March 8th: Leviticus 15, Psalm 117-118 and 2 Corinthians 10-11

Unclean.

Being unclean wasn't the same as being sinful. Is that a wrong conclusion? If that's correct, it doesn't make the God the tyrant that some paint him to be. Becoming "unclean" was natural. It was a normal part of life. Sex, menstruation, blisters, shrimp and bacon all are fall under this heading.

God is holy, "set apart." These things weren't to be mixed with holy. Right?

Looking at this list, most of the things were capable of either causing sickness, or were privacy issues that God was protecting the individual from embarrassment.

I could be way off on this... let me know.
