When She Chooses to Live a Godly Life

Far too often, men's supposed Godly life stands in opposition to God's redemption. A prostitute comes to salvation and desires to live a righteous life. She desires that godliness afforded her through salvation by Jesus Christ yet she has the normal human desires of a woman. Like men she is torn between living a life in integrity and that darned sexual drive (or maybe other forces)that lead her in the past to prostitution.
(In similar fashion, many men have condemned their own sexual drive and live in guilt, but I digress...)
The very same thing can be said of women that have no outlet for their desires. Specifically the former prostitute is shunned whenever she mentions to a possible suitor of her past. What a terrible thing to be done to her by God following men who shun a former prostitute. "Some body else will care for her but not me!"
How can men of sound character start to change that paradigm of false compassion? Can you love a former whore with a righteous love? Who will help give the healing to her of a godly life and appropriate sexual contact? Like Rahab, she just may be the mother of someone that could change the course of history.

But you can’t be free from the consequences of your past, only forgiven. She may carry dangerous, contagious consequences.
 
Many women turn from whoring to organized religion. This is one form that "hitting the wall" can take. They seek salvation from the shame and consequences of their sin, but lack true faith in Christ, and the repentance that always accompanies it. These women are extremely dangerous, causing harm wherever they go.

Some whorish women genuinely come to Jesus Christ, broken, humbled, and receive forgiveness and eternal life. That eternal life begins the moment true faith exists. They have been truly born again.

Rahab was in that category. Her conversion was complete.

Most of the former only fans models who are trying to reinvent themselves as "Christian social media influencers", and even many former feminist and "party girls" who now attend church, and want to get married and have children aren't.

A believing man must be very careful in his evaluation of the "Christian woman" with that type of past. The Christian man must be very careful in his evaluation of any woman.

Many are deadly vipers.

Some, like Rahab are now holy and beloved.

It is difficult.
Through many trials we must enter the Kingdom of God.
 
None of us can, but we have the same degree of forgiveness a former prostitute has - total forgiveness.
Yes, but as @Bartato says it's not so simple.

Since Church in practice doesn't shame whoring, well, any ex-whore will be welcome without demand for repetance for her previous behaviour.

There is also case of "divorced women" who has one/several serious relationships with boyfriend(s).
