This is a serious question for mature Christians about the curse..............................................

Question

I have asked this question before a long time ago and never got any satisfactory answers.
Is the womans menstruation cycle part of the curse that was put on mankind after Adam and Eve ate from the tree?
Or is it a blessing for the woman?
In the bible it tells us not to have sex while we are menstruating and it warns a man not to engage in sex with a woman while she is menstruating.
Do you think that menstruation is something that God designed to be a cleansing of the woman and therefore a time to refrain from sex and it's good for the woman because during that time she doesn't have to be bothered about sex from her husband (I'm serious)
or...it is part of the curse.
Remember God told Eve that now she was going to bear children in pain. Which means before that it was not painful to have children. And Adam and Eve lived in perfection, and menstruating is bloody, nasty, and smelly and an awful thing every month for the woman(well it's bothersome)
So what do you think?

Answer 1

I love being a woman. So I am inconvenienced for a couple of days each month. I also had the most incredible experience of having life grow inside of me. Nothing beats that!

Pay attention when you do get your period. Besides PMS or whatever, do you find that it's easier to get sick at that time? Well, it's true. You are more susceptible to illness. Plus, in biblical times women did not have tampons, pads and running water available. I don't know how they did it, but yes I'm sure they were "unclean" as the Bible says.

Adam, men, got the "punishment" of laboring in the sun. We got a few moments of discomfort in order to bring life into the world. I think it's fair and definitely worth it.

Is that mature enough?

God Bless.

Answer 2

Wow did you really say so a woman doesn't have to have sex with her husband? That is awful. Everything from God is a gift, when Eve took the apple off the tree Adam was sitting right there next to her the Bible says so. Knowing this you must also understand the Eden was the spiritual paradise and Earth is the world of matter when God kicked us out of Paradise God had to explain why we would suffer the things we do in the material world it's as simple as that. Think about the age back then your talking people living in caves and tents like the Native Americans they had to have a first time they learned about everything, such as cooking meat over a fire, what plants to avoid etc.. God was just helping them understand God has always done everything for us and not against us. Just accept your cycle as a gift and stop criticizing it. Also I do believe the Bible talks about this being a woman's cleaning of the uterus and it is not to be contaminated but that is a good thing, you don't want your baby developing in a dirty womb do you.
Peace and God Bless

Are we supposed that before sentience Eve did not have a period. That she was somehow different than any other mammilian female on the planet. That somehow Eve's body didn't have to get rid of the estrus when the egg remained unfertalized. Makes no sense. Most logical explanation is that the story of adam and eve was an allegorical one that people of that era and level of knowledge put together. As an animal in a place where food, water, and basic needs were plentiful I am quite sure Eden was an Eden. To a senient being with a will to choose a path in life--perhaps we gave up that feeling of comfort for the ability to understand.

Answer 4

Menstration is nothing more than a woman's body preparing itself for pregnancy in the event that she is fertilized by a man's sperm. Her womb builds a place for a fertilized egg to take hold and incubate into a fetus, and be nurtured.

If the egg isn't fertilized, the lining sheds itself. Thats all.

Before Adam and Eve sinned, they were innocent and did not have sex, therefore, they had no children. When they came to knowlege, they understood that they were to have children.

So, Eve became fertile--I guess in that manner, menstration became a symbol of her "sin." However, it is not a curse, it's a blessing. It means that children will come.

People should not have sex while a woman is on her period because. . .it's messy. I mean, a little hard to get the stains out of the sheets. Yuck.

Answer 5

Everything God does has a good purpose, and is dual in nature...physical and spiritual.

When God created the universe, He set laws in motion to govern it. One of His laws is the law of blood sacrifice. In the physical, when a woman's egg does not get fretilized, it "dies" and the menstrual blood covers the "death", and her body is cleansed.

In the spiritual, all humans are born with a feminine spirit (yes, males too). We are all born spiritually "dead" in trespasses and sins. When we receive the Life of Christ, His blood covers our sins and we are cleansed.

God always gives us physical examples that we can see so we can understand the spiritual application. When we become "pregnant" with God's Holy Spirit, that's when we began to change from the inside out and become a new creature in Christ. We are actually born into God's family.

Answer 6

Ironically, some women enjoy intercourse more during menstruation.

I'm not a Christian but I have heard of this from several people who are, and my conclusion is that menstruation is the time to eliminate built up evil over the month. Hence the mood swings, crying, etc...

One priest has a joke about it, rather amusing...

"Menstruation, for those who do not understand, is simple... During Menstruation, Men are the main Frustration."

Answer 7

no one truly knows of for confident what the "sin unto loss of life" is. a million John 5:sixteen If all and sundry sees his brother sinning a sin which does not bring about loss of life, he will ask, and he will provide him existence for people who commit sin not maximum appropriate to loss of life. there is sin maximum appropriate to loss of life. i don't say that he could pray approximately that. yet i will inform you this plenty. the only unforgiveable sin is to reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Hebrews 10:11 and each priest stands ministering on an known basis and offering repeatedly an analogous sacrifices, that could in no way eliminate sins. 12 yet this guy, after He had provided one sacrifice for sins perpetually, sat down on the final hand of God, 13 from that factor waiting until ultimately His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected perpetually people who're being sanctified. 15 however the Holy Spirit additionally witnesses to us; for after He had pronounced previously, sixteen "that's THE COVENANT THAT i will MAKE WITH THEM AFTER those DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: i will place MY rules INTO THEIR HEARTS, AND of their MINDS i will WRITE THEM," 17 then He provides, "THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS i will keep in mind not greater."

Answer 8

Its because of the the sin, there wasn't that kind of pain before Eve ate from the tree.

Answer 9

A BLESSING?!!
Are you female??? LOL

Seriously, no one knows how children would have been born before the curse. I have heard many people say that the whole cycle/pregnancy/birth thing is Eve's curse. The Bible is not specific about it.

Answer 10

I always though it was a curse, but I like your theory that its a cleansing time for women. I like that Idea, but I always thought it was something that came along with birth pains, but I guess not since animals get it to, and animals dont get birth pains... so maybe its what you said. Interesting.
