YOU PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT UR RELIGION. PLS READ.

Leviticus 15:19-33

19 “Whenever a woman has her menstrual period, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her during that time will be unclean until evening.
20 Anything on which the woman lies or sits during the time of her period will be unclean.
21 If any of you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
22 If you touch any object she has sat on, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
23 This includes her bed or any other object she has sat on; you will be unclean until evening if you touch it.
24 If a man has sexual intercourse with her and her blood touches him, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him. He will remain unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will be unclean.
25 “If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is unrelated to her menstrual period, or if the blood continues beyond the normal period, she is ceremonially unclean. As during her menstrual period, the woman will be unclean as long as the discharge continues.
26 Any bed she lies on and any object she sits on during that time will be unclean, just as during her normal menstrual period.
27 If any of you touch these things, you will be ceremonially unclean. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
28 “When the woman’s bleeding stops, she must count off seven days. Then she will be ceremonially clean.
29 On the eighth day she must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons and present them to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
30 The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify her before the LORD for the ceremonial impurity caused by her bleeding.
31 “This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.
32 These are the instructions for dealing with anyone who has a bodily discharge—a man who is unclean because of an emission of semen
33 or a woman during her menstrual period. It applies to any man or woman who has a bodily discharge, and to a man who has sexual intercourse with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.”

Who corrected the old testament??
The white men did, and this is where the problem began!
Sucre6:
A menteuating woman is considered unclean according to the old testament, that was why when Jacob fleed from laban with his two wives and laban realized that the gods he worships have gone, he gave them to chase and caught them on the way traveling, laban daughter was menstruating or pretended to be menstruating and was seated in a bowl, but she had hidden the gods inside the bowl so the father won't notice, her father commanded her to stand up so he could search where she was seated and she told the dad she can't stand because she was menstruating, and the father apologized and left

So according to this Bible event, menstruation is not ordinary and the old testament considered women on their menstruation unclean, although most of the old testament rules where corrected in the new testament

Eg, in the old testament, eating of pigs Is considered wrong and bad because pig 🐖 is an unclean animal, but the new testament suggests that what we put in our mouth doesn't make us unclean but what comes out of our mouth.

So that's it

The truth is that the people that came out of Egypt were not monotheistic
Yahweh was one of the deities of Canaan and the Israelites at various times worshipped various gods the emergence of One God was a way of achieving political control and the story of Yahweh changed with time from a blood thirsty,genocidal,misogynistic deity that killed the enemies of the Israelites to one who loves all humanity
Yahweh was a deity that never had any business with black Africans

What are you still doing in such a church? Most white garment churches, if not all, practice spiritism, diabolism, mysticism and use Bible to cover their Satanic activities.

If the flow continues for more than 10days, then go the hospital or pharmacy, they will give you a drug for it, that is if it's not a spiritual attack from your white garment church.

MODIFIED: All of you quoting can go ahead and say whatever you like, continue to practice your witchraft, but you can't stop me from speaking the truth. I made a mistake in the past of listening to a white garment priest, he almost made me go astray with strange practices. As I stepped into the inner Chambers of the church, I saw a goat tied up to be sacrificed. I was told to use egg for some stuff. That is satanism and not biblical. Thank God I was too strong to be Bewitched, because many of you are weak spiritually and have been Bewitched, you will forever remain in darkness without knowing. My dad and his sibling were once members of a white garment church, he left as soon as he saw red flags. Let me stop there.

Good evening my brothers and sisters
There is something I still don't understand and I need a clear and better explanation.

I attend a white garment church and the doctrine does not allow us to sit with the congregation because of the stain, there is a place packaged for us to sit and the corner of the church....
The issue right now is that my menstruation started last week Sunday and I don't know why it hasn't stop till this present moment.
I'm just thinking if I should go to church tomorrow because I don't want to sit at the corner of the church tomorrow because people might be suspicious something is wrong with me.
I haven't seen anything about this in the scripture, I just want to know if it's a sin to sit with the congregation while on period...
why should menstruation be shamed in your church?

I just can't

Peace be to you my dear sister. Your church must be Community of Yahweh (Sabbath) cos they are the people that strictly adhere to Jewish customs/Mosaic laws. The only difference is that they believe in Jesus or so they claim. However, you must know that Jesus is love. He came on earth to show us grace that supersedes law. This your question was answered when the woman with the issue of blood touched his garment and obtained healing. Under the Jewish customs, she was ceremonially unclean. This means she was not supposed to even be in a gathering of people or even come near the "ultra clean" Jesus. Imagine the shock on people's face when a woman of such nature even got close enough to touch a Rabbi and instead of the Rabbi to rebuke her, He praised her for her faith. Jesus Christ has called us to His love and wants a personal relationship with us deviod of religious sentiments and laws. He would never keep you apart cos of your menstrual flow. If a woman with a flow for 12 years i.e 12 years of being unclean in the sight of men could be described as having a powerful faith in God and got her miracle then nothing should stop you from holding on to Jesus Christ. Nobody should make you feel less of yourself. Christ loves you.

You didn't tell us why you went to the church or why you had to be moved to inner chambers to see a tied goat. Maybe your case was so delicate and you wanted babalawo service.

As much as everyone have the liberty to say whatever they like, ignorance is when you refuse to understand why people do certain things, and instead result to cursing or attributing all sorts just because of what your gods in altars have told you is ridiculous.

We believe we serve a living and unchangeable God, no matter what, He will remain the same, and nothing about him ever changes.

I WILL ONLY USE THE DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS OF GOD AS TOUCHING WHAT YOU ASK AS A REFERENCE WITHOUT ANY INPUT PERSONALLY.

And we cannot argue that he specifically gave these instructions in the bible to the Israelites.
God speaking in Lev 15:1-2
15 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When any man has an unusual bodily discharge, such a discharge is unclean.

Leviticus 15:19-23
‘When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean. Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

Ezekiel 18:5-6
“But if a man is righteous and practices justice and righteousness, and does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her menstrual period

Ezekiel 36:17
Verse Concepts
“Son of man, when the house of Israel was living in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds; their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

WHAT JESUS SAID ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF GOD

Mat 5: 17 - 21
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

THE CONDITION TO SET ASIDE ONE IS STATED

20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

John 4:34
Jesus explained, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.

MY TAKE -
You will understand that God does not joke with uncleanliness and discharge, that's why he specifically gives instructions when a man tries to approach Him.

The processional hymn of celestial states; Hymn 1,2,3: 1. The angels of angels full of joy in heaven - 2. Kindle the light, holy from heaven above -3. Oh come unto the Lord, oh come unto the Lord
Then the pledge - Oh Christ o my King, I will worship thee, my power and my light holy thou holiest.

The above explains how we approach Christ while at the entrance to sanctify us with His light while He presents us before the Father (The Father is Holy, no uncleanliness comes closer, hence Jesus is the mediator whom we have acknowledged as our King and savior.

Revelation 3:4
But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.

Revelation 5:6
Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Rev 8: 3 Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel.

EVEN ISAIAH AS A PROPHET - Had to be sanctified
Isaiah 6:5 Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”

JESUS WHEN TOUCHED BY THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD KNOWS SOMETHING LEFT HIM HENCE THE EXCLAMATION

Luke 8: 45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.


(Note please, reading from 30, you will see that he was in the midst of many, and many were touching him and were receiving miracles as their faith would permit, but immediately she touched him, he felt something different.

Exodus 19:10-15
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, and be ready against the third day: for the third day, the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

NOW, IS THE ISSUE A SIN? NO
The Issue of blood remains a sign of the curse God place on the woman GENESIS 3: 16 - Note also that the death on the cross did not take away the sign of the curse but the guilt of the curse so that we might appear blameless before the Father.
Based on the above, celestial was instructed by God not o appear before him in your blood, not to remind Him of the anger and curse He placed on man. God does not forget our sins, He chooses through Christ not to remember them, as long as the mediator is before us, we are set right before Him.

Galatians 3:24
So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

HEBREWS 10: 16“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My LAWS in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.” 17Then He adds: “Their sins and LAWLESS acts I will remember no more.” 18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed

And according to this Hebrew, God's law, no exclusion (according to Jesus' words in Mat 5:17) has been inscribed in our heart, and through the Grace we now receive through HIS blood, we appear blameless before HIM, irrespective of our sins, or what man says. For we are not justified through works, but by FAITH.
Hebrews 8:12
For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more."

Hebrews 10:18
And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.


Hence in almost all of our forgiveness hymns, we address to Christ, and we seek His power and grace to overcome sin
Hymn 11 e.g
Jesus here we come, with our uncleanness, forgive us our sin and bless us, gracious Lord
miserable we are, King of divine light, and glorify us Lord.


Hence why the whole world see us as of the devil, judging us for who we are (just as Christ said to the people that were about to stone the prostitute), we are helpless and filthy, we only look up to Christ for redemption, for by work no man will be saved.

Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.

Gal 2: 16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.



Halleluyah!

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, and be ready against the third day: for the third day, the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

NOW, IS THE ISSUE A SIN? NO
The Issue of blood remains a sign of the curse God place on the woman GENESIS 3: 16 - Note also that the death on the cross did not take away the sign of the curse but the guilt of the curse so that we might appear blameless before the Father.
Based on the above, celestial was instructed by God not o appear before him in your blood, not to remind Him of the anger and curse He placed on man. God does not forget our sins, He chooses through Christ not to remember them, as long as the mediator is before us, we are set right before Him.

Galatians 3:24
So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

HEBREWS 10: 16“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My LAWS in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.” 17Then He adds: “Their sins and LAWLESS acts I will remember no more.” 18And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed

And according to this Hebrew, God's law, no exclusion (according to Jesus' words in Mat 5:17) has been inscribed in our heart, and through the Grace we now receive through HIS blood, we appear blameless before HIM, irrespective of our sins, or what man says. For we are not justified through works, but by FAITH.
Hebrews 8:12
For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more."

Hebrews 10:18
And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.


Hence in almost all of our forgiveness hymns, we address to Christ, and we seek His power and grace to overcome sin
Hymn 11 e.g
Jesus here we come, with our uncleanness, forgive us our sin and bless us, gracious Lord
miserable we are, King of divine light, and glorify us Lord.


Hence why the whole world see us as of the devil, judging us for who we are (just as Christ said to the people that were about to stone the prostitute), we are helpless and filthy, we only look up to Christ for redemption, for by work no man will be saved.

Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.

Gal 2: 16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.



Halleluyah!

The truth is that the people that came out of Egypt were not monotheistic
Yahweh was one of the deities of Canaan and the Israelites at various times worshipped various gods the emergence of One God was a way of achieving political control and the story of Yahweh changed with time from a blood thirsty,genocidal,misogynistic deity that killed the enemies of the Israelites to one who loves all humanity
Yahweh was a deity that never had any business with black Africans

Hummmm another perspective to things.

I wonder how long it took you to put this together, but well-done!

A complete and enlightening answer.


I didn't have to break a sweat, and it was just a continuous typing as the "Word" Himself inspires, for we are just a tool in His hands, taking no glory in the power of His impartation, for without Him we are absolutely nothing.

The simple truth is that religion is used to enslave and govern.
The Hebrew story was appropriated and modified to European needs and became an official state religion for centuries before export to us
You can see the modification in our white garment churches. A successful religion convinces you to delete your cultural identity
No religion has been more successful in that regard than Islam persuading millions of Africans to Arabize themselves and delete their history and identity
The icing on that cake is they must go to Mecca and learn Arabic otherwise God won't listen to them

It is necessary therefore to study the history of the Hebrew and Mecca people going back 4000 years.
If you do you would realise both Christianity and Islam are scams and no better than what our ancestors had the main difference being ownership. No need to venerate Mecca or Jerusalem
or cock.and bull stories like Manna from heaven
One good thing about the bible is when. It was written not only its writers were literate
There are surviving writing s from them that help provide a balanced perspective of what life was like in that era and they are still available
Imagine if in 1000 years the writing of Nnamdi Kanu are gathered into a "holy book " and people from a religion around that

But u don’t have to go to Mecca to learn Arabic. I think we need to check back on our roots. Before now we pray to a God in different ways and I believe that’s same with other religions.

Person worshiping God thru Ifa doesn’t mean he is not worshiping God, it’s only a medium of worship. So also other religions.
Re: Is It A Sin To Sit With The Congregation While On Menstruation? by 0monnak0da: 1:07pm On Mar 06, 2023
Islam and Judaism sought to be the government where they arose
They were the legislative and the judiciary ,in the name of God
Such a system needed to push the narrative of ONE GOD
Having the power to issue death sentences ,BY STONING, in the name of God
Would we accept any such death sentences today?
Maybe
Ask Deborah Samuel?
Both religions come from the same location
Europeans just repackaged it so they can eat anything they like and marry one wife
Not wearing a cap in church is European culture. They do not wear hats indoors.
Jesus would have worn a YARMULKE inside the temple or synagogue like other Jewshats

Simple question
Jesus did not speak Greek
Why was the New Testament written in Greek?
It was written for Europeans
Paul did not write any letter to Egyptians or Africans

Did I say you need to go to Mecca to learn Arabic?
I was talking about Hajj.
That is a scam that the people of Mecca were running even before Islam.
It is business
Why must you learn Arabic at all?
Why can't you worship.I. Your own language
A lot of people just memorize things they do not understand.
That is enslavement
