The Bible contains explicit sexual language, profanity, and graphic imagery across dozens of passages spanning both the Old and New Testaments — content that even Christian scholars openly acknowledge as obscene, pornographic, and unfit for public reading in churches.
The Song of Songs Mentions the Vagina and Penis
The Song of Songs explicitly references female and male genitalia.
Song of Songs — reference to sexual anatomy in the biblical text
You Son of a Bitch
Arabic translations of 1 Samuel 20:30 soften Saul’s insult against Jonathan. The English translations preserve the original force of the language:
1 Samuel 20:30 (NLT) “Saul boiled with rage at Jonathan. ‘You stupid son of a whore!’ he swore at him. ‘Do you think I don’t know that you want him to be king in your place, shaming yourself and your mother?’”
The MSG renders it: “You son of a slut!” This is the style and wording of the book the Church regards as sacred scripture.
1 Samuel 20:30 — original text and English translations showing the explicit insult
You and the Slut Are One
Arabic translations of 1 Corinthians 6:16 substitute softened equivalents for the word pornē. English translations are uniform:
1 Corinthians 6:16 (ESV) “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, ‘The two will become one flesh.’”
The AMP, CJB, DLNT, and WYC all render the referent explicitly as a prostitute or whore. The WYC reads: he that cleaveth to a whore, is made one body.
Whores and Brothels
Hosea 4:14 (NLT) “But why should I punish them for their prostitution and adultery? For your men are doing the same thing, sinning with whores and shrine prostitutes. O foolish people! You refuse to understand, so you will be destroyed.”
Our Sister is Naughty
Genesis 34:31 (AMP) “But they said, Should he treat our sister as a prostitute?”
The MEV renders: Should he treat our sister like a prostitute? The CJB and NRSVA confirm the same wording.
He Thought She Was a Slut
Genesis 38:15 (AMP) “When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, because she had covered her face.”
The CEB, WYC (he supposed her to be a whore), and NRSVCE all confirm this reading.
Whores Will Precede You to Heaven
These words are attributed to Jesus (peace be upon him) by the Church’s own text — meaning the Church has burdened the Prophet of God with language it compiled itself.
Matthew 21:31 (WYC) “Truly I say to you, for publicans and whores shall go before you into the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 21:31 — BibleGateway screenshot, Wycliffe Bible
The Bastards Believed in Him
Matthew 21:32 (ESVUK) “For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe in him.”
The LEB, GW, NRSVCE, and NRSVA all confirm this wording.
Khawlat — Slutty Men
Arabic translations of 1 Corinthians 6:9 replace explicit terms with vague equivalents. English translations name the categories directly:
1 Corinthians 6:9 (NRSV) “Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites…”
The AMPC uses “participate in homosexuality,” the GNT uses “homosexual perverts,” the CEV “pervert,” and the TLB lists “homosexuals” explicitly.
Members of the Body of Christ and Members of the Whore
1 Corinthians 6:15 (AMP) “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Am I therefore to take the members of Christ and make them part of a prostitute? Certainly not!”
The WYC renders: Shall I then take the members of Christ, and shall I make them the members of a whore? God forbid. The CEV and DLNT confirm the same.
Your Son Spent on Whores
Luke 15:30 (MSG) “Then this son of yours who has thrown away your money on whores shows up and you go all out with a feast.”
The CEV, ERV, ESVUK, ICB, and TLB all explicitly name “prostitutes” in the parable of the prodigal son.
Rahab Al-Mutannaka
Hebrews 11:31 (CEB) “By faith Rahab the prostitute wasn’t killed with the disobedient because she welcomed the spies in peace.”
The WYC renders “Rahab the whore.” The GW, MEV, ESVUK, and CEV all confirm “prostitute.” This is the title given to a woman praised in the faith chapter of Hebrews.
The Great Slut
Revelation 17:1 (KJ21) “And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, ‘Come hither; I will show unto you the judgment upon the great whore who sitteth upon many waters.’”
The BRG, ESVUK, and CEB all confirm this reading.
Mother of the Whores — Mother of the Sluts — Mother of the Maids
Revelation 17:5 (CJB) “On her forehead was written a name with a hidden meaning, BAVEL THE GREAT MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE EARTH’S OBSCENITIES.”
The ESV renders “mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” The CEV: mother of every immoral and filthy thing on earth.
Where the Bitch Sits
Revelation 17:15 (KJ21) “And he said unto me, ‘The waters which you sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples and multitudes, and nations and tongues.’”
The AMP, CJB, BRG, and EXB all confirm this reading.
The Great Slut Condemned
Revelation 19:2 (KJV) “For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”
The NRSV, KJ21, BRG, and CEB all render “great whore” or “great prostitute” identically.
Sex, Fucking, Ejaculating, Wet Dreams, and Menstruation
Arabic translations of Leviticus 15:32–33 replace anatomical terms with vague euphemisms. The CEV renders the passage without softening:
Leviticus 15:32–33 (CEV) “These are the things you men must do if you become unclean because of an infected penis or if you have a flow of semen. And these are the things you women must do when you become unclean either because of your monthly period or an unusual flow of blood. This is also what you men must do if you have sex with a woman who is unclean.”
The law does not speak of gonorrhea as some translators have implied — it speaks explicitly of semen discharged from the male genitals and of the menstruating or bleeding woman. When a person is unable to hide the truth, the concealment becomes visible in his speech and writings.
Leviticus 15 — CEV text showing "infected penis" and "flow of semen"Leviticus — "penis" terminology documented in English Bible translations
The CEV text makes the anatomical referent precise in a way Arabic translations consistently obscure.
Leviticus — additional "penis" reference confirmed across English translations
Zobar (Penis) Disorders Prevent You from the Sanctities
Leviticus 22:4 (CEV) “None of you may take part in the sacred meals while you have a skin disease or an infected penis, or after you have been near a dead body or have had a flow of semen.”
Arabic translations render this with “discharge” or “flow” — concealing the anatomical precision of the original English text.
Leviticus 22 — CEV text on "infected penis" barring from sacred meals
Racism for the Broken Zobar
Twelve separate English translations of Deuteronomy 23:1 use the explicit terms “testicles” and “penis” — yet Arabic translations render “waist” or “loins.”
Deuteronomy 23:1 (NLT) “If a man’s testicles are crushed or his penis is cut off, he may not be admitted to the assembly of the Lord.”
The CEB, GW, GNT, HCSB, ISV, TLB, NOG, NLT, NRSV, NRSVA, NRSVACE, and NRSVCE all confirm “testicles” and “penis” explicitly.
Deuteronomy 23:1 — "penis cut off" across multiple English translations
Sex Does Not Mean Adultery, but Rather Fucking
Arabic translations of John 8:3 render the act as “adultery.” The English translations describe what actually took place:
John 8:3 (WE) “The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus. They had caught her having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made the woman stand in front of them.”
The NLV renders it “doing a sex sin.” Arabic translations insert the word “adultery” where the English simply says “sex.”
John 8:3 — "sex" terminology in English translations
Abstain from Sex
Acts 15:20 (WE) “We should write them a letter and tell them what they must not do. They must not eat food that has been given to idols. They must not have sex with someone who is not their husband or wife. They must not eat the meat of animals that are killed by chopping. They must not taste blood.”
The MSG and NLV confirm the same explicit rendering of “sexual intercourse” where Arabic translations use the vague “fornication.”
Men Fuck Each Other
Romans 1:27 (CEV) “Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to have sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men. They did shameful things with each other, and what happened to them is punishment for their foolish deeds.”
The CJB, ERV, EXB, TLB, NLV, and WE all render this passage with explicit sexual language. Arabic translations use “unnatural desires” or “burning lust” — obscuring that the text describes men having sex with men.
Nick Respectfully
Romans 13:13 (WE) “We must not take part in noisy feasting with dancing, or get drunk. We must not do any kind of wrong thing with sex. We must not quarrel or be jealous.”
The NLV and PHILLIPS confirm the same rendering — explicit reference to sexual sin where Arabic translations use “licentiousness” or “wantonness.”
Strong Sex Desire
1 Corinthians 7:9 (WE) “But if they cannot keep themselves under control, then they should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with desire for sex.”
The NLV confirms: It is better to marry than to have such strong sex desires.
The Man Fucks His Father’s Wife
1 Corinthians 5:1 (CEB) “Everyone has heard that there is sexual immorality among you. This is a type of immorality that isn’t even heard of among the Gentiles — a man is having sex with his father’s wife.”
The MSG: a report of scandalous sex within your church family. The WE: a man is living with his father’s wife. Arabic translations render this as “fornication” — hiding the incestuous specificity of the act.
Hell for Whoever Has Sex with His Wife
Revelation 14:4 (WE) “They are the people who have not had sex with women. They are clean. They are the people who follow the Lamb wherever he goes.”
The GNT, VOICE, and WE all render this as explicit sexual abstinence being the qualification for this group’s purity — raising the question of what the text implies for all married men.
Do Not Mix with the Uncle
Arabic translations of 1 Corinthians 5:9 render “immoral people” with vague terms. English translations are more precise:
1 Corinthians 5:9 (YLT) “I wrote to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers.”
The AMP, CEB, HCSB, RSV, and RSVCE render “sexually immoral people.” The NLV: people who do any kind of sex sins.
Make Love and Sex
1 — Genesis 39:7 — Potiphar’s Wife Demands Sex from Joseph
Genesis 39:7 (NET) “Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, ‘Have sex with me.’”
The ISV renders her words as: Let’s have some sex! The CEV records: Make love to me!
2 — Genesis 39:12 — She Grabs His Garment
Genesis 39:12 (ISV) “So she grabbed Joseph by his outer garment and demanded ‘Let’s have some sex!’ Instead, Joseph ran outside, leaving his outer garment still in her hand.”
The NET renders: Have sex with me! The CEV: Make love to me! Genesis 39:14 (MSG) records her accusation: He tried to make love to me but I yelled as loud as I could.
3 — Proverbs 7:18 — Let’s Make Love Until Morning
Proverbs 7:18 (CEV) “Let’s go there and make love all night.”
The CJB, ERV, EXB, GW, GNT, ICB, ISV, NOG, and NCV all render this as an explicit invitation to prolonged sexual intercourse through the night.
4 — Ezekiel 23:17 — The Babylonians in the Bed of Love
Ezekiel 23:17 (CEV) “Men from Babylonia came and had sex with her so many times that she got disgusted with them.”
The CEB, ERV, GNT, NIRV, NLV, LEB, and WEB all describe repeated sexual acts in explicit language.
5 — Genesis 29:21 — Jacob Wants to Make Love to Rachel
Genesis 29:21 (NIV) “Then Jacob said to Laban, ‘Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her.’”
The NIVUK confirms the same wording.
Genesis 39 — "sex" terminology in English translations
Woman’s Vagina
A Jesuit translation of 2 Kings 19:3 renders the text as: the unborn have reached the vagina, but there is no strength to give birth.
Cook Your Bread with Human Feces
God commands Ezekiel to cook bread over human dung as a sign to Israel, then relents and permits cow dung instead:
Ezekiel 4:12 (Catholic — Dar Al-Mashreq) “And eat a barley cake, and boil it in human dung before their eyes.”
Ezekiel protests, declaring his soul has never been defiled. God responds:
Ezekiel 4:15 (Catholic — Dar Al-Mashreq) “Then the Lord said to me, ‘I will give you cow dung instead of human dung, and you shall make your bread with it.’”
The command is to make the bread on dung — not merely to use it as fuel. Neither potatoes nor parchment paper are fuel when bread is placed upon them; the same logic applies here. It is the kneading of excrement into the preparation that Ezekiel found defiling.
His Little Finger is Thicker than His Father’s Penis
Rehoboam boasts in 1 Kings 12:10 that his little finger is thicker than his father’s waist. The comparison is anatomically impossible as a boast — a little finger cannot plausibly exceed a waist in thickness.
1 Kings 12:10 (NKJV) “My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.”
Louis Khalifa and Youhanna Qammar, in The Song of Songs, the Most Beautiful Song in the Universe, published by the Pontifical College of Theology, confirm that the Bible uses “hand and fingers” as a symbol for the sexual organ.
The little finger — visual illustration of the anatomical comparison
The Pontifical Faculty of Theology itself confirms this symbolic usage in its own publication:
The Song of Songs, the Most Beautiful Song in the Universe — Pontifical Faculty of Theology publication
Dung on Your Faces
Malachi 2:3 (Catholic — Dar Al-Mashreq) “Behold, I will punish your children; I will sprinkle the dung of the animals you offer me on your faces, and they will throw you out with them on the unclean dunghill.”
Father Antonious Fikry confirms that “fungus” here refers to the excrement found in the intestines of sacrificed animals — and that God threatens to cast this directly onto the faces of the priests as punishment for their hollow offerings.
How Would You Describe Your Wife Sexually?
Proverbs 5:18–19 (NKJV) “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth… Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and always be enraptured with her love.”
This is how the book of Proverbs advises a man to relate to his wife — with explicit reference to her breasts and continuous erotic intoxication described as the will of God.
Public Adultery is a Divine Punishment
2 Samuel 12:11–12 (NKJV) “Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.”
The biblical text records God commanding that David’s wives be violated publicly in broad daylight — presented not as sin but as prophetic pronouncement.
Absalom Has Sex in Public
2 Samuel 16:21–22 (NKJV) “Ahithophel said to Absalom, ‘Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he left to keep the house, so that all Israel may hear that you are hated by your father.’ So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.”
A concubine is a legitimate wife of lower status — not a mistress in the modern sense. The act is recorded as a calculated political move, rooftop, publicly visible, before the entire nation.
2 Samuel 16 — Absalom and the concubines
David Exposes His Penis in Public
2 Samuel 6:20–22 (NKJV) “Michal, Saul’s daughter, came out to meet him and said in a mocking tone, ‘How shameful was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the maids of his servants, as fools do!’ David said to her, ‘All this was for the Lord’s sake… I will be even more debased.’”
David’s public exposure is framed not as sin but as worship. He promises to do it again, more intensely, before the servant girls.
Isaac Has Sex with His Wife in Public
Genesis 26:8 (NIV / NCV) “And when he had been there a long time, it came to pass that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah his wife.”
Arabic translations have embellished this verse in a way that makes the reader wonder how caressing a wife could reveal a marital secret. What Abimelech observed was sufficient to immediately and definitively identify Rebekah as a wife — not a sister — which is the entire plot point of the passage.
Rules of Urination and Defecation
Deuteronomy 23:12–14 (NKJV) “You shall have a place outside the camp, where you may go out; and you shall have a spade among your tools, and when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it and turn and cover your refuse. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you… Therefore your camp shall be holy, lest He see any unclean thing in you and turn away from you.”
The reason given for basic sanitation is that God — depicted as physically walking through the camp — must not see excrement. The passage regulates defecation location as a matter of divine presence and ritual purity.
He Refused to Stay Inside Her so He Masturbated on the Floor
Genesis 38:9 (Catholic — Dar Al-Mashreq) “Now Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he went in to his brother’s wife, he masturbated on the ground, so that he would not give offspring to his brother.”
The ERV renders: Onan had sexual relations with Tamar, but he did not allow himself to stay inside her. The 21st Century KJV: he spilled it on the ground. The question the original source puts to any Christian father is direct: what would you say if your five-year-old daughter, raised to love the Bible, asked you to explain what “masturbated on the ground” means?
Reuben Committed Adultery with His Father’s Wife Bilhah
Genesis 35:22 (NKJV) “And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard of it.”
A concubine is a legitimate wife of lower status. This is not an affair with a servant — it is recorded incest with a legal wife of his father.
Genesis 35 — Reuben and Bilhah narrative
Sex and Fornication in the Pages of the Book of Ezekiel — Shocking Testimonies
Christian scholars testify to the pornographic nature of the Book of Ezekiel. These are not Muslim critics — they are an Orthodox Church father, a Protestant biblical scholar, a Catholic priest, a Jesuit translator, and a mainstream biblical encyclopedia.
— Prophecy and Prophets in the Old Testament, Monastery of Anbar Makar in Wadi El Natrun, pp. 26–27 “The cautious reader will be shocked by the use of the ugly, obscene language in its most abject meaning and images in addressing the people of Israel, as a representation of the people and a metaphor for the actions of the people, with shameful representations of their betrayal.”
Father Matti Al-Meskeen — testimony on Ezekiel's obscenity, pp. 26–27
He continues:
— Prophecy and Prophets in the Old Testament, p. 27 “Twenty-four chapters in which Ezekiel opens his prophecy to them, in which there is all the filth of fornication and human obscenity, this from the side of man, and all the anger and punishment with all kinds of known torments from the side of God… What we conclude from these chapters, dear reader, is that God is difficult, very difficult and terrifying, and woe and woe to whoever despises His kindness and long-suffering.”
Father Matti Al-Meskeen — continued testimony on Ezekiel's twenty-four chapters
— The Epistle of Ezekiel, Dar Al Thaqafa (trans. Hoda Bahij), p. 137 “After the genealogies in the Book of Chronicles, immediately come the blatant metaphors of Ezekiel 16 and 23, as chapters that are not recommended to be read in churches, and likewise, they are unlikely to be preached from, as they are long, may contain offensive phrases, and their expressions in some places are explicitly pornographic… In fact, it is difficult to imagine Ezekiel pouring out this torrent of prophetic erotic imagery without being subjected to severe embarrassment and disgust.”
Christopher G. H. Wright — admission that Ezekiel 16 and 23 are explicitly pornographic
— A Guide to Reading the Holy Bible, Dar Al-Mashreq, Beirut (trans. Subhi Hamwi, the Jesuit), p. 66 “Ezekiel is a man who cannot do anything as everyone else does… but he almost goes beyond good taste: see chapters 4 and 5 and some passages from his proverbs that a guard station would be ashamed of: so do not read chapters 16 or 23!”
Father Stephan Charpentier — admission that Ezekiel goes "beyond good taste"
(editor) — The Biblical Encyclopedia, Dar Al Thaqafa, Vol. 3, p. 75 “Jerome says that at the beginning and at the end of the book there are obscure parts, so… it was not allowed to be read except by those who reached the age of 30… The Book of Ezekiel was considered, along with the books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Esther, and the Song of Songs, as books that some demanded to be hidden from the common people… Zunz adds another reason, which is the desire to avoid desecrating the sacred vision at the beginning of the book.”
The Biblical Encyclopedia — Jerome's ruling restricting Ezekiel to those over age 30
Excerpts from the Masterpieces of the Book of Ezekiel
The question is not whether the passages are metaphorical. The question is whether God — in any legitimate prophetic tradition — would use sustained pornographic imagery spanning entire chapters to address a city’s idolatry.
Ezekiel 16 — The Full Passage
Ezekiel 16 (excerpted) “Your breasts swelled and your hair grew, and you were naked and bare. Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, your time is the time of love. And I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness… You played the harlot because of your name, and poured out your harlotry on every passerby… You have spread your feet for all who pass by and have multiplied your whoring. You have committed whoring with your neighbors, the Egyptians, who are thick-fleshed. You have increased your whoring to provoke me to anger… You have played the whore with the Assyrians, for you were not satisfied; so you played the whore with them, and were not satisfied again… You adulterous wife, taking strangers in place of your husband. All harlots give gifts, but you gave gifts to all your lovers, and bribed them to come to you from every side to commit adultery with you.”
Ezekiel 23 — The Two Sisters
Ezekiel 23 (excerpted) “O son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. They played the harlot in Egypt in their youth. There their breasts were tickled, and there their virginity was touched… And Oholah played the whore under me, and she loved her lovers, the mighty Assyrians… So she gave them her barrenness, to all the chosen of the children of Assyria, and she defiled herself with all those whom she loved… She did not leave her whoredoms from Egypt either, because they lay with her in her youth, and twisted her virginity collars, and poured out their whoredoms on her… But the children of Babylon came to her in the bed of love and defiled her with their whoredoms.”
— The Epistle of Ezekiel, p. 140 “The most frequently repeated word in the chapter is zana, meaning indulging in fornication, and the names associated with it. Again, the use of this expression to describe Israel’s worship of other gods was not new. But the insult of calling Israel a prostitute and a whore about twenty-one times in this chapter, especially with sexually explicit verbal images, is something that is striking.”
Christopher G. H. Wright — admission on "zana" appearing 21 times in Ezekiel 23
Nick All Night
Proverbs 7:18 (CEV) “Let’s go there and make love all night.”
The CJB, ERV, EXB, GW, GNT, ICB, ISV, NOG, and NCV all render this verse as an explicit invitation to prolonged sexual intercourse through the night. Arabic translations use “let us enjoy love” — omitting the sexual explicitness of the original entirely.
Oh Egyptian, Your Penis is Donkey-Like and Your Semen is Horse-Like
The text of Ezekiel 23:20 has embarrassed translators across traditions. The claim is not that Egyptians are lustful — rather, this is what the Christian and Jewish worlds believe about the Egyptian man as recorded in their own scripture, describing him sexually as if he were a different creature.
Ezekiel 23:20 (NIV) “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”
Eleven English translations — GW, NOG, NET, NLT, VOICE, NIRV, CEB, NIVUK, HCSB, ISV, and LEB — all confirm “genitals” and “semen/emission” in explicit anatomical language.
The question put to the Christian father: what would you say if your daughter, sitting with her Bible, asked you to explain what this verse means?
Come On, Let’s Call You
Genesis 39:12 (NET) “She grabbed him by his outer garment, saying, ‘Have sex with me!’ But he left his outer garment in her hand and ran outside.”
The ISV: Let’s have some sex! The CEV: Make love to me! Genesis 39:14 (MSG) records her accusation to the household: He tried to make love to me but I yelled as loud as I could.
God Says: My Wife is Still a Slut and a Whore
Ezekiel 23:8 (CJB) “She did not give up the whoring she had begun in Egypt, where men had sex with her, fondled her virgin nipples and flooded her with their fornication.”
The ERV: Egypt was the first lover to touch her young breasts. The NET: lovers fondled her virgin nipples there. The NABRE: men fondled her virgin nipples. The NIRV: men kissed her virgin breasts.
God Says: My Wife is a Whore to Important Men
Ezekiel 23:7 (NIV) “She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after.”
The GW, GNT, NOG, NABRE, NCV, NIRV, NLT, NLV, ESV, ESVUK, EXB, ICB, CJB, CEV, and NIVUK all render “prostitute” or “whore” for this verse, with explicit reference to the men she gave herself to.
The Lord Says: The Dirty Sons of Bitches Fucked and Played with Her Nipple
Ezekiel 23:3 (NET) “They engaged in prostitution in Egypt; in their youth they engaged in prostitution. Their breasts were squeezed there; lovers fondled their virgin nipples there.”
The NABRE: the Egyptians fondled their breasts and caressed their virgin nipples. The NCV: men touched and held their breasts. The NLT: men fondle their breasts. The NRSV and NRSVACE: their virgin bosoms were fondled.
The original source raises a linguistic point: the word “virgin” is attached not to “breasts” (which would be “nipples of the breast”) but to the nipples themselves. The author argues this may reference the female genitalia rather than the chest — since virginity resides at the place of the hymen, not the breast.
God Says: It is Permissible to Fuck Whores
Ezekiel 23:43 (NIV) “Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is.’”
The NLT: Now let them have sex with old worn-out prostitutes like these. The MSG: She’s burned out on sex! but that didn’t stop them. They kept banging on her doors night and day as men do when they’re after a whore. The NABRE, NIRV, NCV, NIVUK, and WEB all confirm the same explicit reading.
The testimonies collected across this note are not from Muslim polemicists. They are from an Orthodox Church father, a Protestant biblical scholar, a Catholic priest, a Jesuit translator, and a mainstream biblical encyclopedia — all conceding that Ezekiel’s language is explicitly pornographic, unfit for reading in churches, and historically restricted from those under thirty years of age. This is the Bible that the Church presents as the preserved Word of God.
