Bible Question: Sex during menstrual period and Bathsheba's cleansing: It's mentioned twice in Leviticus not to. Even though this is a little gross, is it sin? Also, how did Bathsheba do her cleansing before David summoned her? Are these legalistic rituals or are they still to be followed? |
Bible Answer: I think that by some (probably orthodox Jews) maybe it is sin; But in Mat 23:25 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." Jesus seems to indicate that ceremonial cleanness is useless, and this is what the law requires- but we are not under the law, but grace. Coming in contact with menstrual blood through sexual contact to me is a SUPERFICIAL uncleanness that can be washed away with water... Jesus seems to say that the INWARD cleanness is the critical issue with God (and the outsidse will follow) I hope that helps...I have been pondering on this for several days! God bless you and keep you. Lightknight- IHS |
