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.

It seems to be a matter of degree. Carrying on with a prostitute, here today and gone tomorrow, is not much more virtuous than carrying on with a family member related by marriage.

I call BS right there.

How can you possibly call that unknowing fornication? The black words on the white page in my text make it very clear that Judah believed he was lying with a prostitute. The price (a young goat) was agreed before the act took place. When he went back to look for her he was clearly looking for not only a prostitute, but a "shrine prostitute", possibly a "temple prostitute" in your translation.

The only thing in doubt was her identity and relationship to him.
