But is it Biblical?
Episode 37: The Prophets of Porneia Part 1
When you read “sexual immorality” in the New Testament, it is the Greek word porneia.
But what did “porneia” mean to the authors who used that word?
We simply need to go to the translation of the Bible that was used at the time the New Testament authors wrote.
There are 131 examples of “porneia” being used to translate the Hebrew Bible…
And most of these examples were from the prophets God chose to speak for Him to the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
When the Hebrew scribes translated the Bible into Greek, how did they use the word “porneia?”
Would the New Testament authors use a different definition of “porneia” than the one found in their Bible?
What were the problems the prophets were addressing with Israel and Judah?
How do the Biblical definitions of marriage and adultery help us understand “porneia?”
Did Hosea really “marry” a prostitute…or did he have children with her outside of “wedlock?”
And how does the analogy of Hosea’s life help us understand porneia?
Like most stories and parables in the Bible…whether true or not…they were used to illustrate a bigger truth…
So…what was the bigger truth of “porneia?”
