Temple Prostitution in These united States of America

1 Kings 14:21-24 Solomon’s son Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen from all the territory of Israel as the place where he was to be worshiped. Rehoboam’s mother was Naamah from Ammon. The people of Judah sinned against the Lord and did more to arouse his anger against them than all their ancestors had done. They built places of worship for false gods and put up stone pillars and symbols of Asherah to worship on the hills and under shady trees. Worst of all, there were men and women who served as prostitutes at those pagan places of worship. The people of Judah practiced all the shameful things done by the people whom the Lord had driven out of the land as the Israelites advanced into the country.

This problem with Prostitution in connected with the Temple Idols has been found in many cultures throughout the centuries. Not only do we find it in the Old Testament, but we find it as a issue in the New Testament. In Corinth for example, rising 1,500 feet above the city and to the south of the acropolis was a fortified hill upon which loomed the infamous Temple of Aphrodite or Venus. This pagan temple and its 1,000 temple prostitutes greatly influenced the city’s culture and morals. In the book of Corinthians Paul has to deal with the issue of Christians and joining themselves with idols and how that is inconsistent with being joined with Christ. Some scholars believe that Christians in Corinth were not only joining in Temple Feasts but they were also joining with Temple Prostitutes.

All this as introduction to my conviction that in the current news on the US Federal Government and free contraceptives for women we are returning to a culture characterized by Temple Idol worship that includes the perk of Temple prostitution.

If we agree that the State has become the Idol then the idea that the idol State is subsidizing single women’s sexual habits by providing or requiring the free provision of contraceptives it is not a leap to see the women who take advantage of the free contraceptives in order to have copious amounts of sex are in essence Prostitutes for the Temple God of the State. Now, it is true that we are missing a centralized location where all this Temple sex occurs but as we are far more Democratic than the ancients one might argue that we have decentralized our Temple sex so that our Temple Prostitutes lavish their whorings on any passerby in any place of convenience. So, the whoredom of America is connected to Temple Prostitution as required by and provided for by the Idol State.

The Idol state, in our modern expression of Temple Prostitution, plays the role of the Pimp by providing contraceptives for their temple Prostitutes for free AND by providing the required blood atonement sacrifice to themselves as the Idol State by paying for the abortions that occur among their stable of fillies, and this keeps agents of the Idol state (Planned Parenthood) profiting from the selling of whoredom. By providing free abortions along with free contraceptives the Idol State does a lucrative business that keeps their temple prostitutes turning more tricks.

So, Temple Prostitution is not a thing of the past and should not only be identified with ancient cultures. Modern man has his own version of Temple Prostitution and the current “contraceptives for free,” story that is all over the news is proof of that for those with eyes to see — for those who have not so identified with their culture that they can no longer see the culture for what it is.
