“I’d spend the remaining nine days of my ‘impurity’ living in the guest room and using the guest bathroom (Leviticus 15:28), making sure to keep all my sheets, blankets, and clothes separate for washing (vv. 20-23).” Period is viewed “unclean”?

“In The Red Tent, menstruation is portrayed as a time of rest, repose, and female bonding as the women of the house of Jacob gather together each month to mark the new moon and the arrival of their cycles beneath a secluded red tent. While many cultures use huts or tents for the purpose of secluding menstruating women, there is no solid biblical or archaeological evidence to suggest this happened among tent-dwelling family groups in Bronze Age mesopotamia, though it is certainly possible.” But we can actually feel it from The Red Tent.

“When a woman is niddah, she is prohibited from having any physical contact whatsoever with men, including her husband. The time of separation varies from  tradition to tradition, but most Orthodox Jews, like Ahava, observe it for a total of twelve days.” During the period, as we all know nowadays, women are easily emotional and sensitive. There is no any comforts or physical touches, such as hugs, with their husbands for seven or even twelve days. How suffering they are.

What does purity mean in the life of a Christian? What happens when we make mistakes? Why is it important for Christians to be pure?
Today I'm inviting you to step into a discussion on the importance of purity in the lives of Christians.

In preparing to write this article, I first reviewed Dictionary.com 's definition of pure:

pure: free from anything of a different, inferior, or contaminating kind

It's interesting how the word "pure" is a positive, wonderful word when it comes to drinking water to sustain our bodies. But somehow, the same world that wouldn't think of drinking contaminated water will often ridicule people who desire to remain pure in their relationships.

Purity in the life of a Christian means making the proper choices to be without sin in your life. So no matter your life status, single, married, divorced, remarried... God wants us to be free from contamination in our relationships.

If you're familiar with the Bible story of David and Bathsheba, then you may know that David committed adultery with Bathsheba, then murdered her husband. And we have a detailed account of David's sinful choice and the circumstances that followed. The following is an excerpt from my free ebook, Outside the Zone:

David made mistakes. A huge mistake. He committed adultery and then murdered a man over it. There is no scale of sin degree in God's eyes. David was still a man after God's own heart because when he did sin, his heart immediately repented.

Do right, but when you fail, not if, but when, turn immediately to the Lord again.

When we make mistakes in the area of purity, we have the freedom as Christians to make our hearts right with God through repentance, as evidenced in the example of David.
Psalm 51 is prefaced with the words "To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba." I would encourage you to read this entire Psalm, but I've highlighted just a few of the verses below:

Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

In regards to the importance of purity in the life of Christians, I love what Paul says about the reason for purity:
"How far is too far?"

The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. I Tim. 1:5

"Is it wrong that I/we do this?"
In February of this year, my pastor preached a sermon series entitled " Great Sexpectations" and the four week series covered what the Bible says about God's plan for sex and marriage- one man and one woman for life. Interestingly enough, I've grown up in church and I've heard loads of sermons about how wrong sexual sin is. And it is wrong- the Bible is clear. But I honestly can't remember hearing any sermons like the ones my pastor preached, especially the message entitled "Walk the Line." I highly encourage anyone reading this post to head over to the church website for this awesome series if you'd like more answers to questions like:

"Can I (fill in the blank)?"

I'm so blessed today to be a part of a group of Christian bloggers uniting in a discussion on purity. We'd love it if you'd join the conversation and read more posts like this one, which you can find right here.

Do conversations about purity engage your heart on the subject? I'd love to read your thoughts in the comments.

“The book of Leviticus relays specific instructions from God regarding what a woman must do during her monthly flow of blood. Most of these instructions appear in the context of ritual cleanliness, or purity, which should be distinguished from the modern concept of cleanliness as hygiene and understood instead as a ceremonial or ritualistic purity that allows full participation in religious life.” Does the “impurity” idea which came up from people in the old times because of their lack of awareness of personal hygiene and lack of better ways to deal with the blood?

Corinthians 6: 18 → “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, against their own body”

Timothy 5:22 → “Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure”

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 → “It is God’s will that you should be sanctioned: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in  way that is holy and honorable, nt in a passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God”
