Can A Christian Sister Or Brother Become A Model? by HumbledbYGrace(f): 7:34pm On Oct 15, 2012
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I mean born again Christians.

Is it ok for a sister or brother to become a model?

Modelling is a job. Where people “work” for pay. There are different types of modelling and there are different types of models. I’m sure your pastor won’t frown on you modelling Coca-Cola or modelling a new Toyota Car or say being the new face of Etisalat!

There's nothing wrong with a born again christian going into modeling, provided you stick to the job and remove your mind from the temptations attached to it.

Interesting dilemma! A beautiful Christian would-be model was dropped by model scouts on DSTV's reality programme, 'Scouted' because she gave too many conditionalities like "no underwear modelling" or "no too revealing clothes." It's possible but he/she should be prepared to be turned down or to turn down many lucrative but faith compromising deals especially if targetting the international scene.

. . . . . . . . . Yes he or she can model, i'm a living testimony, I am a model and a born again christian, and av been modelling for years now (before entering d university and till i graduated and served my father's land) now, i'm more into it on a part-time basis. To God b d glory, I av done series of calendar jobs, posters ad, News paper & Tv ad, Fashion Shows et al, But there are some jobs i cant do, even as a guy. So to ur question : he / she can model, but it is not all the jobs that comes ur way you will do. There is nothin wrong in modellin for a Soft Drink Company, a Telecomm/Mobile Phone Company , An Eatery, An Airline Company isn't It? But u can stay away from d ones the Fed Govt always advise u that its dangerous to ur health or stay away from Any job that require you to reveal some parts of ur body. So it's all about who you are as a person. Goodluck and dont deviate when you get there cos there are many distractions in there just like any job in the Entertainent Industry Generally. Cheers!!!

What was your question again!
Can a christain take a modelling job?
Modelling job is a career job, well paid don't forget. Honestly it is not the job you do but how you do it is what really matter.
Being a christain couldn't be a barrier to modelling, it is different from prostitution....that is if you do it with a strict professionalism,
not trying to get connected to all the big guys behind those big contracts....if you are good, your skills and talent will pronounce your success,
then you wouldn't need to give your body in exchange for success. I see the reason why most people would say that it is not a good road for a christain
it is because of the culture in the industry. That does not suggest that every woman and man in the business are promiscuously active.

Whichever school of thought you belong, be you a creationist or evolutionist.....it is believed that nothing is new and that the first people are models by nature. They designed their dresses with most of their body outside to appreciate the real nature.

We have rights to all things but not all things are expedient unto us- so says Paul. There are rules to every game and you better play by them or quit- period: modelling as a job isnt bad in itself but being a christian might be led to compromise on certain things which is highly inevitable so why not stay out and have your peace of mind. Let the dead bury their dead- says Christ. Note, the moment your conscience judges you on something, you are already condemned. If you think you can go through that career without a trace of guilt, then just have at it, if not, get out or seek councelling from a trusted spiritual leader.

Been thinkin about it too for awhile. I actually considered d beauty pageant. i remembered Esther in d Bible. She didnt compromise her faith and standards. Esther 2.15. Wen it was her turn to go in, she didnt ask for more than d neccessary things, and God favored her. It was her destiny to win.
if she could do it, am sure believers, wit d right motives, can too

I like both testimonies. Many of the so called Christians will keep their faith aside and get the money with the plan of praying for forgiveness. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Romans 6:1 KJV)
