Yeah... Hosea 1:2

Really this passages are just too controversial. Thanks for pointing that out!

It's much more than name calling. Read all the context & ask the obvious questions.
The majority of 'controversy' is lack of understanding, and probably the reminder is poor translation
In God's Word Jesus is referred to as the Bridegroom and His Church and people as the Bride. (Matt 25:1-13).
A WOMEN in God's Word represents those of His people who are following God or not following God
• WOMAN, PURE = True Church (Jeremiah 6:2; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:23-27)
• WOMAN, CORRUPT = Apostate church (Ezk 16:15-58; 23:2-21; Hos. 2:5; 3:1; Rev. 14:4)
• WOMAN HARLOT = Apostate church/religion (Eze 23 1:49; Isaiah 1:21-27; Jeremiah 3:1-3; 6-9)
Eze 23
In Ezekiel 23, there was two sisters. Ones name was Aholah (H170; Samaria; Idolatry) the elderH1419, and Aholibah (H172 Symbolic name for Judah) her younger sister. God's people were being led into Idolatry by the Samaritans. Idolatry and worshiping other God's is likened to Adultery concerning God and His people throughout His Word. For those professing to follow God, harlotry represents unfaithfulness to God, or not following God's Word and sinning against Him.

Hope this helps
God bless
The issue is people not believing God. God created the Earth, time, light and heaven, before He created the Sun. You either believe Him or you don't. If you don't then stop acting like you're above people who do, that's the general message I'm getting at. The heliocentric model is wrong because it doesn't fit scripture.
No, mockers and scoffers like Posthuman keep giving likes to people promoting anti-biblical beliefs, and insinuating that I worship a flat earth or that it's my religion. The people in the other thread will do anything to stick to their belief in science and the atheist world view that they are replacing words in scripture to make it fit.
If God says something, it's true. It's not an opportunity to change the words to make godless people happy.

Oh, it gets better!
From chapter 6:
1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
.......
11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

1 Samuel 28:7-19
Saul then said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” His servants replied, “There is a woman at En-dor who is a medium.” Saul disguised himself by putting on different clothes and set out with two of his men. They came to the woman at night, and Saul said, “Consult a spirit for me. Bring up for me the one I tell you.”
But the woman said to him, “You surely know what Saul has done, how he has killed the mediums and spiritists in the land. Why are you setting a trap for me to get me killed?” Then Saul swore to her by the Lord: “As surely as the Lord lives, nothing bad will happen to you because of this.”
“Who is it that you want me to bring up for you?” the woman asked. “Bring up Samuel for me,” he answered. When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed, and then she asked Saul, “Why did you deceive me? You are Saul!” But the king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?”
“I see a spirit form coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered. Then Saul asked her, “What does he look like?” “An old man is coming up,” she replied. “He’s wearing a robe.” Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed his face to the ground and paid homage. “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Samuel asked Saul.
“I’m in serious trouble,” replied Saul. “The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He doesn’t answer me anymore, either through the prophets or in dreams. So I’ve called on you to tell me what I should do.” Samuel answered, “Since the Lord has turned away from you and has become your enemy, why are you asking me?
The Lord has done exactly what He said through me: The Lord has torn the kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David. You did not obey the Lord and did not carry out His burning anger against Amalek; therefore the Lord has done this to you today. The Lord will also hand Israel over to the Philistines along with you. Tomorrow you and your sons will be with me, and the Lord will hand Israel’s army over to the Philistines.”

Israel was not into human sacrifice. When the king of Moab sacrificed his son Israel got angry and went home.
also A Women in God's Word represents A church
like Revelation 12:1 a woman clothed with the sun, is not the same
as the great false counter church reviled in rev 17, that is not of God.
This is really warped. She saw pictures, on the walls, of the sons of Bavel.(The sons of Babel) They were nephilim. Part man and part something else. and she lusted after them......
What should God have done? They were mocking a man of God. And thus they were mocking God as well
