Thank you for the invitation, but I don't intend to participate in your continuing discussion.You cannot find ONE example of a non-virgin (not including widow) girl taking a husband and it be a righteous union.

It's not at all ridiculous. Hosea indicates that God did it to illustrate how Israel went "whoring" after other gods.Secondly, to think that God would command Hosea to commit an abominable act of fornication by being sexually intimate with a prostitute is ridiculous.
Yes Paidion and the author would not disagree. But Israel went whoring "after" she was chosen.Paidion wrote:illustrate how Israel went "whoring" after other gods.
Thanks for asking, morbo3000. I, too, look forward to Roy's answer. So far, he has asked a lot of questions, many of which he says are rhetorical, but I can't quite discern what he wants us to do with the point he is making.morbo3000 wrote:Roy pm'd me, so I should clarify. This is not a rhetorical question. But neither do I want (or need) counsel. Theology is all well and good when it lives in our heads or screens. The test is in how our theology plays out in our relationships with other people. How we judge them (or not.) How we reveal the character of God in our relationships with other people (or not.)
I look forward to his answer.
