Question

Thanks

Answer 1

There are many scriptures that showed God wanted men to be clean...in many cases...you could be easily defiled by touching something they considered to be unclean...God gave them to eat clean foods ..not foods like certain animals that by their nature were scavengers...or ate filth..like pigs ..or shell fish scouring the ocean floor...there were times ..were God commanded them to sanctify themselves...if He were coming into their midst...in Exodus 19:10...God told Moses to tell the people... Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,...Because he is a holy God ..he requires us to be clean..

And furthermore he is a God ..who does not make confusion...another words He is not the author of confusion...He is a God of Order...Order..is being organized.....

Here in 2 Kings 20:1..In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live....God told a King to Get his house in ORDER....

Psalms 50:21..These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

1Corinthians 14:40 at the very end of the chapter summarizes .. Let all things be done decently and in order...God bless

Answer 2

There are hundreds of verses using the word "clean" in the Bible, I know because I looked lol.

Most of the verses about actual bodily cleanliness occur in Leviticus as part of the laws of Moses. For instance, if you touched blood of any kind, either animal or human, you were considered unclean for something like 7 days and could not rejoin the camp until you were proven clean by time. This makes sense in an era of no sanitizing handwash or even soap.

The other verses deal more with cleanliness of the soul, which of course is more important to God lol.

Organization is a toughie, I didn't find a verse that uses that word, and it's too late at night for me to go looking at the thesaurus lol.

Good luck, I hope others answer better than I have.

Answer 3

I have a few, but they aren't in the bible. They are in the Docterine and Covenants. We consider them scripture, just as the bible is. But they are good ones.

D&C 88:119- Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;

D&C 90:18- Set in order your houses; keep slothfulness and uncleanness far from you.

D&C 132:8- Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion.

Also, in Psalms 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Those are the only ones I can find. I'm sure there are more.

Mark 7

Answer 5

I don't know. there is some about being clean. Your body is a Temple for the Holy Spirit. Something like that. And Leviticus is all about the Day of Atonement, the cleansing of sins.

“Turn away, turn away, get out of there, touch nothing unclean; get out from the midst of her, keep yourselves clean, you who are carrying the utensils of Jehovah.”—ISAIAH 52:11.

“You must prove yourselves holy, because I am holy.” (Leviticus 11:44, 45)

“The reason I left you behind in Crete was for you to get everything organised there.”—TITUS 1:5, The Jerusalem Bible.
