1 | is it a sin to have sex on your period | 1 Cor 7:3 | Freeatlast | 224010 | ||
Beja Lev 18:19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. This verse appears to be pretty straight forward as an act which is forbidden it is very specific in it's wording. The use of the word nakedness in this verse is used to signify (Shame Disgrace Blemish) of the woman. Where the following verse is in respect to the man which commits such an act. Lev 15:24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. The only reason I could find for the uncleanness of the man would be because of the importance God places upon the blood and its defiling characteristics. (Word study on Blood) example Lev 17:11 (FOR THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD): and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Lev 17:14 (FOR IT IS THE LIFE OF ALL FLESH); the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. The remaining of the chapter gives to us the specific reason that this and other sexual practices spoken of in this chapter should not be engaged in aside from the actual defiling nature of the act. But rather the consequences of such an act. The question would then be would the reason given by God still apply to any nation which practices such abomination today? Because the nations before Israel were spued out by the land. While we are Christians and not under the law the moral law still applies does it not? Lev 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: Lev 18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. Lev 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: Lev 18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) Lev 18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. Lev 18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Lev 18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

2 | Age of accountability? | OT general | Freeatlast | 223964 | ||
I find when David says in 2 Sam.12:23 "can I bring him back again?" he is referring to life, so when he says "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." he is referring to death and the grave. To assume he means heaven based on the fact David was going to heaven is nothing more than an assumption. As far as the point at which a child reaches accountability is a debatable question. But in looking at the issue logically at what point in a child's life does that child reach the point of manhood? We are Christians and our heritage as Christians is based in Judaism. We worship the God of the Jews as well as the Messiah of the Jews so why would we not also understand that the becoming of age and responsibility was at his Bar-Mitzvah. Not that we have to perform a Bar-Mitzvah but only the recognizing the age of 13 as the age of accountability. A 13-year-old Jewish boy, considered an adult and responsible for his moral and religious duties. Jewish ritual celebrating a boy's 13th birthday and his entry into the community of Judaism. It usually takes place during a Sabbath service, when the boy reads from the Torah and may give a discourse on the text. (popularly translated as "son of the commandment"). The attaining by a boy of his religious adulthood and responsibility on reaching the age of 13; thereafter, he is counted in the prayer quorum (Minyan). The Mishnah (Avot 5:21) states that 13 is the age for observing the commandments (mitsvot). The term bar mitsvah ( "bar mitzvah" in the usual English spelling) appears five times in the Babylonian Talmud (BK 15a [twice]; BM 96a; San. 84b; Men. 93b), but in each case the reference is merely to someone obligated to fulfill the precepts of Judaism. The term utilized in the Talmud for a 13-year-old boy is bar onshin --- one who is responsible and punishable for his actions. This relates to the legal distinction that at age 13 the male child becomes liable for his own transgressions; no longer does his father bear this responsibility.
