Actually, I do not take these words out of historical context. My study uses excellent time-tested Bible study aids, and not some "covid-in-the-basement internet scholar." What I wrote is confirmed by the best authors.
For example, Paul had in mind Genesis 19 when he wrote Romans chapter 1. Had Paul written comments like this to the Corinthians, then I would agree with you. I Cor chap 6 confirms this. Paul directly referred to temple prostitutes in verses 6.9, 6.11, and 6.15-6.20.
The semantics I use are found in the Bible and contemporary Greek writings. What you have written about me is inaccurate.
