Plus which, the entire marriage was a metaphor, symbolizing God's continuing
convenant with Israel despite the people's habit of whoring after false
gods. Hosea was typical of the Yahwist prophets in seeking to focus worship
solely on one supreme deity. While Eagle1's point is technically correct
(okay, it should have been fornication rather than adultery, but who's
counting?), Hosea presented himself as a type of Israel, so that when asked
"Why did you marry a whore?" he could say, "Because the people of Israel
have done exactly this by lusting after Asherah in her high places."

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
