Bible Question: why did Hosea marry prostitute |
Bible Answer: Grahame: This question has been visited by many Bible students for centuries. There are two main thoughts. First is that God told Hosea to marry Gomer, who God forenew Gomer would become a prostitute. Second that Hosea looked for a prostitute to marry. For me I believe the first answer is correct because Hosea was forbidden to marry any woman who was not a virgin, by the law. God would not require Hosea to brake the Law to do Gods will. As I said these are the two main thoughts. What do you think? Blessings. justme |
