Psalm 51:2-7
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned , and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest , and be clear when thou judgest .
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Corinthians 2:12-13
12 Now we have received , not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak , not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth ; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

We are no longer under the old laws. So even though I try to keep clean, to not touch roadkill, or to use sanitary pads for my monthly period, it is for sanitary reasons- not to keep the laws of Moses. They had to do things physically in the old testament because it represented what we now do spiritually in the new testament. So they had to be physically clean because it represented us being spiritually clean. Romans 7:1-4 tells me that I am dead to the laws of Moses and now belong to another. And Matthew 28:18 tells me I am only to obey Christ- not Moses or any other. In Mark 9, around verse 7 the Father Himself tells me we are no longer to listen to the laws and the prophets (Moses and Elijah) but only to Christ- His Son.

Wash your hands before you eat is a command. If one does not understand the reason behind it could be a harsh one. Here some are to find out the reason. Here some think washing your hands would make you legalist though...

And Isaiah 26:17-19 As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we in your presence, Lord. We were with child, we writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the people of the world have not come to life. But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise—let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy—your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.
This is indeed a great mystery: but Paul speaks concerning Christ and the church, like Isaiah spoke concerning Israel and the gentile nations when Israel was supposed to be the light.

That was very creative.
Hooey, but creative.
The command means what it says and says what it means.
For Israel, under the Law, whosoever toucheth any thing that she (a menstruating woman) sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
Good grief.

I would give you a rep point, but I am restricted. Seems I haven't given enough to people that I disagree with. LOL
That sounds good for husband-wife situations... How about out in public? Do you try to find out if a chair has been sat in by a woman with a discharge? If the answer is yes, or uncertain, is waiting until that evening good enough? Suppose one was in a society that rarely washed clothes, and bathed, like, one a week... Would waiting till the end of the week be OK? My impression from the law was to wash soon, make an effort to wash quickly...

But not to forget Christ is the Word of God who spoke through Moses. He came not to abolish what He spoke through Moses but to fulfill, as in clarifying and to complete.
In Mark 9:7, the Father tells us we have the Word of God coming in the flesh so we may listen to Him in first person instead of the spokesperson.

I'm thinking the law would work well in a Torah following community... I'm guessing the women there probably stay with other issueing women at that time... Could lead to odd situations on a public bus, though... Excuse me, ma'am, are you unclean? My impression was that the washing was wanted as soon as possible... Or was that just my reading of it?
I just can't believe this post could be possible by people created by God!! "we are no longer under old law" for instance. So blocks of scripture are wiped out, just like that! We have a new world (without the old God?) because of sanitary pads. Obeying Christ is to not obey Moses. Doing things physically is out, spiritual obedience outlaws any physical following through. A part of you is dead through Christ, the part that could read scripture if it is in the Old Testament. God told you personally not to listen to anything Moses or Elijah has to say. Being physically clean has absolutely nothing at all to do with being spiritually clean, nothing physical should enter into worship or God, it is strictly spiritual. Oh My!!!!
When Christ explained that a good neighbor was one who physically actually helped the Samaritan, you would say to just pray for him and walk on, for the physical has no meaning. When Christ talked of listening to Moses, Christ was just beating his gums. When Christ said that if you know Moses you know Me, that was nothing?

Actually, I got so interested in this idea I spent hour upon hour reading everything I could get my hands on about people trying to do just this very thing. It was interesting in that usually it was people who said Christ wasn't the Christ that scripture told them of that was doing it, and often lived in the middle ages. There are colonies of them living today in New York that are studied. One Protestant lady tried to fit the legalistic Torah keeping into protestant surroundings with disastrous results.
What I found was that when this is done as bible prescribes (with the heart and mind, not just legalistically) it actually works in a wonderful way. In fact, during the dark ages when the knowledge of God was only through the little the Catholic Church allowed peasants to know, it was what kept God alive in the world, especially when the church became corrupt during that time. These were the people given the responsible jobs like overseeing farms, others could not be trusted.
Those colonies of people doing this today have varying results with mainly legalistic followers having the results Christ talked of with the Pharisees, and those following scripture having mostly wonderful results. There are always people within the colony who rebel, though. It always takes a group working together.
One of the most interesting books was written by a Torah keeping Jew who suddenly understood that Christ who lived with us on earth actually was the one scripture told of. The Protestant Church she joined asked her to discard every way she had worshipped God, before. She had grown up relating every single thing she did from her morning routine, what she ate, how she dressed---every single thing in her life to God. Now, she was asked to never do that. She finally rebelled, and even started a group to join her in including her day to day living into worship of Christ.

And another option is to simply believe the Word of God, spoken by the Son
in these last days (Heb 1:1-2) through the NT writers that
the law has been set aside (Heb 7:18-19)
and replaced with the law of Christ (Mt 22:37-39; 1Co 9:20-21; Gal 6:2; 5:6)
which fulfills (accomplishes) all that in the law of Christ (Mt 22:40; Ro 13:8-10; Gal 6:2).
