Bible Discussion Thread

@Melchor,
This is in no way insane or rude. It is rather GOD using analogy, just as Stan Sykes has said.
Of course I’m not sure if those things could be said publicly as the prophet does, (with regard to the customs and manners of the time)…

But in so many instances, the Bible calls idolatry as prostitution ( Exodus 32:25) and in many other places. So the prostitution here refers to idolatry which sometimes included disordered sex or even orgies as commended by the priest of the gods of the nations which Israel submitted himself to.

Now the fact that GOD through the Prophet goes that far as to private organs is another figure of speech, GOD using the reasoning of the prostitute, to get attention from the prostitute.

If those things were openly spoken of, or were common place, that’s ok. But if they were not, which means the prophet is coming rude… That’s another figure of speech, I try to find the Greek name, but my connection is so bad this evening. However, the translation in English is Excess, which means saying bad things, even scandalous ones to get one’s attention… We have it in African languages, like in Lingala we call that figure of speech ‘’KOSANZA’’ which translates ‘’ to spew (I’m very sure if that how it should be written) or to vomit’’ which means saying bad shocking things, even purely rude insane nonsense to shock and get everybody ashamed, shut up and leave.

So there is nothing bad or strange in that.
