First of all, I went on there to check facebook marketplace for a couple items I'm trying to purchase, not to browse through the stuff people post.
Brother, social media is the worst, and im convinced it is or has already destroyed a generation. Some of the worst human qualities are shown there. Greed, narcissism, idolatry, pride, covetousness, gossip, slander, materialism etc.. Even if people have an account and justify it to be used for sharing photos or staying connected with family, there are other less damaging ways of doing this in todays world. There's text, phone, email, WhatsApp, google drive, you name it countless other forums for sharing videos and photos.
What was more disturbing is that it was from a Christian woman that goes to a good church that I know.
Unfortunately, just because a person has some of the tendencies of a Christian, like going to a church or praying, that doesn't necessarily mean that they truly are. This should be expected though, as our Lord told us so in a number of parables but one that comes to mind is in Matthew 13, the tares sown among wheat.
Typically, a person who has saving faith in Christ will exhibit certain characteristics, namely, that of bearing good fruit as the Lord says in Matthew 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits." that good fruit can be in a behavioral way as in Galatians 5:22
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Is there anything about this church-going lady posting a nude photo of a woman as "goodness" or "self-control"? I would wager, not! Not to say that we are without sin and that we perfectly follow a righteous lifestyle, (although we are called to) but for goodness sakes, please don't get a social media account and spray nudity everywhere for others to see and lust over.
honestly brother (I assume you are Christian from your username and sig), some of the best and worst people are at churches. But what makes it so dangerous and what leads to being hurt all the more by these folks is the claim to be standing on Jesus and the Word, but the actions do not match up. You in essence, don't know what you are getting with these folks. In the world you know exactly what to expect. But in the church, you have no idea if you are getting righteousness, or hypocrisy until often, it is too late. Bless you brother, and thanks for the encouragement in your name:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage

. I should probably do something like that too...
