Is it normal that im a christian that works as a stripper?

if the job worries you change it, others work and get by doing other things

I used to work at a law firm and one of the paralegals was a stripper (it was a secret). People do what they have to do to survive. But if it is eating away at you, then you need an exit plan.

There's nothing wrong with what you are doing. Your a dancer, prostitution is another story which I know alot of dancers do. Are you taking money for sex?

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

Hope this helps:)
Jesus loves you!

If it puts a roof over your head and food on the table, I guess it's not such a bad thing.

I'm going to save money and get out. Its hard because I have rent , car payment etc... I've been looking for a job but in this economy its pretty tough. But I can't keep doing it because I feel guilty. I lie to my family and friends they think I work at a law firm. Its been pretty tough. I feel like I can't even pray I feel like such a hypercrit..

Talk to your church, you DONT have to admit to them (i wouldnt, too condeming) what you are doing, but ask for help in how to support your self, not the money, just the ideas.

You could try working your faith into your dances. like come out like a nun or bring a bible and cross on stage with you.

Solution, become an atheist.

Definitely not normal. but remember God loves you and all your sins were future when Christ died for you. We all continue to sin until we see Jesus face to face, but I urge you to get out of this business. It hurts you and it hurts the men that watch you even more than you can imagine (I know, I is one!!)
What drives you to do this other than money? Make sure you are secure in the love of Jesus. Go to Goodwill and find out what they offer to help you find a good job. There are lots of resources out there - I know, I was out of work for a while.
Remember that no matter what you do, Jesus will not love you any less.

I'm presuming you're American, and since most Americans are Christians, I wouldn't be surprised if most Exotic Dancers in America are Christians.

Bettie Paige did bondage modeling and even nude modeling, and despite going on to partake in Billy Graham Crusades, Paige said she never had any qualms about the pictures she posed in.

People do lots of things they are not proud of for money and needs, but that does not stop them from making plans to move on and improve their situation. Save your money and break out one day!

Normal.

Try prostitution instead. You can make heaps more money and retire much sooner. Most hookers own their own home and much more before they hit 30.
If your dancing you must have a hot Bod.
God gave you that bod to make people happy.
Orgasims are the closest thing on earth to heaven.
Help as many people as you can experience heaven on Earth! :)

Without money you can't buy food, without food you can't live, without a life you can't praise God, just keep your faith strong and at the end of the day all your sins will be forgiven.

I heard Jesus never wore clothes.

But...
If it's your only choice, what can you do? You need money to eat. Is your god going to hand you over some bread and fish? I don't think so.
Try to find another job if you are not comfortable with that one.

I see every time you say this stuff people shoot out a verse “ you Body is holy temple “ and you should stop.
I am here saying this freely and I like the fact I can say whatever is on my mind .
But I could be wrong too. However, I believe that we are sinners regardless, that’s why Jesus died for us to save us so we can go to heaven.
You can stop dancing but then if you master bate is also a sin, make out and sex before marriage is a sin, Jealosy is a sin, and rage is a sin . Lying is a sin .
Just because you don’t dance doesn’t mean you will stop sinning.
All sin is the same in God eye.You can not work yourself to heaven so that’s why Jesus died for us so we can but just need to believe. I believe you can still establish relationship with God and Jesus in a personal level . As long as you feel safe and you feel comfortable. If you don’t feel either then it isn’t the place for you.
I dance too. I always ask myself this question but I think it’s ok to dance because I feel very safe and comfortable. I don’t have to or need to do anything I don’t want to. I also believe you won’t dance forever, so save up. Then quit is when you tired of it. I know God always have a plan . He knows you. Perhaps dancing is just a stepping stone for something greater later on .

Everyone sins, and yours is no more than anyone elses, all sins are equal in the eyes of God. He is not going to think any less of you for stripping than he would if you told a minor lie to someone.
One of my teachers liked to keep a poster in her room that she'd point to when she knew a student was lying (Revelation 21:8)
Revelation 21:7-8 "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Sex sells.

This week we learned Chatholic Church to pay $9.9 Million law suit for priests sexually molesting children.

well i will say that porn makes even more money

but you also have to like what you do. so if your job bothers you, start boning up on your resume and start job hunting.

you can job hunt while you work after all.

I feel for you,I hope the best for you

If youre a stripper why even bother labeling yourself a Christian? What you really are is a JOKE.

At the end of the day you're still alive god hasn't punished you for what you do for a living. That and is business, if you yell the church of course they're going to tell you to stop and that is wrong. Shoot makes them any better than you? A church is a business too!! They're always asking for money, and charge you for their services, what makes them better than you?!? Is not like they're going to pay for your everyday expenses. And yeah is normal.

God made you. You need to pay your bills. Therefore, God is helping you support yourself. BTW, there are worse (and more sinful) ways to make money.

There is no such thing as a personal god. If you're gonna be a stripper might as well be educated. Research your religion
