The Bible’s Warnings Against Prostitution
One of the charges that infidelity has made against the Bible is that certain portions of it are so indecent as to be unfit to read in a refined home. Some of these portions of Scripture to which they refer were those laws and warnings that were given concerning prostitution. But just the same, if those portions of the Scripture had been read, studied, and heeded, we would not have the “social evil,” the “white slave traffic,” and “commercialized vice,” to contend against in this time; and it would not be necessary for some people to say in public the many things that are said that are quite as plain and as much open to the charge of indecency as anything that has been found fault with in the good old Book. It is well for us to understand that Jehovah, the Author of the Bible, is infinite in His knowledge, and He knew very well what to inspire His prophets to write.
