Are Cult Prostitutes And Their Prostitution
|

Question: In the last 100 years, gay people have been reinterpreting the Bible to make homosexuality look okay.
Aren’t gay people just trying to find an alibi for their sin?
No, most definitely not. The destruction of Sodom occurred around 1850 BC. For about 1800 years after the destruction of Sodom (Genesis 19), our ancient Jewish and Christian ancestors, some of whom were the human authors of scripture, did not interpret the Sodom story as condemning gays and lesbians.
For most of the last 2000 years, the Church has not interpreted the word malakoi in I Cor 6:9 to mean homosexual.
Anti-gay Christians are the people who have reinterpreted the Sodom story.

The people doing the reinterpretation are anti-gay Christians who departed from the Biblical witness and from traditional Jewish and Christian teaching.
They are the ones who have reinterpreted verses about cult prostitutes.
They now allege that verses about cult prostitution actually refer to committed, faithful, non-cultic same sex relationships as we know them in modern times.
They are wrong. There is no logical analogy between ancient cult prostitutes who worshiped the fertility goddess and modern homosexuals, many of whom are born again Christians who love and serve Jesus Christ.
It is simply a fact that faithful, non-cultic, same sex relationships are never condemned in the Bible.
I challenge anyone to present a verse which, in context, condemns committed, faithful, non-cultic, same sex partnerships.
If you can find such a verse, I'll be happy to post it here in large letters. Of course, such a verse does not exist.
What the Bible condemns are cultic sex practices which were performed in worship of the Canaanite fertility goddess. The Bible condemns cult prostitutes but the Bible never condemns committed, faithful, non-cultic same sex partnerships.
Pagan worship of the fertility goddess by cult prostitutes is not the same as a committed, faithful, non-cultic same sex partnership.
The testimony of Roman coins.

Think about it for a moment.
Cybele coins similar to the one pictured here were circulating in the Roman Empire for at least 75 years before the birth of Christ and for many years afterward.
This particular coin was circulating in Rome in the first century, when Paul wrote his epistle to the Romans about AD 58.
Cybele worship and the power and influence of this fertility goddess whose temple loomed over Rome from atop the Palatine hill, frame the historical context of Romans 1.
These Links provide additional information about cult prostitutes.
2. Shrine prostitutes are not the same as homosexuals.
3. The Bible forbids worship of the fertility goddess under the rubric of Molech worship.
4. The Bible is absolutely clear about pagan worship practices.
5. Romans 1:26-27 is in the historical context of worshiping Cybele, the ancient fertility goddess.
6. The Greek word arsenokoites, in I Cor 6:9, never meant homosexual.
