the harlot-prostitute here is refering to sin/sinanture...
Christians are to be joined to God in all they do...
we are 'Bride of Christ'
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

I had another translation posted and there were those who thought I called their wives prostitutes, are the women prostitutes.
I say this is why it's says the Word of God is a mystery...
have to have spiritual insight to understand it<><

No need to apologize, If they misunderstood, maybe they need to: "Dig A Little Deeper In The Well". For those who misunderstand, you need to Read and Study God's Word more.

Your interpretation is different than mine. This passage speaks to me this way:
Having been baptized in the name of Jesus I have become a part of His Consciousness, which energy flows through me. Because this is my resonance, this is where I shall stay. Anything else will not resonate with the energy I have become, the energy I have embraced, the energy that is All That Is.
The physical of my being is one thing. The spirit is another. I have joined in spiritual union with Source, whom I call Jesus. At the physical, I may join with others to become one body, joined as one with another, harmonizing, blending, adjusting, flowing, enmeshed. But as a spiritual being I am unique and remain that way even in the face of spiritual union with Source. I am not the Bride of Christ. I am not married to Him. I am simply part of His Oneness, His Singularity, His Consciousness.
The harlot refers to the physical being. The rest is about relationship with the Christ Consciousness.
Your interpretation is yours, and I respect you for it. My interpretation is completely different. Are you able to respect me?

i've got been married two times beforehand, so i don't care if i don't marry lower back, yet I won't say that I "won't" marry lower back...it is not a concern in any respect, yet i could prefer to have somebody to share my life with... i've got been unmarried for an prolonged time now (the greater valuable area of the previous 11 yrs) so i'm delicate with it purely being me, if that is how something of my life is going...I even have acquaintances and kin and pastimes, so that is in no way uninteresting (yet especially circumstances it gets lonely)...

You know what's funny is a lot of Christians misinterpret that passage to mean that sex equals marriage. So they go after the new converts who have a history of sexual sin and try to convince them that they can never be free because they will always be bound to whoever they had sex with. Are you one of those people? Hope not...

We should not only be joined to Christ Jesus, but one another as well. First we need to learn to love one another and show this love so that the world will see it and covet our blessed lives.

Jesus. Basically her question is, "Are you in a right relationship with Jesus or are you preoccupied with the way of the world?"

Did you have a question? Or did you just want to evangelize on Yahoo! Answers?
Why do YOU doubt the existance of pink unicorns?
If I tell you there's pink unicorns, that should be good enough for you.
You see, pink unicorns are good - they deplore evil. Pink unicorns are worthy of cash donations, and they should have huge buildings built in their honor so we can all go and "talk" to the pink unicorns.
Yep, pink unicorns are where it's at.
If you don't believe in pink unicorns, you'll fry in hell.
