The
Act of Sex is Unclean…
...Although the act of sex is definitely a
loving gift from a loving God for humanity, it is interesting to note how the
bible interprets it in relation to worship. What is shocking is, this lovely gift
apparently one cannot have it and worship at the same time since it’s unclean
for example Ex. 19:10 …when God informs Moses to tell the people of Israel to
get ready for worship one of the
prerequisite for worship was abstinence from sex. Moses said “…be ready
by the day after tomorrow and don’t have sexual intercourse in the meantime…”
Lev 15:16-18 “…when a man has an
emission of semen he must bath his whole body he is unclean. After sexual
intercourse both the man and the woman must have a bath…” Lev 22:4 “…any priest
is unclean if he touches an emission of semen…”
Deut 23:10 “...if a man becomes unclean
because he has a wet dreams during the night, he is to go outside the camp and
stay there towards the evening he is to wash himself and at sunset he may come
back into camp…” I wonder if men have control of wet dreams…
2 Sam 11:11- Uriah refuses to go home
and sleep with his wife “… how could I go home, eat and drink and sleep with my
wife? By all that’s sacred, I swear that I could never do such a thing…” 1 Sam
21:5 “… I have no ordinary bread on hand only holy bread; if the men have abstained
from women, you may eat some of that…”
No wonder Jesus said “…it is what comes
out of a person that makes him unclean...” Mk. 7:15. Why, is the woman is declared
unclean and she receives the semen…or is it because as the semen is coming out it’s
already unclean. If that is the case even the product thereof is unclean….
Sooo... what is unclean the sex or the
fluids?…, Can’t figure it out….
that's interesting
