1 Cor 5:11 "...if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

Why don't you go ahead and read all of Genesis 38, where you will learn about Judah and Tamar, and how he impregnated his daughter-in-law while thinking she was a prostitute. A little fornication, possibly.

Then turn your Bible to Matthew 1:3 and discover that Judah and Tamar were both direct ancestors of Jesus.

Sounds to me like God has more forgiveness than you. Not a good place to be.

Hmmm. Interesting exegisis. You are saying that Paul's new testament injunction against knowing fornication was somehow controverted by an old testament instance of unknowing fornication?

Please don't start a Bible college. Solidwood wants us to get back on the comforting topic of Jeb Bush, so we can't talk Bible anymore.
