I’ve noticed that there have been less and less comments lately. Leviticus for me is super confusing and hard to connect to and maybe that’s the case for other women but don’t give up because of it!! I am so excited for us all to make it through the Bible together so keep reading ladies!❤️

Thanks for the encouragement!! I admit to groaning when I see the reading is yet another Leviticus. I need to learn more about this book! And the comments help me SO MUCH

Just wait until we get to Numbers. We’ll be reading numbers instead of letters.

I was told by a friend that a study called “Seeing Jesus in (?) exodus Leviticus and Numbers “ helped explain how all the many offerings pointed to Christ so I am trying to look at the foreshadowing and even occasionally follow rabbit trails, like looking up leprosy and that these OT references to leprosy may be pointing more to heart issues and it’s is possible different than modern day leprosy called Hansen’s disease. Also, this reference is where we get scapegoat- the one sent into the wilderness! Love ❤️ Bible reading!

Same, same same!! Having a hard time relating to Leviticus too and I’m glad to read I’m not the only one. It’s hard to read all of this about being “unclean” when God made us this way, so I’ve been having a tough time stomaching it.

If you wise women didn’t say anything, me a young 21 year old wouldn’t understand half the passages. Thank you!

Why does it say that we enter the kingdom of heaven by doing things for the least of these? I thought we don’t enter by doing, but by believing
-
You are correct we must first believe, however faith without works is dead. We must have a heart like Jesus and love our neighbors as ourselves. Jesus was a servant and He wants us to be His hands and feet here on earth. We are to serve others and show the love of Christ. This is how the good news of the gospel is spread, through acts of kindness and service.

It’s not that their works earned them salvation. They did the good deeds because of their righteousness and desire to serve the Lord by serving others, not for a reward.

Is it weird if I was encouraged by this? Lol I love that we get to read the law of Leviticus and Matthew together here. Seeing the contrast between the detailed law (which God mercifully gave to His people to maintain relationship with them) and the New Covenant always helps me put into perspective God’s love for us. Like seriously praise God we don’t have to make a sacrifice for our “menstrual impurities” as my ESV so quaintly puts it. Instead He met us in uncleanliness (both the physical kind and spiritual) and bridged a gap so we could have a constant and closer relationship with Him that will result in inheriting His kingdom.

Aaaamen!

Hi Sarah are you from Fargo?
-
Yes!!

Does anyone have a version that makes this book easier to understand and get through?
-
Hey Chelsey! Try ESV if you haven’t yet! I’m normally able to follow it :)
-
If it gets really difficult, I switch to The Message.

What I took away from this is more related to the discharging. I think it’s more of a spiritual discharge or behavioral. Such as if one emits poor unfavorable behavior or words or has a spirit of unkindness or lacking in what’s considered maybe “fruit of the spirit” then that person is unclean. However, in then speaking of generosity and treating those in need as if they were Jesus, we must dispel any negativity we have in our own hearts about acts of service towards those in need. We should emit nothing but a pure and clean heart as if we were exerting our love and kindness to Jesus. I know there are times where I’ve said “well I need this too” but I haven’t stopped to think about God’s plan, I’m rather serving my own agenda. I should be more like the Good Samaritan and know that I have the financial, time, and relational freedom to impact someone who is in need.

I think back then it was more about not spreading disease . Disease from blood spreads quickly and the people of that time weren’t the cleanest . So I think it is more about cleanliness than “punishment “

This was a tough one for me, I appreciate everyone’s perspectives on why me station was considered unclean-
