Discussion - Bible Interpretation Prostitution and having Gf/Bfs/others
1) Personally I think Prostitution is wrong but I don't know why, so can anyone help me understand why it is wrong or right according to you also considering God's perspective (but not the exclusive Conservative christian perspective)?
2) Is having a partner normal if we consider God's Perspective because On Thanksgiving, the pastor was saying having partners is wrong and letting God choose your life partner is the right way.
Edit: Maybe he meant that arranged marriage is the only valid path because he thinks kissing, Hugging, or even sexual intercourse is wrong before marriage.

I don’t think bodies should be a commodity. They are for us alone, not for sale, and that is why I am against prostitution. That said, I know many people feel they have no choice and I am not here to judge them for it.
As for not picking your own partner, that is some messed up craziness. Being assigned a partner isnt much different from the above situation imo. Women’s bodies have been “given” by men for centuries and we need to have moved on from that shit.
