SEXUAL INTERCOURSE during a woman's period?

MY  ANSWER  TO  THE  ANSWER  --  Keith Hunt

Question: "Is it acceptable to God for a husband and wife to have sex while the wife is menstruating / having her period?"

Answer:Leviticus 15:19says, “When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.” Similarly,Leviticus 15:24says. “If a man lies with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean.” Finally,Leviticus 20:18declares, “If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has also uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from their people.” As a result of these Scriptures, some hold that a married couple should not have sex while the wife is having her period.

MY  ANSWER:  ANCIENT ISRAEL  WAS  IN  THE  MAIN  A  CARNAL  NATION,  ONLY  A  FEW  HAD  GOD'S  SPIRIT  WORKING  WITH  THEM [SEE  NUMBER  11].  GOD  USED  PHYSICAL  NATURAL  [RIGHT  AND  PROPER  IN  THEMSELVES]  TO  COVEY  A  MESSAGE  OF  SPIRITUALITY.  THE  FIRST  TWO  VERSES  QUOTED  ARE  TO  DO  WITH  BEING  "UNCLEAN"  FROM  TEMPLE  WORSHIP.  CERTAIN  PHYSICAL  THINGS  THAT  NATURE,  THE  REGULAR  HUMAN  MIND  KNOWING  CERTAIN  FUNCTIONS  OF  THE  BODY  THOUGH  GOD  MADE,  ARE  SOMEWHAT  PHYSICALLY  .... WELL  HOW  CAN  I  PUT  IT .... WELL  LIKE  A  BOWEL  MOVEMENT,  NATURAL,  BUT  WE  DO  IT  IN  PRIVATE,  AND  IT'S  NOT  SOMETHING  WE  MESS  AROUND  WITH.  GOD  TOOK  A  PHYSICAL  FUNCTION  OF  THE  WOMAN,  THAT  AGAIN,  WE  KEEP  KINDA  PRIVATE,  AND  DO  NOT  MESS  AROUND  WITH.  IT  IS  NOT  THE  CLEANEST  THING  IN  THE  PHYSICAL,  AS  A  BOWEL  MOVEMENT  IS  NOT.  GOD  TOOK  THIS  AND  WAS  GIVING  A  LESSON  OF  PURITY  FROM  IT.  GOD  IS  PURE  AND  THERE  IS  NO  UNCLEANNESS  IN  HIM.  HENCE  TO  FINALLY  COME  BEFORE  HIM  IN  PURITY  AND  CLEANNESS,  WE  WILL  NEED  TO  BE  PURE.  JESUS  PAID  FOR  OUR  SINS,  UNCLEANNESS,  AND  SO  WE  CAN  COME  BEFORE  HIM  THROUGH  CHRIST  NOW,  AND  EVENTUALLY  IN  THE  RESURRECTION  BEFORE  HIM  LITERALLY,  BECAUSE  WE  SHALL  BE  PURE,  NO  IMPURITY  IN  US  AT  ALL.  SO  THE  TWO  VERSES  OF  LEV. 15:19  AND  24  GAVE  A  LESSON  TO  PHYSICAL  CARNAL  ISRAEL.  CERTAIN  PHYSICAL  FUNCTIONS  AND  SICKNESSES  THAT  PEOPLE  HAD,  THEY  COULD  NOT  COME  INTO  THE  HOLY  PRESENCE  OF  GOD  IN  TEMPLE  WORSHIP  UNDER  THE  OLD  COVENANT.  MANY  THINGS  IN  THIS  CHAPTER  ARE  GIVEN  AS  NOW  UNCLEAN  IN  A  CERTAIN  WAY  OF  HUMANLY  LOOKING  AT  IT,  AND  SO  TEMPLE  WORSHIP  WAS  FORBIDDEN  FOR  PERIODS  OF  TIME;  THEN  WHEN  THIS  UN-CLEANNESS  WAS  OVER,  CERTAIN  SACRIFICES  NEEDED  TO  BE  MADE,  TO  RE-ENTER  THE  TEMPLE  WORSHIP  OF  GOD.  IT  WAS  A  PHYSICAL  TEACHING  TOOL  TO  GIVE  A  SPIRITUAL  LESSON  OF  HOW  WE  CAN  COME  BEFORE  GOD.

NOW  LEV. 20:18  -  "CUT OFF"  -  NOTE  THE  WORDING  IS  NOT  "UNCLEAN  FOR...."  AS  IN  THE  OTHER  TWO  VERSES  QUOTED  ABOVE.  THE  OBVIOUS  MEANING  IS  A  MORE  STRICTER  PENALTY  FOR  WHAT  LEV. 20:18  IS  TALKING  ABOUT.  ALBERY  BARNES  IN  HIS  BIBLE  COMMENTARY  SAYS  IN  REGARDS  TO  VERSE  17  AND  "CUT  OFF" - "SEE  EX. 31:14  NOTE.  THE  MORE  FULL  EXPRESSION  HERE  USED  PROBABLY  REFERS  TO  SOME  SPECIAL  FORM  OF  PUBLIC  EXCOMMUNICATION,  ACCOMPANIED,  IT  MAY  BE,  BY  EXPULSION  FROM  THE  CAMP."  ON  EX. 31:14  BARNES  SAYS: "SEE  NUM. 15:32-36.  THE  DISTINCTION  BETWEEN  THE  MEANING  OF  THE  TWO  EXPRESSIONS,  TO  BE  CUT  OFF  FROM  THE  PEOPLE,  AND  TO  BE  PUT  TO  DEATH,  IS  HERE  INDICATED.  HE  WHO  WAS  CUT  OFF  FROM  THE  PEOPLE  HAD,  BY  HIS  OFFENSE,  PUT  HIMSELF  OUT  OF  THE  TERMS  OF  THE  COVENANT,  AND  WAS  AN  OUTLAW.  ON  SUCH,  AND  ON  SUCH  ALONE,  WHEN  THE  OFFENSE  WAS  ONE  WHICH  AFFECTED  THE  WELL-BEING  OF  THE  NATION,  AS  IT  WAS  IN  THIS  CASE,  DEATH  COULD  BE  INFLICTED  BY  THE  PUBLIC  AUTHORITY."

I  HOPE  YOU  SEE  WHAT  ALBERT  BARNES  WAS  SAYING.  "CUT  OFF"  COULD  APPLY  TO  SOME  SPECIAL  FORM  OF  EXCOMMUNICATION,  AND  MAY  BE  EXPULSION  FROM  THE  CAMP.  THEN  WITHIN  CERTAIN  PARAMETERS  IT  COULD  MEAN  THE  DEATH  PENALTY.  

NOW  IT  SHOULD  BE  SEEN  THAT  LEV. 20:18  AND  "CUT  OFF"  IS  SOME  FORM  OF  EXCOMMUNICATION  AND/OR  EXPULSION  FROM  THE  CAMP.

I  SUBMIT  TO  YOU  THERE  IS  A  VAST  DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN  LEV. 15:19, 24  AND  LEV. 20:18.  THE  LATTER  VERSE  AS  GIVEN  ABOVE  IS  CLEAR  IT  IS  TO  DO  WITH  SEXUAL  INTERCOURSE  DURING  THE  WOMEN'S  MONTHY  PERIOD.  AND  PENALTY  IS  TOTALLY  DIFFERENT  FROM  CHAPTER  15:19,24.  THE  TWO  ARE  NOT  DIRECTLY  CONNECTED  AT  ALL.  LEV. 20:18  IS  A  LAW  UNTO  ITSELF,  AND  HAS  NOTHING  TO  DO  WITH  THE  TEMPLE  PER  SE,  OR  BETTER  PUT,  IT  WOULD  STILL  BE  UNCLEAN  FOR  TEMPLE  WORSHIP,  AS  IT  STILL  IS  CONCERNING  AN  "ISSUE"  MAKING  UNCLEAN  FOR  TEMPLE  WORSHIP;  BUT  GOD  SKIPS  OVER  THAT  PART,  AND  GOES  STRAIGHT  TO  THE  MAIN  POINT......  SUCH  AN  ACT  OF  SEXUAL  INTERCOURSE  DURING  A  WOMAN'S  MONTHLY  PERIOD,  GOD  HOLDS  AS  AN  INFRACTION  ALL  BY  ITSELF,  WHICH  WARRANTS  A  PENALTY  OF  EXCOMMUNICATION  OF  SOME  KIND  FROM  THE  CAMP.  GOD  IS  MAKING  THE  POINT  HERE  THAT  THIS  ACT  IS  NOT  CEREMONIAL  IN  TERMS  OF  THE  TEMPLE,  BUT  A  STRAIGHT  UP  LAW  FROM  HIM,  THAT  PRACTICING  SEX  BY  BOTH  DURING  THE  MONTHLY  PERIOD  TIME  IS  WRONG,  IS  NOT  TO  BE  DONE,  AND  REQUIRES  SOME  FORM  OF  EXCOMMUNICATION  FROM  THE  CAMP.  

NOW  USE  SOME  LOGIC.  THE  COUPLE  EXCOMMUNICATED  FOR  SEX  DURING  THE  WOMAN'S  MONTHLY  PERIOD,  WOULD  BE  HIT  BETWEEN  THE  EYES,  THAT  GOD  DID  NOT  APPROVE  OF  SUCH  A  LIFE  STYLE.  YES  I  SUBMIT  TO  YOU  THAT  IS  THE  CLEAR  AND  PLAIN  TEACHING  THAT  GOD  WANTED  TO  GET  ACROSS  TO  ANCIENT  ISRAEL  IN  LEV. 20:18.  THE  LAW  AND  PENALTY  FOR  BREAKING  THIS  LAW  WAS  TOTALLY  DIFFERENT  FROM  LEV. 15:19, 24.

The problem with this view is that if the Scriptures are applied consistently, even touching a woman who is having her menstrual flow would be forbidden. Further, according toLeviticus 15:20-23, even touching something that the woman has also touched would be forbidden. 

MY  ANSWER:  YES  THAT  WAS  TRUE  INDEED.  BUT  THE  CONTEXT  IS  "UNCLEANNESS"  AND  MOST  SCHOLARS  KNOW  THAT  MEANT  YOU  WERE  NOT  OR  COULD  NOT  COME  TO  WORSHIP  GOD  IN  THE  TEMPLE,  BUT  YOU  COULD  STILL  BE  FREE  TO  MOVE  ABOUT  IN  ISRAEL  AMONG  THE  PEOPLE.  LEV. 20: 18 ...... A  DIFFERENT  LAW  WITH  A  VASTLY  DIFFERENT  PENALTY.

Do these laws apply to us today? No, they do not. Why? It is important to remember the purpose of the Old Testament laws concerning blood. In the sacrificial system, blood was sacred (Leviticus 17:11). A woman’s “uncleanness” during her period was symbolic of the value placed on blood. As a result, contact with a woman who was having her period was forbidden.

MY  ANSWER:  TRUE  CERTAIN  OLD  TESTAMENT  LAWS  DO  NOT  APPLY  TO  US  TODAY,  ESPECIALLY  OLD  TEMPLE  LAWS [THERE  IS  NOT  PHYSICAL  TEMPLE  TODAY  FOR  YOU  TO  BE  NOT  ALLOWED  IN  TO  WORSHIP  GOD].  I  HAVE  AN  IN-DEPTH  STUDY  ON  MY  WEBSITE  CALLED  "LIVING  BY  EVERY  WORD  OF  GOD  -  HOW?"  WHICH  GOES  INTO  THE  OUTLINE  OF  FIGURING  WHICH  LAWS  OF  MOSES  ARE  FOR  US  TODAY.

Christians today are not under the Old Testament ceremonial law (Romans 10:4;Galatians 3:24-26;Ephesians 2:15). There no longer is a sacrificial system. Jesus’ blood sacrifice paid the penalty for sins once and for all. The Levitical ceremonial laws do not apply today. There is no biblical reason why a married couple cannot have sex during the wife’s period. Some doctors do not recommend it from a medical perspective, but there are no proven “dangers” of having sexual intercourse during a woman’s period. Usually women have no desire to have sexual relations during their period, so that is definitely another thing to consider. Basically, this issue must be decided by a husband and wife in the spirit of “mutual consent” as1 Corinthians 7:5describes.

MY  ANSWER:  THE  WRITER  IS  WRONG.  THE  LAW  OF  LEV. 20:18  WAS  A  SEPARATE  LAW  FROM  LEV.15: 19, 24.  THE  WRITER  HAS  PUT  THEM  TOGETHER,  WHEN  THEY  ARE  NOT  TOGETHER  AT  ALL.  LEV. 20:18  IS  A  LAW  UNTO  ITSELF,  WITH  A  MUCH  GREATER  PENALTY  FOR  BOTH  THE  MAN  AND  THE  WOMAN.  GOD  IS  CLEARLY  STATING  IN  LEV. 20:18  THAT  HE  DOES  NOT  WANT  A  MAN  AND  WOMAN  HAVING  SEXUAL  INTERCOURSE  DURING  THE  WOMAN'S  MONTHLY  PERIOD.  AND  DOING  SO  WOULD  MEAN  SOME  SORT  OF  EXCOMMUNICATION  UNTIL  THE  COUPLE  GOT  THE  MESSAGE   AS  WE  WOULD  SAY.

THE  MIXING  OF  VERSES  TOGETHER  WHEN  THEY  ARE  NOT  MEANT  TO  BE  TOGETHER  IS  A  WRONG  WAY  TO  READ  THE  BIBLE.  AND  WILL  THEREFORE  LEAD  INTO  WRONG  THEOLOGY.

NOW  GOD  DOES  NOT  EXPLAIN  TO  US  IN  THE  BIBLE  WHY  HE  DOES  NOT  WANT  A  MARRIED  COUPLE  TO  HAVE  SEX  DURING  THE  WOMAN'S  MONTHLY  PERIOD.  BUT  HE  DOES  NOT  HAVE  TO  TELL  US;  IT  SHOULD  BE  ENOUGH  FOR  US  TO  KNOW  THAT  HE DESIGNED  THE  HUMAN  BODY,  AND  HE  KNOWS  WHAT  IS  BEST  FOR  US.  HUMANLY  TO  ME  IT  IS  KINDA  "YUCK - ICKY." JUST  BECAUSE  THERE  IS  NO  "PROVEN  DANGERS"  FOR HAVING  SEX  DURING  A  WOMAN'S  PERIOD,  DOES  NOT  MEAN  THERE  ARE  NOT;  MANY  OF  OUR  SICKNESS  ARE  FROM  WRONG  WAYS  OF  LIVING.  THERE  MAYBE  NO  "PROVEN  DANGERS"  FROM  EATING  WHITE  BREAD,  AND  WHITE  BREAD  PRODUCTS  ALL  YOUR  LIFE,  BUT  I  CAN  TELL  YOU  GOD  DID  NOT  INVENT  WHITE  BREAD,  THAT  WAS  MAN'S  MODERN  WORLD  THAT  DID  THAT.  AND  I  CAN  TELL  YOU  FROM  GOD'S  HEALTH  PERSPECTIVE,  WHITE  BREAD  PRODUCTS  HAVE  BROUGHT  ILL-HEALTH  ON  THE  WORLD,  EVEN  IF  IN  A  LABORATORY  YOU  CANNOT  PROVE  IT  IS  DANGEROUS.

THIS  IS  AN  IMPORTANT  SUBJECT  I'VE  NOT  COVERED  IN  ANY  STUDY  ARTICLE,  SENT  TO  ME  TO  ANSWER  BY  A  FRIEND.

I  WILL  THEREFORE  POST  IT  ON  MY  BLOG.

NOW  BEING  SOMEONE  WHO  REALLY  APPRECIATES  THE  SKILL  IN  CERTAIN  SPORTS  LIKE  SAY  GYMNASTICS  IN  THE  OLYMPIC  GAMES,  I  CAN  APPRECIATE  THE  PRACTICE  AND  SKILL  NEEDED  TO  BE  ON  A  TEAM  TO  DO  THE  BATTLE  OF  THE  YEAR  IN  TEAM  HIP-HOP  OR  BREAK-DANCING.

SO  THE  USA  DECIDES  TO  PUT  TOGETHER  A  B-TEAM  DREAM  TEAM  TO  COMPETE  FOR  THE  BATTLE  OF  THE  YEAR.

HAS  SOME  GOOD  LESSONS  TO  TEACH  WITH  CERTAIN  ONES  HAVING  CERTAIN  ATTITUDE  PROBLEMS,  THEY  MUST  PUT  AWAY,  AND  NOT  ALWAYS  EASY  TO  DO.

THE  MOVES  THESE  TOP  GUYS  CAN  DO  IS  QUITE  AMAZING  AT  TIMES.

I  ENJOYED  WATCHING  THIS  BREAK  DANCING  ROUTINES  AND  THE  SKILLS  IT  TAKES  TO  BE  UP  AT  THE  TOP  OF  THIS  SPORT.

SO  IF  YOU  LIKE  OR  EVEN  APPRECIATE  THE  SKILLS  OF  BREAK-DANCING,  THEN  THIS  IS  A  GOOD  MOVIE  TO  SEE.

"RUSH"...the movie

BEEN  TO  SEE  THE  NEW  MOVIE  "RUSH"  ABOUT  TWO  OF  THE  GREATEST  FORMULA 1  RACING  GUYS  OF  THE  1970s.

IT'S  THE  STORY  OF  THE  RISE  OF  ENGLISHMAN  JAMES  HUNT [NO  DIRECT  RELATION  TO  ME]  AND  AUSTRIAN  MIKI  LAUDA  IN  THE  WORLD  OF  FORMULA  1  CAR  RACING.

IT  IS  SUSPENSEFUL,  AND  CAPTURES  THE  CRAZINESS  OF  SOME  OF  THE  PEOPLE  IN  THAT  SPORT.

NEVER  BEING  A  CAR  RACING  FAN,  I  KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT  THESE  TWO  FELLOWS,  THOUGH  I  DO  REMEMBER  HEARING  THE  NAME  MIKI  LAUDA  ON  THE  SPORTS  NEWS  DURING  THE  1970s.

SO  WE  CLEARLY  SEE  THE  FANATICISM  OF  LAUDA  AND  HUNT.

BUT  THE  BIG  LESSON  FROM  THIS  MOVIE  IS  A  CLASSICAL  EXAMPLE  OF  SOMEONE  LIVING  THE  BIG  PARTY  LIFE,  AS  A  WAY  OF  LIFE.  JAMES  HUNT  WAS  ABOUT  AS  IMMORAL  AS  YOU  COULD  GET  WITH  SEX,  FOR  YEARS,  AND  THE  SAME  FOR  BOOSE..... DRINKING  ALCOHOL  AND  PARTING,  THE  WILD  WILD  LIFE  OF  AN  IMMORAL  PERSON  OUT  OF  CONTROL.

AT  THE  END  OF  THE  MOVIE,  IT  IS  MIKI  LAUDA  YOU  HEAR  SPEAKING,  AND  SAYING  HE  WAS  SHOCKED  TO  HEAR  OF  JAMES  HUNT'S  DEATH  [HUNT  HAD  RETIRED,  MIKI  LAUD  WAS  WORLD  CHAMPION  AGAIN]  AT  AGE  45!!

JAMES  HUNT  DIED  FROM  A  HEART  ATTACK......  NOT  AT  ALL  SURPRISING  FROM  THE  WAY  HE  LIVED.

SO  THE  LESSON.... IF  YOU  WANT  TO  LIVE  A  LONG  HEALTHY  LIFE, DO  NOT  FOLLOW  JAMES  HUNT'S  EXAMPLE.

CERTAINLY  A  GREAT  MOVIE  IN  SHOWING  YOU  THE  WRONG  WAY  TO  LIVE.

AS  FOR  FORMULA  1  CAR  RACING..... WAY  TO  DANGEROUS,  DISRESPECT  FOR  THE  HUMAN  BODY,  EVEN  HUNT  AND  LAUDA  AGREED  IT  WAS  PUTTING  YOUR  LIFE  ON  THE  LINE,  IN  EVERY  RACE.  IT  WILL  NOT  BE  ALLOWED  IN  THE  AGE  TO  COME  UNDER  CHRIST.

SO,  HERE'S  MORE  ABOUT  MARILYN M --  

From  the  book  "Marilyn  Monroe - Private  and  Confidential" (2012)

.....On another occasion, Curtice saw the soft side of Marilyn's personality, during a trip to the 57th Street apartment: 'Marilyn decided she had to go out to get some shopping, so she took me with her. She wore a crazy disguise - dark wig and dark glasses, and people were looking because of it. She walked like Marilyn but didn't look like her. There was a homeless man and Marilyn walked right up to him, not at all afraid. "Things are not going well at the moment; are they?" she said. "No they're not" he said. She opened her purse and gave him $5 before walking on.'

In an interview in 1959, Marilyn spoke freely about the Roxbury home and explained that there was a working farm on the land. She admitted not knowing much about what went on there, but she did know that the farmer kept cows. Unfortunately, it became apparent exactly what happened to the animals, during an incident witnessed by Curtice Taylor: 'We [Curtice and his brother] were out in the field which belonged to Arthur but was managed by a farmer. While we were walking we saw a cow that had just given birth, and said, "Wow look at that"; we knew we had to go and get Marilyn because she would be thrilled. We got her and she was thrilled and amazed. The farmer came, checked the sex and discovered it was male. This was not good because he bred milking cows and wasn't interested in males. He went to the van and came back with a bag to put the calf in. Marilyn went completely hysterical and shouted, "You can't do that! You can't take it away from its mother!" She went absolutely crazy. She rushed back to the house and brought back money to try and buy the cow from the farmer. He wouldn't take the money and instead told her that he was the farmer, he had to do his job and the calf was going to be veal. She just didn't understand.'

Adding to Marilyn's distress that day was the discovery of a hawk trying to get some swallow chicks, which were nesting above her front porch. Upset by recent events, she spent a long time throwing rocks up at the hawk to chase it away, and spent the rest of the day feeling low and upset.......

She may not have made a friend out of Dorothy Jeakins, but Marilyn found several other confidants during the making of Let's Make Love. The first was psychiatrist Dr Ralph Greenson, whom she met at the Beverly Hills Hotel on the recommendation of her New York analyst, Marianne Kris; the second was Ralph Roberts, a massage therapist and actor who became her masseur and friend; and the third was Evelyn Moriarty, a young woman hired to be Marilyn's stand-in on Let's Make Love.

Moriarty worked with Marilyn for six weeks, without a single word being said between them: I didn't talk to her and she didn't talk to me,' she told the 'Marilyn: Then and Now' club; 'I had heard that she was difficult and I wasn't going to go up to someone that I didn't know.'This was a big problem for Marilyn on the Let's Make Love set, and Jack 'Waukeen' Cochran, who was hired to play an Elvis impersonator in the film, remembered that everyone was frightened to talk to her, which just added to her frustration and insecurity. He took matters into his own hands one day when she appeared on set, and he greeted her with a huge hug. She was surprised but delighted, and so he continued this practice for the remainder of his time on the film.

Moriarty was less sure how to approach her, and was pleased when Marilyn eventually took the initiative and came up to introduce the stunned stand-in to her pet cat, Serafina. 'It was a sweet, funny sort of thing to do,' remembered Moriarty, and after that the two became good friends. In later years she would always describe Marilyn in the most positive of ways, as demonstrated in the 'Marilyn Then and Now' interview: 'She was the most wonderful person that lived. I think that when she got up in the morning she used to wonder who she could help. You couldn't tell her that she had something nice on, because you got it the next day. She was very giving. She was fantastic' .........

..........

NOW  ALL  THAT  IS  WHAT  EVERYONE  SHOULD  BE  LIKE,  IT  IS  JUST  PLAIN  SIMPLE  TRUE  CHRISTIANITY.

NO  MATTER  OUR  STATION  IN  LIFE,  EVERYONE  HAS  SOMETHING  THEY  CAN  GIVE  TO  OTHERS;  BE  IT  MONEY,  KINDNESS,  A  GOOD  DEED,  BEING  LOVING,  SYMPATHY,  FRIENDLINESS,  REJOICING  WITH  THOSE  REJOICING,  CRYING  WITH  THOSE  THAT  ARE  CRYING,  GIVING    AN  EAR  TO  THOSE  WHO  NEED  SOMEONE  TO  LISTEN  TO  THEM;  YES  ALL OF  THOSE  THINGS  RIGHT  DOWN  TO  PRAYING  FOR  OTHERS.  WE  CAN  ALL  GIVE  SOMETHING  TO  SOMEONE.

WE  CAN  APPRECIATE  AND  LOVE  ANIMALS,  EVEN  IF  WE  DO  NOT  OWN  ANY.

I'VE  HAD  A  DOG  AND  I'VE  HAD  A  CAT.  THEY  WERE  GREAT,  SWEET  AND  LOVING  TOWARDS  ME.  I'M  IN  THE  HORSE  WORLD;  I  HAVE  MY  BEAUTIFUL  GOLDEN  PALOMINO  MARE.  I'M  AROUND  HORSE  PEOPLE.  WHAT  SURPRISES  ME  A  LOT,  IS  THAT  HORSE  PEOPLE  ARE  "INTO"  HORSES  BECAUSE  THEY  LIKE  THEM,  LOVE  THEM...... BUT  I  JUST  ABOUT  NEVER  HEAR  PEOPLE  TALKING  TO  THEIR  HORSE/S!

THEY  BRUSH  THEM  DOWN,  SADDLE  THEM  UP,  GO  RIDING,  GIVE  THEM  A  PAT  ON  THE  NECK  AT  TIMES,  BUT  I  JUST  ABOUT  NEVER  HEAR  PEOPLE  TAKING  TO  THEIR  HORSE.  IT  KINDA  BLOWS  ME  AWAY.

IS  IT  ME  THAT  IS  A  LITTLE  STRANGE?  BUT  IT  JUST  SEEMS  NATURAL  TO  ME  THAT  YOU'D  WANT  TO  TALK  TO  YOUR  HORSE  IN  SOME  WAY.  MAYBE  PEOPLE  THINK  "WELL  YOUR  HORSE  HAS  NO  CLUE  WHAT  YOUR  TALKING  TO  THEM  ABOUT,  SO  WHY  BOTHER."

I'LL  STOP  AT  SOME  REALLY  LUSH  LONG  GRASS  AND  LET  MY  HORSE  EAT  SOME.  I'LL  SAY  TO  HER  "NOW  THAT  IS  PRETTY  GOOD  SUPER  GRASS  GIRL;  WOW  YOUR  ENJOYING  THAT."

I'LL  BE  BRUSHING  HER  DOWN  AND  TALKING  TO  HER,  "WELL  YOUR  LOOKING  GOOD  GIRL,  KEEPING  WELL  SINCE  I  WAS  LAST  WITH  YOU."

WOULDN'T  DOUBT  THAT  OTHERS  HEARING  ME  TALKING  TO  MY  HORSE,  THINK  I'M  A  LITTLE  STRANGE,  AS  MY  HORSE  DOESN'T  UNDERSTAND  WHAT  I'M  TALKING  ABOUT.  BUT  WHAT  THEY  MISS  IS  A  HORSE  CAN  SENSE  YOUR  TONE  OF  VOICE,  IF  IT'S  SOFT  AND  SMOOTH,  THEY  KNOW  IT,  AND  IT  HAS  A  CALMING  EFFECT  ON  THEM.

THEY  HAVE  PROVED  SOFT  MELLOW  MUSIC  RELAXES  AND  CALMS  HORSES,  WHILE  LOUD  BANGING  CLANGING  MUSIC  PUTS  THEM  ON  EDGE.  THAT  IS  ONE  OF  THE  REASONS  COWBOYS  SINGING  MELODIC  SONGS  AT  NIGHT  TO  THE  CATTLE  HERD  AND  TO  HORSES,  RELAXES  THEM,  FOR  INDEED  IT  DOES.

AND  YOU  KNOW  TALKING  TO  YOUR  ANIMALS  DOES  YOU  A  WHOLE BUNCH  OF  GOOD  ALSO;  AS  THEY  SAY  GOOD  VIBES  RUN  THROUGH  YOUR  BODY.  GIVE  IT  A  TRY.

For the lonely and the timid,

for the brash and for the bold.

His love knows no exceptions,

so never feel excluded,

No matter who or what you are,

your name has been included. . .

And no matter what your past has been,

trust God to understand,

And no matter what your problem is,

just place it in His hand. . .

For in all our unloveliness this

great God loves us still—

He loved us since the world began,

and what's more, He always will!

GOD  HAS  A  SALVATION  PLAN,  AND  AS  SHOCKING  AS  IT  MAY  SOUND  IT  INCLUDES  EVERYONE,  EVEN  THOSE  WHO  WERE  WITHOUT  GOD,  NEVER  KNEW  ABOUT  THE  BIBLE,  LIVED  AND  DIED  WITHOUT  THE  BIBLE  OR  EVEN  KNOWING  CHRIST  AND  THAT CERTAINLY  INCLUDES  BABIES  AND  CHILDREN,  AND  THOSE  ABORTED  UNDER  "FREEDOM  OF  CHOICE."

"WHAT THEN, ISRAEL HAS  NOT  OBTAIN  THAT WHICH HE SEEKS FOR; BUT THE ELECTION HAVE OBTAIN IT, AND THE REST WERE BLINDED. ACCORDING  AS  IT  IS  WRITTEN, GOD  HAS  GIVEN  THEM  THE  SPIRIT  OF  SLUMBER,  EYES  THAT THEY  SHOULD  SHOULD  NOT  SEE,  AND  EARS  THAT  THEY  SHOULD  NOT  HEAR,  UNTO  THIS  DAY...... FOR  I  WOULD  NOT  THAT  YOU  BE  IGNORANT  OF  THIS  MYSTERY,  LEST  YOU  SHOULD  BE  WISE  IN  YOUR  OWN  COCEIT;  THAT  BLINDNESS  IN  PART  IS  HAPPENED  TO  ISRAEL,  UNTIL  THE  FULNESS  OF  THE  GENTILES  COME  IN.  AND  SO  ALL  ISRAEL  SHALL  BE  SAVED.....FOR  THIS  IS  THE  COVENANT  I  MAKE  UNTO  THEM,  WHEN  I  SHALL  TAKE  AWAY  THEIR  SINS" (ROMANS 11:25-27).

"WHEREFORE  REMEMBER THAT IN TIMES PAST YOU WERE GENTILES IN THE FLESH.....THAT  AT  THAT  TIME  YOU  WERE  WITHOUT  CHRIST....HAVING  NO  HOPE,  AND  WITHOUT  GOD  IN  THE  WORLD" (EPHESIANS  2 : 11-12).

BUT  GOD  LOVES  ALL  THE  PEOPLE  THAT  HAVE  EVER  LIVED [THAT  INCLUDES  SOME  PRETTY  BAD  ONES]  AND, "THE  LORD  IS  NOT  STACK  CONCERNING  HIS  PROMISE,  AS  SOME  MEN  COUNT  SLACKNESS. BUT  IS  LONGSUFFERING  TO  US,  NOT  WISHING  ANY  TO  PERISH,  BUT  THAT  ALL  WOULD  COME  TO  REPENTANCE"  (2 PETER 3:9).

BUT  WE  READ: "NEITHER  IS  THERE  SALVATION  IN  ANY  OTHER  NAME  UNDER  HEAVEN,  GIVEN  AMONG  MEN,   WHEREBY WE  MUST  BE  SAVED' (ACTS  4:12).

AND  JESUS  PLAINLY  TAUGHT  "NO  MAN  CAN  COME  TO  ME,  EXCEPT  THE  FATHER  WHICH  HAS  SENT  ME,  DRAW  HIM..."  "THEREFORE  I  SAID  UNTO  YOU, THAT  NO  MAN  COMES  UNTO  ME,  EXCEPT  IT  WERE  GIVEN  UNTO  HIM  OF  MY  FATHER." (John 6:44, 65). 

PRETTY  PLAIN  AND  EASY  TO  UNDERSTAND;  WHY  A  CHILD  CAN  UNDERSTAND  THEM.

THE  GREAT  8TH  DAY  FEAST  OF  LEVITICUS  23,  THAT  FOLLOWERS  THE  FEAST  OF  TABERNACLES,  IS  ALL  ABOUT  THIS  FINAL  DAY  OF  SALVATION  FOR  BILLIONS,  WHO  WERE  LEFT  IN  SPIRITUAL  BLINDNESS;  NEVER  HAD  THEIR  DAY  OF  A  CHANCE  OF  SALVATION.  COMMON  SENSE  AND  COMMON  LOGIC  TELLS  YOU  THAT  MILLIONS  HAVE  LIVED  AND  DIED  NEVER  READING  THE  BIBLE,  OR  KNOWING  JESUS  CHRIST  AS  SAVIOR.

BUT  ONE  DAY  THEY  WILL,  FOR  INDEED  GOD  WISHES,  WANTS,  NONE  TO  PERISH  AS  WE  HAVE  SEEN.

Spring Awakens What Autumn Puts to Sleep

A garden of asters in varying hues,

Crimson pinks and violet blues,

Blossoming in the hazy fall,

Wrapped in autumn's lazy pall. . .

But early frost stole in one night,

And like a chilling, killing blight

It touched each pretty aster's head.

And now the garden's still and dead,

And all the lovely flowers that bloomed

Will soon be buried and entombed

In winter's icy shroud of snow. . .

But oh, how wonderful to know

That after winter comes the spring

To breathe new life in everything,

And all the flowers that fell in death

Will be awakened by spring's breath. . .

For in God's plan both men and flowers

Can only reach bright, shining hours

By dying first to rise in glory

And prove again the Easter (Passover) story.

ALL  MUST  DIE [EXCEPT  THOSE  ALIVE  AT  JESUS'  RETURN  WHO  WILL  BE  CHANGED  FROM  MORTAL  TO  IMMORTALITY - 1 COR.15],  EVEN  THOSE  KNOWING  NOT  CHRIST  OR  THE  BIBLE.  BUT  ALL  WILL  BE  RAISED  TO  LIVE [JOHN 5: 25-29] BUT  IN  ORDER  AS  REVELATION  20  SHOWS  -  A  FIRST  RESURRECTION  FOR  THE  SAINTS  AND  A  SECOND  RESURRECTION  AT  THE  END  OF  THE  1,000  YEAR  AGE  TO  COME [FOR  ALL  WHO  WERE  NOT  GIVEN  THE  GOSPEL  AND  THE  BOOK  OF  LIFE  NOT  OPENED  TO  THEM].  THROUGH  THE  RISEN  CHRIST  THEY  CAN  NOW  HAVE  AN  OPPORTUNITY  FOR  SALVATION.

  Nature Proclaims Eternal Life

Flowers sleeping beneath the snow,

Awakening when the spring winds blow,

Leafless trees so bare before

Gowned in lacy green once more,

Hard, unyielding, frozen sod

Now softly carpeted by God,

Still streams melting in the spring

Rippling over rocks that sing.

Barren, windswept, lonely hills

Turning gold with daffodils —

These miracles are all around

Within our sight and touch and sound,

As true and wonderful today

As when the stone was rolled away,

Proclaiming to all doubting men

That in God all things live again.

OH  YES,  THE  DEAD  WITHOUT  CHRIST  ARE  NOT  LOST  IN  A  HELL-FIRE.

GOS  HAS  MADE  A  PLAN  OF  SALVATION.  SOME  CALLED  NOW,  SOME  TOMORROW,  SOME  NEXT  MONTH,  SOME  NEXT  YEAR,  AND  SOME  NOT  UNTIL  THEY  ARE  CALLED  UP  TO  RISE  IN   THE  SECOND  RESURRECTION  OF  REVELATION  20.

THIS  GREAT  PLAN  OF  SALVATION  IS  GIVEN  TO  US  BY  GOD  IN  HIS  YEARLY  FESTIVALS.  THEY  ARE  THE  SKELETON  OF  BONES,  TO  WHICH  ALL  THE  BODY  PARTS  WILL  BE  ADDED  IN  TIME,  TO  MAKE  UP  THE  WHOLE;  THE  BEAUTIFUL  WHOLE.  SO  WITH  THE  FEASTS  OF  THE  LORD  WE  LIVE  OUT  EACH  YEAR  THE  SALVATION  PLAN  OF  THE  MOST  HIGH  GOD.

PRAISE  THE  ETERNAL  GOD  WHO  LOVES  EVERYONE  EVER  MADE  INTO  THE  FORM  OF  HUMAN  KIND,  AND  WILL  GIVEN  THEM  AN  OPEN,  DIRECT  CALLING  TO  BECOME  ONE  OF  HIS  IMMORTAL  CHILDREN  ONE  DAY....IN  GOD'S  TIME  TABLE  NOT  OURS.
