I really do hate to see nasty dirty people. Have any stories of nastiness?

The cleanliness spoken of is not just physical. The verse refers to spiritual cleanliness. No unclean thing can enter into the Kingdom of God. Be ye clean that bare the vessels of the Lord. Ye are washed clean by the blood of the lamb. These and many other passages refer to the removal of sin from our lives, becoming spiritually clean. In order to return to God's presence, we must repent of all our sins and make our lives one with God's purpose for us in mortality. We must learn to follow His ways. As Jesus said, "what manner of men ought ye to be, even as I am". When we put our lives in order to become like Jesus, clean in every way, then we are truly next to God.

Nasty dirty is yucky but a little bit messy is okay. You don't have to be anal about it. People are more comfortable when your home feels lived in rather than like a place that is so protected with plastic and dust covers that they are afraid of sitting down or are afraid of being cast into a dungeon if they accidentally spill a soda. A house should be a home, not a showcase.

Hi, this saying is just one of so many taken out of context,it does not mean bodily cleanliness but spiritual cleanliness.

some people think that way. I'm a Christian homemaker and i believe one of my roles as such is to keep a nice clean house for my family. I also think its pleasing to the Lord that I appreciate the things that He has given me

Emptiness is loneliness
and loneliness is cleanliness
And Cleanliness is godliness
and god is empty just like me

That is not a Biblical expression. Somebody made that up.

wanting to be clean is a natural desire

I don't think so. I'm a very clean unbeliever.
