Can you give us some History & Science of what it was like in the world before God gave the Law for women to act a little sanitary/clean during their menstruation? What was it like 3000 years ago?
Ptolemy wrote:Leviticus 21:17-20 forbids the following from entering the temple to worship or acting as priests:
16. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
17. Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19. Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20. Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23. Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24. And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
First this only has to do with the Levitical Priesthood who was of the generations of Aaron.
Second the
lamb to be sacrificed also had to be without blemish. Same as our Lord Jesus Christ who was the un-blemished
lamb sacrificed at Calvary.
Do you see something similar here from the very beginning?
I’ve been doing some cyber research to respond to the “aresenkoitai” male prostitute or homosexual argument, however, until I’ve gotten sufficient info to post a response, I post the following.
Your time would be better spent researching Jesus Christ!
