Bible Question (short): What was/is a temple prostitute? |
Question (full): Dear Family in Christ...... What was a "temple prostitute" of GE 38:21, or "cult prostitute" of DT 23:17. (The NIV uses "shrine prostitue" for these verses.) What was it that these men and women did that was different, or unique in some way, from other prostitutes of their time. Any Scriptural description? God Bless....Jensen |
