Hurdler Lolo Jones is no stranger to the public eye. That became clear when she joined the 19th season of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2014. Jones is also a devout Christian and frequently posts scripture on her social media accounts. Today, she spoke out about the movie "50 Shades of Grey," and like any public figure, recieved harsh criticism for being so openly against the film. You can reference her Twitter account for the original tweet that dropped the bomb. 

What Jones did next has caused a stir of sorts. The hurdler/bobsleddler took to her Facebook account to defend herself and define the different types of "hate" she recieved for voicing her opinion. Here's what Jones had to say:

Women were never created to be treated that horribly. And men were never created to treat women, or anyone for that matter, that abusively. It creates a completely false image of true love.

'Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

If God has called me to think about “such things” as listed above, I know without the shadow of a doubt that “such things” do not include glamorizing sexual violence, violence against women, abuse of power or premarital sex. Encouraging acts like that, such as in ’50 Shades of Grey’ can only influence and manipulate what is “normal” as opposed to what is right.

Haters group 1: "Lolo is not allowed to speak about sex because she's a Virgin. "

I've also never been obese but I know the sincere health risks to being overweight. There are tons of statistics on how damaging porn, premarital sex and cohabiting are prior to marriage, completely unrelated to Christianity. That doesn’t even include how damaging sexual abuse is for individuals and couples alike. I believe that my desire to remain pure is perfectly in line with God’s best for my life. I know it will aid me in escaping deeper heartache than what could take place in my relationships. I also believe it eliminates the confusion that comes with being bonded, tied to multiple men while searching for The One.

Haters group 2: “How can Lolo talk about the purity and her Twitter picture is risky."
I guess they haven’t seen me in my Olympic uniform jumping spread eagle over hurdles.

Haters group 3: “Lolo is just doing this for the fame”
You think about the cast from 90210 and how famous they were years ago. If any of them walked into a grocery store today, people would walk right by them. Fame is fleeting. I have never asked to be famous, but I did ask God to use me.

1 Peter 1:24 “As Scriptures say, ‘People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.’”

Haters group 4: “It's just a fiction movie it has no impact so just chill.”
The movie ‘Natural Born Killers’ inspired some of the most gruesome copycat crimes. Also, the movie ‘Scream’ encouraged teenagers to murder. Movies will always inspire its viewers. Motivation and behavior can come from endless sources of inspiration, whether it’s a movie, video game, or novel. ‘50 Shades of Grey’, although seemingly insignificant, can easily encourage and or inspire men, women and children to act according to the behaviors that are represented.

Matthew 6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body, So if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

I just simply don’t think that is good for the soul – for anyone.
