what does the bible say?
Yes, it is a sin for Christians to watch strippers or go to a strip club. Strip clubs exist to promote lust, sensuality, perversion, and sexual immorality. They promote a view of humans as sex objects for self-gratification and laud sexuality as a god. Humans are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). Sex is intended as a beautiful act between a husband and wife in the one-flesh covenant bond of marriage (Genesis 2:24–25; Hebrews 13:4). Marriage depicts God’s relationship with His people (Ezekiel 16; Ephesians 5:25–32; Revelation 19:6–10; 21:2). To use sexuality for one’s own pleasure—particularly at the expense of others—is to completely miss the point, pervert God’s good gift, sully the image, harm others, and harm oneself (1 Corinthians 6:18). God calls Christians to live in holiness (Leviticus 19:2; Hebrews 13:4). He also calls them to love others with His love (John 13:34–35). The Bible calls believers to avoid lustful actions and to guard their hearts (Psalm 101:3, Proverbs 4:23). Jesus teaches that even looking at someone with lust is equivalent to adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:28). Strip clubs, which reduce people to sexuality and encourage lust (and often other sexual immorality), are incompatible with a Christ-centered life. God calls Christians to live in holiness (Leviticus 19:2; Hebrews 13:4). Rather than seeking what we can "get away with," Christians are encouraged to focus on what is pure, noble, and good (Philippians 4:8).
