You answered a question on your site regarding men seeking prostitutes and quoted Proverbs 7:24-27 as the answer. However, that verse was denouncing an adulterous woman behaving like a prostitute. Why didn’t you offer a better example as the young man asking the question had a very serious dilemma about the sex drive of men being so strong, that he seemed to not understand why God would make it so overpowering but yet condemn men from having sex while unmarried. I still don’t see examples in the bible that hold up and especially not your example. No disrespect, as I am a Christian and I believe the bible is the inspired word of God, however, there is a difference between immorality and sex.<\/p>\n\t
I’ve puzzled over your statement because I can’t find any answer that matches what you claim you read. There is an answer that quotes Proverbs 7:24-27, but the question was simply,\u00a0Why is sex a sin?<\/a> There is no mention by the questioner about the strength of a man’s sex drive; however, the answer does address the difference between moral sex within marriage and immoral sex that takes place between people who are not married to each other. I looked up answers to questions that mentioned prostitution, the closest I found was\u00a0A prostitute caused me to ejaculate and I had to pay for it. What do I do?<\/a>; yet, this doesn’t mention Proverbs 7:24-27.<\/p>\n I’m also puzzled as to your point. Are you claiming that you can have sex with a prostitute and it not be a sin? That is easily disproved: “Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness<\/em>” (Leviticus 19:29). “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!<\/em>” (I Corinthians 6:15).<\/p>\n Or are you saying that fornication (having sex outside of marriage) is not a sin? “Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge<\/em>” (Hebrews 13:4).<\/p>\n In regards to Proverbs 7,<\/p>\n That you personally did not like the passage selected makes no difference to me.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: You answered a question on your site regarding men seeking prostitutes and quoted Proverbs 7:24-27 as the answer.
