Highlights
Andressa Urach introduces herself as a businesswoman, model, adult content creator, and 'Barbie of many professions'. She states that she believes God made her a sex worker to spread His word. Pedro Pocio, a theologian, counters this by saying that the Christian God condemns prostitution, a lacie, and impurity, going against Urach's defense. Urach clarifies that her profession doesn't mean she is not saved, citing Romans 5:20, "where sin abounded, grace abounded much more," and Mark 2:17, "Jesus said He came for the sick, not for the healthy."
Gabriel Piauí argues that God made humans in His image, and Urach's choices move her away from this. He emphasizes that repentance is essential for salvation. Bruna Valarde, a Catholic lawyer, distinguishes between mortal and venial sins, stating that prostitution is a mortal sin if one persists in it. Urach claims she repents daily and that Jesus' grace has already saved her, regardless of her choices. She also questions the notion that others' sins are less severe than hers, emphasizing that 'grace' justifies her actions.
Urach asserts that 'bordellos are purer than many churches,' claiming to have witnessed more authentic faith among sex workers than in some religious institutions. She shares her negative experiences with corrupt churches, stating that some exploit faith for financial gain (CNPJ churches). Eduardo Carneiro, a Christian, explains that he believes true Christians do not come to judge, but to condemn sins, hoping for repentance. Urach challenges the Christians' judgmental attitudes, arguing they alienate people from Jesus.
The debate continues with Urach emphasizing that salvation is by grace through faith, not by works or adherence to religious law (Ephesians 2:8-9, Mark 16:16). She argues that many religious people preach a harsh, judgmental version of God, pushing people away. Urach insists that her relationship with Jesus is personal and doesn't require church attendance or conformity to religious rules. She challenges the notion of losing salvation due to sin, stating that 'grace was given, and God is not a man to lie or take away presents.'
Urach shares her past experiences with poverty, abuse, and mental health issues, explaining that her path, though unconventional, is part of her testimony. She highlights her book 'Morri para Viver' (Died to Live) as evidence of God's work in her life. She clarifies that while she views her work as a means of survival, she acknowledges it as a sin but believes in daily repentance and God's unwavering grace. The debate concludes with Urach urging everyone to simply believe in Jesus for salvation, regardless of their background or past sins, as 'Jesus is your lawyer.'
