    The whore of Babylon is Israel.
    Oh. Cool. (Guno won't like hearing that)

    OK. Another good choice.

    Guno will understand it.

    There are about 30 verses in scripture that refers to Israel as harlot, but I need to check my memory to be sure..

    Hosea 5:4

    Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the LORD.

    Hosea 4:12

    My people consult their wooden idol, and their diviner's wand informs them; For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, And they have played the harlot, departing from their God.

    Jeremiah 13:27

    "As for your adulteries and your lustful neighings, The lewdness of your prostitution On the hills in the field, I have seen your abominations Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?"
    He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death. Thomas Paine

    I can't recommend this website, but it does list the various verses that refer to Israel's harlotry.

    Queen of heaven (antiquity) Queen of Heaven was a title given to a number of ancient sky goddesses worshipped throughout the ancient Mediterranean and Near East during ancient times. Goddesses known to have been referred to by the title include Inanna, Anat, Isis, Astarte, Hera, and possibly Asherah (by the prophet Jeremiah )

    You know I was joking, don't you?

    What is there to debate? Scripture is very clear that it's Israel.

    I posted the scripture.. Perhaps you don't agree with any of those verses.

    You posted some verses out of context. Your ignorance is appalling.

    None are out of context.

    If you believe that, you have no idea what context is.
