Ezekiel 23:1-49 Would this be the best way to stop prostitution?

Answer 1

I don't read the bible anymore as I prefer non-fiction, and I'm not inclined to look up the passage for this question. However, I would like to address the premise that prostitution ought to be stopped. There is no point in stopping prostitution because it's going to happen anyway. The smart thing to do is as Nevada has done--legalize it and carefully regulate it. As a result, there have been virtually no STDs spread through legal prostitution, the counties with whorehouses receive a huge economic benefit to build and maintain community services such as schools, sex crimes are down--way down--compared to other communities, there isn't nearly the crime element and the expensive enforcement associated with illegal prostitution, and women who are saddled with a husband who is going to wander for excitement would be spared the drama of affairs or the chance of disease. (And I understand Heidi Fleiss is opening a whorehouse for women!) Of course, the bible thumpers would prefer to legislate morality instead of being pragmatic about what really works. Which brings us to the topic of legalized marijuana. . .

Answer 2

I read this chapter at Biblegateway.com. It seems more like a political parable than a warning about actual prostitution.

Verse 4 says, "...Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem."

The rest of the chapter sounds like a description of how Samaria and Jerusalem formed alliances with other nations. In the end, their so-called allies turned on them. As I said, it's a political parable, not a sexual one.

Answer 3

You do realize that this is figurative don't you? This is referring to Samaria and Jerusalem. That being said, Jesus didn't treat prostitutes that way.......he loved them back to the straight and narrow. I know they did in the Old Testament, but something must not have worked very well because it was changed from "stone them" to "love them."

Answer 4

So, you're saying you'd like to stop prostitution with MURDER? Check the 10 Commandments for the answer to that one...

Answer 5

I don't get it, the best way to stop prostitution is to strike down Samaria and Jerusalem?

Answer 6

Hardly. It is a business just like any other. Cut off the supply or cut off the demand.Only this or the worlds end will suffice. Peace.

Answer 7

i do not have self belief it really is a chance to end it altogether, there are too many ladies individuals who have self belief it really is an problem-loose attributable to make money that doesn't require too various them (a minimum of mentally conversing). inspite of the easy incontrovertible actuality that, maximum persons of the ladies individuals who're there wound up there because of a foul subject at abode. in many situations abusive mum and dad stress away toddlers in the previous they're waiting for the genuine global. the female then is going into prostitution to help herself. sometimes it really is a lack of teaching, and unable to get a activity extra proper than McDonalds. In essence, we quite opt to artwork on our parenting skills as an finished. toddlers desire self-discipline, yet we could continually be careful now to not overdo it or we are able to stress them away. toddlers extra proper than some ingredient else opt to experience needed; then inspite of in case you self-discipline them and in section because you self-discipline them they are going to have self concept that you're doing it for his or her benefit. That extra proper than some ingredient else is critical, truly through technique of our fathers. Too in many situations they go away, and too in many situations those that stay basically overlook about their toddlers. furnish them a sparkling toy (mutually with cellphones and automobiles on a similar time as they advance old)and provide them out so as that they don't seem to be bothering us anymore. finally the teen receives the concept they don't seem to be needed, then they go away in the previous they're waiting for the global. Prostitution is frequently their very very last ditch attempt to purchase themselves from starvation on a similar time as they don't have the various recourse. We as mum and dad would favor to furnish that recourse in a superb abode existence and a perfect coaching.
