The bible says as I have stated. The part about the church being a prostitute is not just my example, it is what the bible says. You did not take the time to see or completely ignored the fact that at that time the church had moved away from God. Therefore the condition of a prostitute.The only reason you could become obsessive over a non-essential topic is because of the convoluted model of eschatology the SDA church conjured. The result of embracing Adventist interpretation is an inability to read the Bible for what it actually says, and calling the Biblical message "nonsense".
Here you would force your view of a symbolic woman equaling the church, regardless of how its used. You force the notion that the church is a prostitute in your example above. You also forced the church's existence before it was established, during the tenure of the old covenant the church didn't exist within. You've started some threads that fixate on known errors in your pet English translation ('Why not Jesus?' thread comes to mind), and here you again rely on a faulty translation in order to prop up a theological impossibility.
Revelation uses the term harlot, again it is reference to a church that is not of God's leading.
Hosea puts it all in contexts. The harlot he was married to reflected the Jews/church that when away from God and the many times God went back for her.
In conclusion, both of us in relation to our beliefs as to what God requires of us are both harlots or one of us. One of us are of His true church or both of us are not. One of us got it right or both of us got wrong. For sure there is a harlot/prostitute among us. A church that while it is called by the name Christain it is not of God.
