Line 7:
Line 7: − == Menstruation == − − The Bible states that God does not approve of menstruation (Romans 11:376). In Ezekiel, God condemns an action of the Israelites by equating it to a woman's menstrual cycle: "...to Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity" (Ezekiel 36:17). In Isaiah, God also likens man's own righteousness to "filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). The English translation here is actually cleaned up a little, as it more directly translates to "a rag of periods" <ref>[http://www.atruechurch.info/sexduringmenstruation.html Sex During Mentruation]</ref>. − − The Bible states that if a man and a woman have sexual intercourse during her menstrual cycle both must be ostracized by their community: "If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from their people." (Leviticus 20:18) − − As with many old testament laws, these are no longer required as an enforced legal code - this role was abolished with the New Covenant. Ritual laws should be considered only as historical interest and statements of morality. Menstration is not mentioned in the New Testament.
Menstruation does not need to be in the women entry.
Some woman organizations like the National Organization of Woman disagree with the Bible and argue that they should not have to submit to their husbands, but instead should have "equal" rights.[http://womensvoicesraised.org/bakerLetter.html]
