Bible Note: Greetings Jensen! Yes, I think you are on the right track! Check out all of the references to the high places in the history of Israel. There is no doubt that there were shrine prostitues in Israel. The only point I was trying to make is that they were always associated with idol worship and not the true worship of the Temple. Even Israel never sank that low! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
