Family Values:Unapologetic As Model For Swimwear and Lingerie

Excerpts from MSNBC:

"With partially nude photos of her popping up on Web sites questioning her Christian credentials, Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has fired back, claiming the racy pictures are just modeling shots and vowing to continue her battle against same-sex marriage.

I am a Christian, and I am a model,” Prejean said in a statement released overnight to the media. “Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”


Actually its Prejean that unapologetically is mocking Christ Jesus and HIS Word.

She cannot justify her job by mouthing "I'm not perfect" because no one is. However, God demands purity in HIS people and in HIS church. If we were to wait until we were perfect, no one would obey the Master.

She is no spokesperson for Christ nor HIS people, much less Christian women. So far, its been all about her and her rights.

She's not married, but is now a "protector of traditional marriage".
She's not chaste, but revels in her revealing swimsuits and lingere.
She's a feminist, but cries "martyr".
She's a "Christian", but hasn't proclaimed the clear Gospel of Jesus Christ.

So how is she bold?

I'll say it again: she has an opinion on marriage, but she dresses in a way that would destroy it. Where's the family values here?

Ingrid Schlueter makes some good points:

Regarding Prejean's nude and lingerie photos:

Pro-family groups are now on the horns of a dilemma. How do you backpeddle on this when you have Prejean’s face on your Values Voter event as a speaker? It is certainly awkward. Miss Prejean defends it because she is a model. Yes, but a model for our daughters to follow? Us Magazine additionally is featuring a photograph of Carrie at a New York nightclub, partying with a transsexual.

Embedded here [video] is the response of thousands of Liberty University chapel students to her triumphal appearance there last week. Note the wolf whistles and cheers when she references her swimsuit competition. This, at the place where the “Moral Majority” was founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell. Even the faculty member on stage references the fact that mostly males in the audience watched the live Miss USA feed. What an unspeakable shame this is on the name of Jesus Christ and the Gospel. Lust is now considered funny and cute by conservative Christians. Are you getting a picture of how bad things are in the evangelical church? The hidden lust and sin are now shamelessly, unblushingly open, and God sees it.
