Is the soul of a person ignorant of God&#8217;s law any less valuable to God? Who are you to judge who&#8217;s ensnaring who?&#8221; Your questions take on a different look if you agree that the topic being taught against is a sin.<\/p>\n<p>You were looking at the questions from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/growingupboys.info\/book\/\">a book for boys about sexual issues<\/a>. The questions are to drive home the message from the Scriptures that it is wrong for a boy to use the services of a prostitute. It was not written for a person engaging in selling their body for sexual acts. If you would like to see things from a woman&#8217;s point of view, you can look at the girl&#8217;s class book on the topic of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/growingupgirls.info\/immoral-sex\/\">Prostitutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the soul of a person is not valuable to you if you allow a person to sin without warning them that they are in sin. &#8220;<em>When I say to the wicked, &#8216;You shall surely die,&#8217; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand<\/em>&#8221; (Ezekiel 3:18). You seem to prefer to pretend that a person is not in danger. I prefer to keep people out of sin.<\/p>\n<p>So one last question: Who are you to judge a preacher about doing his job? &#8220;<em>Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you<\/em>&#8221; (Titus 2:15).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Why are\u00a0these questions to ask oneself regarding prostitutes so one-sided?
