So, i've always considered myself a christian.. I've read the bible, im baptised methodist, I pray before every meal, and before I go to sleep.. I believe in my heart there is a god.. But lately i've been getting deeper into this religion, and the good book is never wrong, right?
Leviticus 15: 19-24
And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
Judges 19
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
The list of disgusting things can go on and on, and im beginning to question my faith.. Well, not so much question it, more on the lines of striding away from it... Im the kind of person that wont trade humanitarism for religion..
Are you part of the Levitical Priesthood?
The bible often "Describes" something that happened in history, but that doesn't always mean God "Perscribes" it.
