The Old Testament is full of pornography, far worse than any PLAYBOY,
PLAYGIRL, or PENTHOUSE. Of course there are no psychedelic colors in the
pornography, so you don't see it, you have to read it. There are three hundred
and eighty-eight pages of pornography in the Old Testament. This is the biggest
pornographic holy scripture. One of my friends, Ben Akerley, has pulled out
those three hundred and eighty-eight pages and created a book called THE
X-RATED BIBLE. Now Christians all around the world are trying to ban the book,
but it has already gone underground, it is circulating. I have it; I would not
say anything for which I don't have the right evidence!

FORNICATION
The word "fornication" comes from the Latin word "fornix,"
which was an L-shaped wall where prostitutes would assemble. Paul sometimes
used the word "porneia" which has been mistranslated as
"fornication." "Porneia" originally referred to the buying
and selling of slaves for cultic prostitution. Anyone taking part in cultic
prostitution would be committing the sin of idolatry.
Later versions of the Bible translate these two words as "sexual
immoraltity," a vague "wild card" on which anyone can project
their prejudices. It is often construed to mean any kind of sexual behavior
outside of marriage, though the original meanings of these words were more
specific.
By reviewing all of these verses you will see that the term
"fornication" is most often used in a metaphoric sense, or in
relation to idolatry.
