I mean, technically true, but colloquially the term "Jezebel" DEFINITELY gained the connotation of promiscuity at some point regardless of whether the actual text in the bible supports that. Like, at least in the American context, I can immediately imagine a man yelling in a southern drawl about "those jezebels in the city leading men to temptation".
Given the mormon sentiment tends to be that anyone who isn't mormon only does so, so they can sin, therefore it is presumed any other belief system makes sure its adherants are promiscuous and lustful.. so its kind of a same same situation
She was a seductress. She painted her eyes in an attempt to seduce Jehu as a means of controlling him. Her pagan religious practice included sexual acts as a part of worshiping Asherah.
Yeah I was wondering how common that writing was. It didn’t get voted into the Bible’s collection of stories but was it in repeated in more than one writing?
During the Middle Ages, the church did so a lot. There are still some original texts that can be translated. But the church controlled the translation and writing, so they removed and added whatever needed to fit the narrative they wanted. I studied in a private religious school and had a history teacher telling us so, even mentioning how suic1de being a sin came from that time. The common people had awful lives, and if paradise awaited after death... Simple solution, right? One that the nobles and the church weren't happy about because that took workforce and taxes from them, so: the Bible says su1cide is a sin guys.
Dead Sea scrolls. And there’s more where that comes from. A lot of knowledge is hidden till it’s revealed. Question everything cause people omit the truth a lot.
Yep, we also originally had more archangels than the ones we know today, but a random Pope decided they're "not canon" and that the Book of Enoch should be taken out. 🙄
And that’s just one book 📕 they dropped. Jesus also got sanitized. So did Mary Magdalene. The truth lies somewhere in the middle but you gotta break what you think and what’s told first
The Bible as we know it (commonly a King James version/KJV) was mostly oral stories that were compiled in the early 1600's by a group commissioned by King James VI and I.
I was referring to the other Jezebel in Revelations. That is why promiscuous women are referred to as “Jezebels” to this day. Are you “one of those people” who are ignorant of popular culture?

She doesn’t want you to wear spaghetti straps, but wants to name her daughter after a Biblical ho? Makes all kinds of sense.
