of their fellow Christians certainly couldn't put actors they will never meet into that category, either. There's just no scriptural way to justify sitting around saying this person or that person can't possibly be a Christian because they do (a) or (b), particularly if you want to be as literal with the scripture as you seem to be saying.
