I find the old king James version has less distortions to God's word than any of the revised versions..there is a history that goes with the way the bible translations have been distorted..now to get back to the original question...do you know any old testament examples of how God has told us to get rid of filth? does anybody know of any?

There is a law concerning filth
Deuteronomy 23: 13-14
And thou shalt have a paddle upon the weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee;
For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy; that He see no unclean thing in thee,and turn away from thee.
Pretty round about way to say when you relieve yourself dig a whole and cover it up, Now, what do we know that covers a multitude of sin ( filth) oh yea it is love. *_*

As I think they law deals with the outward filth. There are laws about if you have blemishes or spots -- if a woman is having her time -- if a man has emissions in the night -- all things that you must cleanse yourself from -- you are put outside the camp.
Jesus deals with the inside of the cup. Calling us temples. He explained what is in the heart defiles us. This should be our heart-- to love,, forgive have mercy, be kind ....
So, we are born again this cleanses the filth -- we love so we are born of God and know God this also cleanses the filth. Our spirit becomes one with His this most assuredly cleanses the filth.
OH no and we become holy as He is Holy.
I can babble on like this forever so let me stop here *_*

yes and to grow in holiness...what are some practical applications and examples...I can think of one..and that is to turn from worldliness...love of money, materialism and idolizing the worldly pursuits and the things of this world and worldly entertainments and having the values of this world such as the quest for physical perfection
keep in mind that we are all impure...we are all sinners..God has placed in believers His pure spirit but our fleshly nature fights with our new spirit until we are completely transformed...believers are a work in progress and not a finished work so we must always be aware of our sins that we need to turn from

Love fulfills the law -- we are sinners once but now are righteous in the eyes of God through Christ.
We don't willfully sin or I hope we don't because there is no more sacrifice for sin.
It is good to be humble, but know you are a child of God.
1 Peter 1: 22- 23
Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned Love of the brethern, see that ye love one another with a PURE heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
