Medically there are reports that state there is no risk in having intercourse during menstrual cycles/Pregnancy. I believe some people aren't being honest either and afraid of what their friends may think of them if they tell the intricate details of their intimate acts. In fact this question is a hush hush one because What an individual does with his/her body is strictly private and shouldn't be openly displayed in a public forum for people not mature enough to respond appropriately.
Nevertheless, the Biblical reference to it does in fact exist and Philo was right about it. I will post the scripture that speaks on it.
Sex During Menstruation
You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is in her customary impurity. (Leviticus 18:19)
Indeed the marriage bed is undefiled (Hebrews 13:4), but there is something that can defile the marriage bed - segxwal intercourse during menstruation. Even though Leviticus 18:19 is in the law, and Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes (Romans 10:4), it nonetheless reveals that sex during menstruation is an abomination to God.
Several other sins are listed off in Leviticus 18, sex with near of kin, marrying a woman and her sister, adultery, idolatry, homosegxwality, and bestiality. These are all identified as things that defile and are things that God hates, as the following verses declare:
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God. (Leviticus 18:24-30)
Before this law was given to Moses (Leviticus 18:1), the nations and their land had already been defiled by these things, and the land had already vomited out nations that practiced them. This makes it clear, that these practices, which includes sex during menstruation, are, according to God, evil (i.e. sinful) and He viewed them as evil before the law was given to Moses.
Furthermore, the decree God gave the Israelites for anyone who had sex during the menstrual cycle was death.
If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from their people. (Leviticus 20:18)
Now, some may wonder about Leviticus 15:19-24, 32-33.
If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything that she lies on during her impurity shall be unclean; also everything that she sits on shall be unclean. Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. And whoever touches anything that she sat on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. If anything is on her bed or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. And if any man lies with her at all, so that her impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean. (Leviticus 15:19-24)
This is the law for one who has a discharge, and for him who emits semen and is unclean thereby, and for her who is indisposed because of her customary impurity, and for one who has a discharge, either man or woman, and for him who lies with her who is unclean. (Leviticus 15:32-33)
Is the issue here having sex, or simply lying down with a woman during this time? It appears to be the latter. In Leviticus 20:18, five chapters later, sex is definitely the context, and the practice is seriously condemned. Here, in Leviticus 15, there is no such language of condemnation, but simply an uncleanness for seven days, and not even a sin-offering for the man is required.
Thus, for a practical application for today, it is not that a man can't sleep (sleep, that is) with his wife during her time, or even enjoy her Bosom s (Proverbs 5:19 "at all times"). It's the segxwal intercourse and the exposure of the flow of blood that God forbids (Leviticus 20:18). | Posted: at 9-06-2010 04:48 AM (13 years ago) | Upcoming | |
