Be advised of a healthy dose of sarcasm in Jack's latest Sigma Frame post on prostitution.
I'm going to suggest I'm neutral to his arguments because he leaves out something critical: We must distinguish between what we do within the Covenant versus what others do outside of it. Secular western society in general, and American society in particular, has no moral grounds for hindering much of anything via prohibition of law. The US Constitution offers no grounds other than mere popularity for vice laws in particular. The sole reason those laws exist is because governments are reluctant to regulate and tax certain things due to imaginary social moral boundaries.
Our governments are hopelessly pagan. Our ruling class is generally feminist in the sense that feminist idolatry is what they are forcing upon us. It has been one long train of destroying what little moral boundaries once existed. In themselves, those moral boundaries were never biblical, so God has shown no interest in defending them. His wrath is falling on America because it was never under His Covenant; particular moral codes outside the Covenant are meaningless.
In that sense, I could care less if prostitution were legalized. It won't make America any better or worse in God's eyes.
We already know how the Covenant requires us to approach human sexuality and where the boundaries are. If you transgress them, you lose Covenant protection. If you repent, you still have some mitigation available, but the problem with most sexual sin is that it leaves you permanently defiled for the rest of this life. The Covenant is an alien world for Americans.
