So, the easy mental dodge is that she became a holy woman and didn’t engage in that stuff anymore....or something like that.

So then the women who do "that stuff" aren't holy, eh?

Only people who don't engage in sex are holy and if you engage in sex, you aren't or can't be holy?

That sends the message that sex is sin, wrong, base, carnal, unworthy of holy people, etc.

We’re talking about the first and second century AD. Did you pick up on that?
