why did Jesus call woman who was menstruating 'dirty'? God created women and her menstuation, was God dirty?

Question

Jesus said when women is 'dirty' she should not serve food, is that normal?

Answer 1

where did he do this?

Answer 2

did Jesus actually say that? I'm a bit rusty on my bible...it sounds like something from the Old Testament...but that's beside the point.
God created dirt too. Perhaps there's error in the presumption that the term 'dirty' is actually derrogatory.
The logic is all screwy in your question...if God created ducks, would that mean that God is a duck?
And even if God is 'dirty', God would also be 'clean' as the creator of cleanliness.
Beware the propensity to anthropomorphize God. God is both immanent and TRANSCENDENT...which is to say that God is beyond the constraints of what we perceive reality to be.

Answer 3

It isn't that God was calling women dirty. He used the term unclean. The same term was also used for lepers, whom God also loved. In those days, the term "unclean" was used to refer to something not being pure. When one is bleeding out of their private areas, I cannot myself regard that as a pure and clean thing. Stand close to a woman who has not practiced good hygeine during that time and you will know what I mean. The rules that God had concerning menstruation were designed for health reasons as well as spiritual ones.

Answer 4

hahahah cari what an answer, comparing menstruating women to lepers hahahahahha, you are an example of feminism and by the way what is the difference between unclean and dirty???
those christians are really absurd

Answer 5

In some traditions when a women is menstruating she cannot participate in religious ceremony's because she is thought to be much to powerful and sensitive. Thus...

Answer 6

I believe this is a translation issue, just like the meaning of the word "virgin" - it translates as an unmarried woman of marriageable age, but not necessarily one who hasn't had sex. When writings are translated from other previous translations, meanings are sometimes lost, particularly the full colloquial (for the time) implication of the word.

Answer 7

it is because the christian faith has always tried to demonize women and make them seem lower than men because so many of the old pagan gods were women.

the bible has done this with all the old gods, especially the roman and Greek ones as they were the most widely worshiped.

the church even portrayed Jesus' other half as a whore.

Answer 8

In the Qu'ran

[002.222] They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: "That is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore, keep away from women during menses and go not into them till they are purified (from menses and have taken a bath)." And when they have purified themselves, then go into them as Allâh has ordained for you (go into them in any manner as long as it is in their vagina). Truly, Allâh loves those who turn to Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts and bodies for their prayers).

Answer 9

Jesus had a problem with vaginas because he was the only man on earth not to come out of one. This messed with his head over the years and got in the way of his super-powers.

Answer 10

>>Jesus said when women is 'dirty' she should not serve food, is that normal?<<

Why didn't you post the verse so we can look it up?

Answer 11

Unclean? I wonder if the translation was accurate. I mean, unless that woman was bleeding like crazy, with hands stained in blood... I don't know... it doesn't make sense to me. As other parts of the Bible don't, I am humble to say.

Peace!
