1 | Is this law still binding? If so, how? | Bible general Archive 4 | 5282jt | 218119 | ||
Hello. In answer to part 1 of your question: Actually if a man and a woman deliberately had sexual relations during her menstrual impurity, they were cut off in death. (Le 18:19; 20:18) The prohibiting of sexual union during menstruation probably contributed to health, as did many of the laws, perhaps preventing, for instance, the occurrence of inflammation in the genital area, simple urethritis. The Israelites also may have been reminded of the sanctity of blood (Deut 11:23-25) (Acts 14:19, 20) by the Law’s regulations involving menstruation or blood flow. These rules were not discriminatory against women, for men were subject to uncleanness by discharges to which they were prone. (Le 15:1-17) Especially did regulations concerning menstruation show God’s consideration for womankind and a loving Christian husband, would consider how his wife felt about having relations while bleeding. The Christian husband, though he is not under the Law (Ro 6:14; Eph 2:11-16), also does well to consider his wife’s cycles and vicissitudes, dwelling with her “according to knowledge” and assigning her honor “as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one.”—1Pe 3:7. I hope this helps? As to part 2 of your question, I don't know off hand. It is curious, but probably not of great importants? |

Dear 5282, Welcome to the forum! Very well said! Especially the part about consideration for womankind, and how a loving husband should respect his wife as a weaker vessel and to show her respect and kindness during her time. It truly makes me sad that such a question is asked in the first place. Perhaps I'm going to be viewed as prudish, but in my opinion, it shows just how far humans are form godly grace toward one another. John |
