why is having sex during menstruation such a BIG deal to an Almighty God?

Answer 1

he didn't like women all that much.

Answer 2

because of the fact he s an almighty administration freak. no count if it quite is intercourse or the different act of which god disapproves, god gets his knickers in an almighty wad if puny human beings don t do what He says (or do what He says to no longer do). like various administration freaks god is a woefully insecure, whiny uber pansy with a huge ego. This laughably "appropriate" being is a gargantuan great pansy and an unimaginably immature, emotional wackjob. whilst in comparison with an all understanding, all smart, all effective, all sufficient, undying and eternal being, human beings are decrease than a brainless, drooling, incompetent, impotent, bawling newborn. human beings are decrease than an amoeba to this style of being. yet god cares (and gets the two disillusioned or overjoyed) by potential of the strikes of amoebas? He gets indignant (wounded, emotionally injured) by potential of brainless, powerless, drooling idiots who stay decrease than a nanosecond (whilst in comparison with eternity). Yeah. That s plausible. LOL. no longer.

Answer 3

It's a Jewish law. It never applied to non-Jews.

The reason is because:

In Judaism, dead bodies equal impurity. For instance, a Jewish priest (a Kohen) is not allowed to enter a hospital that has a morgue, nor walk in a graveyard, nor have any contact with the dead at all whatsoever.

When a woman has a period, it is because the egg inside her, which represents a potential human life, has died. It was not fertilized, it did not bring a human life into the world.

This means that it has now taken on the status of a death, which in turns means that it is impure.

It is not the woman herself who is impure, it is the dead egg inside her that is impure. Therefore, after her period, after the dead egg has been discarded by her body, she must go to the mikvah and immerse in the waters in order to cleanse her body from the impurity it had contained. At that point, her husband may also resume having sexual relations with her.

In Judaism, women are actually considered to be on a much higher level than men, spiritually. Thus, they must be returned to their natural condition of holiness, after containing the impurity of death within them.

Please remember that none of the laws in the Torah ever applied to anyone who wasn't Jewish - except for the 7 Noahide Laws, which you can read about here: http://www.noahide.org

There were never any penalties or punishments given to non-Jews who did not follow Torah law, because Torah law never applied to them.

This also negates the Christian lie that Jesus freed them from the laws in the Torah - as it is impossible to be freed from something you were never bound by. There is nothing to free you FROM.

And as far as the 7 Noahide Laws, those are still in effect for non-Jews (and Jews as well, although Jews have many more), nobody has freed you from those, and never will.

Hope this at least educates you a bit about the Jewish laws in the Torah pertaining to menstruation and the reasons behind those laws.

Answer 4

The periodic discharge of the menses (blood, fluid, and some tissue debris) from a woman’s uterus. Menstruation of women is generally a monthly experience, occurring about every four weeks. Girls begin menstruating at puberty, and this function normally continues until menopause, each menstrual flow usually lasting from three to five days.

The Scriptures associate menstruation with impurity and uncleanness (Le 12:2; Eze 22:10; 36:17), a form of the Hebrew word relating to it (nid·dah′) sometimes being rendered “menstrual impurity.” (Le 15:25, 26) A form of another Hebrew term, da·weh′, which can denote illness (La 5:17), is used in the expression “menstruating woman.” (Le 15:33; Isa 30:22) Menstruation is also meant by the phrase “the customary thing with women.”—Ge 31:35.

“Unclean” Under Law. According to the Mosaic Law, a woman was considered unclean for seven days during normal menstruation. The bed or any other articles upon which the menstruating woman might lie or sit were also rendered unclean. Anyone touching her or items she had made unclean was required to wash his garments and bathe, and that one remained unclean until the evening. If her menstrual impurity came to be upon a man lying down with her (as when, unwittingly, a husband had sexual relations with his wife at the beginning of menstruation), he was rendered unclean for seven days, and the bed upon which he might lie down was considered unclean.

The woman was also viewed as unclean for the duration of an irregular running discharge of blood or “a flow longer than her menstrual impurity,” at which time she made the articles on which she lay or sat as well as persons touching these items unclean. After the abnormal discharge ceased, she was to count seven days, and she then became clean. On the eighth day the woman brought two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, who made atonement for her, presenting one of these creatures to Jehovah as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.—Le 15:19-30

If a man and a woman deliberately cohabited during her menstrual impurity, they were cut off in death. (Le 18:19; 20:18) The prohibiting of sexual union during menstruation probably contributed to health, perhaps preventing, for instance, the occurrence of inflammation in the genital area, simple urethritis. The Israelites also may have been reminded of the sanctity of blood by the Law’s regulations involving menstruation or blood flow. These rules were not discriminatory against women, for men were subject to uncleanness by discharges to which they were prone. (Le 15:1-17) Especially did regulations concerning menstruation show Jehovah’s consideration for womankind. The Christian husband, though he is not under the Law (Ro 6:14; Eph 2:11-16), also does well to consider his wife’s cycles and vicissitudes, dwelling with her “according to knowledge” and assigning her honor “as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one.”—1Pe 3:7.

Answer 5

many of the old testiment rules were for health reasons. It was God's way of saying avoid infections. They haven't invented anti-bacterial meds yet. Why do you think Jews are Kosher.

Answer 6

It had more to do with hygiene and disease than anything. It is the old Jewish law which is not binding on Christians today. Their dietary laws were for hygiene and disease control also.

Answer 7

God is very picky about certain things. But then again, who can say what god likes or doesn't like?

Answer 8

blood is something that isn't supposed to be touched or eaten. women on periods aren't even supposed to go into holy places. people don't follow that anymore. I don't know why that was a big deal. but it is in more religions than just the judeo-christian ones so there has to be something behind it.

Answer 9

I don't know,,I'm a hunter and have been in blood right up to my elbows,,So whats the big deal about being in right up to your balls,,
Now I smell a Violation notice,,

Answer 10

I believe it is because the woman cannot conceive during menstruation, therefore, the act of intercourse would be for pleasure only...and God doesn't want us to have too much pleasure, you know. (smiles)

Answer 11

What is a big deal to God is that you obey Him.
