"Luke 7:36-50 English Standard Version (ESV)
A Sinful Woman Forgiven
36 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”
41 “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among[a] themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
"
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little.”
I do not see how you are interpreting this passage to be
we should stay close to whores?
It is a lesson in faith, forgiveness, and loyalty. I do not think much of the fact that she is a "prostitute" play that large of a part.
Yet if you go back to the time it was written isn't it always easier to pick on women and their sins over a man sinning? Women were considered lower than men. a prostitute lower still. if Jesus can forgive the 'worst sinner ever' in the eyes of who wrote this...... than anyone, even a man that kills people, which is not as bad as a prostitute? because it is a man? can be forgiven.
So I still do not understand how you get 'stay close to whores' from a lesson about forgiving a sinner.
if you would had any idea about biblical language, you would understand that woman was a prostitute. And yes, we should stay close to, follow, those that sin the most, remember the lost sheep parable? Have a great night.
“What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish. link

This has to do with the fact that we are all important to God even the ones that stray.
There is always a road back to God.
Night!
The point was she was a very bad sinner. In the context of the time that meant a prostitute. The lesson is still the same
