1 | Is The Quote In The Bible? Where? | Deut 23:18 | sonofmom | 231996 | ||
Deuteronomy 23:18 seems to be the right verse, but not the only verse. per the King James, "Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. " The hire of a whore, meaning, the money she gets by her whoring, and the price of a dog, that is, of the Sodomite, pimp, or whoremaster (for such are called dogs in Rev. 22:15). The money gained by lewd and unlawful practices, shall by no means be brought into the house of the Lord for any vow. What this is saying, is that God would not accept of any offering at all from such wicked people; if they had nothing to bring for an offering other than what they got through the practice of wickedness, then their sacrifice could not but be an abomination to the Lord, Prov. 15:8. So, to beware of the man with the price of a dog (having it in his pocket must mean he would be looking to spend it) would mean to me that if it is not good enough to put in the offering plate at church, then if I were to accept it, possibly as wages, or trade, I would be partaking in what the Lord considers an abomination. And that, good pastor, is plenty to beware of. May the true God of the Bible richly bless you as you serve Him. -Son |

Gill, just because someone says that its in the Bible does not mean anything at all. This includes pastors as well as authors of magazine articles. That is how cliches get started. Many people think that the phrase, "God helps those who help themselves" is from the Bible. But that statement doesn't even make sense. Wouldn't you think that God would help those who are unable to help themselves first? Son |
