Christians: is it still a sin....?

To have sex with a women while she's on her period?

Since that falls under the moral laws that were NOT fulfilled by Jesus...

Update:

"That was an Old Testament ceremonial cleanliness law--not a moral one."

Negative. it's under all of the 'unlawful sexual relations' under moral law. go read your bible.

**

"you could ask the same about wearing clothes made from two different fabrics."

Nope. that's considered a 'ceremonial law' that has been fulfilled by Jesus.

"still trying to figure out your religion"

I'm Wiccan, it's in my profile. I've also studied the bible.

"What does that falls under the moral laws not fulfilled by Jesus mean? Do you mind explaining that ?"

Jesus came to fulfill the ceremonial laws, not the moral laws. look it up, as this is what I've been told a few times today, so I researched it. Then I found that this little gem falls under the moral laws, just as all of the other 'unlawful sexual relations' that god finds detestable. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviti...

    The Mosaic Law applied only to the Israelites and to those who wanted to be with the Israelites. So, are you a Jew? If not, then you wouldn't be under the Mosaic Law Covenant anyhow.

    Of course, if you are looking for a law from the NT (Greek Scriptures) to fit into what you are asking about, Jesus did tell us to abstain from blood. That means no blood at all for any reason, including blood transfusions.

    Christians do not follow the Old Testament laws. They are Christians meaning they follow Christ.

    If Jesus did not tell people to abstain from sex with menstruating women,

    Christians can ignore this. The same goes for wearing mixed fabric or eating pork.

    Jewish people kept those laws. Christians do not worry about being circumcised.

    It is the same idea.

    Even assuming that is true, such laws never applied to non-Jews in the first place.

    There were things God told the people to do for sanitation reasons, like not touching a corpse, and hand washing, and general info to avoid spreading contagious diseases and so forth. When God removed the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt, He didn't act like the wicked ones who had ruled over them. When God adopted them as His own, He helped them in all aspects of their life.

    You've already had plenty of well solutions with many scriptures, so I simply desire so as to add my tuppence-valued at! God created mankind in His photograph and likeness. That evidently doesn't suggest we, too are natural Spirit, however God's Spirit is in us. We have characteristics, or attributes that God endowed us with. We have an in-built feel of justice (become aware of 2-yr-olds exclaiming, 'That's now not reasonable!'?) We have an in-built feel of affection (with out which existence is depressing). We have a measure of knowledge. We love to have vigour (despite the fact that we quite often abuse that privilege). However, all our senses are polluted and broken with our sin. We can not ever realize, this part of glory, simply how real it's that "God is love" however we get the fine inspiration of that within the man or woman of Jesus Christ. He used to be thoroughly human and thoroughly skilled the entire feelings individuals enjoy, but with none sin on His facet twisting His feelings. Nobody skilled grief like He did. Nobody skilled pleasure like He did. Nobody confirmed love like He did. Well, again to God in heaven... Because God is aware of the starting from the top and has all expertise, not anything takes Him by means of shock. He might (and I'm best thinking about right here - I do not know) now not think the misery we think at injustice, crimes and horrors because of additionally realizing the last results for the entire individuals worried. Names are already written within the Book of Life, even earlier than participants had been born! So even though God has ordained individuals to salvation, regardless of realizing what sin they are going to devote as Christians, we will be certain that their sin is not going to give up God feeling deep love for that sinning Christian. The prodigal son parable tells us that. But God hates sin, such a lot in order that whilst Christ grew to become sin at the pass, God withdrew from His loved Son, and Jesus knew it. What pain that have got to have triggered Him who had performed no sin, however grew to become sin! What pain for the Father additionally! I suppose it is dependable to mention that God has all His characteristics in ideal stability. I hesitate to name them 'feelings' within the feel that we have got feelings, regardless that. I suppose the feelings God has are on one other airplane. Because there's no sin in God, there may be ideal stability, so He is not going to tip from pleasure to rage. My uneducated wager is that there's an equilibrium we will not ever aspire to, this part of glory.
