Subject: is it a sin to have sex on your period |
Bible Note: Hello Beja, I'm not saying that God doesn't have a certain standard of behavior He expects from us. To the contrary (Eph. 4:1). However, I was not implying this in regards to our salvation, but in sanctification. Please don't hear what I'm not saying in regards to Lev. 18. How would this passage apply to the Church? Again, I honestly don't think it would in reference to the context. While there may be principles there, I don't think the (direct)application is to or for the Church! Am I wrong? I think we're getting a bit astray from the original question, "is it a sin to have sex on your period"? I do not find any NT prohibition to such and would therefore leave this in the realm of James 4:17, "...to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." (NASB) I simply don't find scripture dogmatic on this issue and see it as a matter between husband and wife:-) (cf 1 Cor. 7) To the contrary, I do not believe bestiality is acceptable in any way for a Christian! I note the OT prohibition against it in Lev. 20:15-16 and the applicable principle being timeless as it's consequence is death. It is also outside of any definition of marriage ordained by God!
