Bible Question: where does i find it is better to place your seed in the belly of a whore than to spill it , |
Bible Answer: There is no scripture suggesting it is OK to have sex with a prostitute. On the contrary, we have 1 Corinthians 6:15. "Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid". The unthinkableness of that idea is reflected on in the following verses. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. |
