Why?&nbsp; An unclean woman couldn\u2019t wash dishes \u2013 they\u2019d be unclean and nobody could eat off them.&nbsp; She couldn\u2019t do laundry \u2013 nobody could wear unclean clothes.&nbsp; She couldn\u2019t do housework;

I\u2019ve been told that girl babies often have a harder time nursing than boy babies and that girls are a bit smaller at birth than boys.&nbsp; It\u2019s a&nbsp;<em>big deal&nbsp;<\/em>for a mother when her baby gets big enough to hold enough milk to sleep through the night.&nbsp; If girls have a harder time nursing and they\u2019re smaller, it would take longer for a baby girl to sleep through the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is true, God knows&nbsp;<em>all&nbsp;<\/em>about it.&nbsp; What did He do?&nbsp; A mother got 70 days off when she gave birth to a girl and 40 days when she gave birth to a boy.&nbsp; That extra month made it more likely that a newborn girl would sleep through the night&nbsp;<em>before<\/em>&nbsp;the mother got back to her household routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most American babies are born in expensive hospitals!&nbsp; Mothers are sent home after a day or two and get back to work. &nbsp;My mother got a week of help from her mother and a week from my father\u2019s mother when I was born.&nbsp; That was 14 days of&nbsp;<em>help,<\/em>&nbsp;not 40 days of no housework at all.&nbsp; Does God know something we don\u2019t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pharisee described in Luke 18:11-14 bragged that he fasted \u201ctwice in the week.\u201d&nbsp; Christians have believed that fasting gives benefits and some studies are beginning to confirm medical benefits of fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about the feast of leaven?&nbsp; God said that yeast represented sin, so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,&nbsp;whether he be a stranger, or born in the land<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Exodus&nbsp;12:19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get rid of&nbsp;<em>all<\/em>&nbsp;the yeast in your house, you have to clean to white-glove inspection levels as the army does.&nbsp;

That cleans out all other food \u2013 seeds, crumbs \u2013 and critters starve.&nbsp; Cleaning came at the time of Passover, the time of year when rats and mice breed.&nbsp; Villages have fewer insects, rats, or mice if there\u2019s nothing for them to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christians had the Old Testament during the Middle Ages; Jews could have talked about the \u201cnone of these diseases (Ex. 15:26)\u201d benefits of obeying God\u2019s laws. &nbsp;The Jews didn\u2019t give God the glory for better health; they didn\u2019t declare \u201cin the sight of the nations (De. 4:6)\u201d that God\u2019s statutes meant \u201cnone of these diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1340s, the Black Death spread by fleas carried by rats. &nbsp;Jewish customs of washing and cleaning leaven out of their houses meant that the plague affected them less&nbsp;<em>in the sight of the nations, just as God had promised<\/em>. &nbsp;Gentiles thought Jews must have caused the plague because they were immune!&nbsp; There was persecution because Jews didn\u2019t give God the glory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about circumcision on the 8<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;day?&nbsp; A newborn\u2019s blood gets some clotting factor from the mother. &nbsp;It takes about six days for the baby\u2019s bone marrow to build clotting factor.&nbsp; The cut heals best after the&nbsp;<em>baby\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;clotting factor comes.&nbsp; The 8<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;day gives time for boys who\u2019re a bit slow to get ready to clot and heal after the cut.&nbsp; We now know that circumcision reduces infection which is why it\u2019s so common in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How did Bible writers know this?&nbsp; Did they do a double-blind study of circumcising thousands of boys on different days, measure outcomes, and use statistics to find the best day?&nbsp; Or did they do as God told them?&nbsp; God is not only great; He wrote&nbsp;<em>some<\/em>&nbsp;of His greatness in the Bible for our learning and for our benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>THE \u201cTHEORY\u201d OF EVOLUTION<\/a>&nbsp;DENIES THE BIBLE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The more scientists study genetics, the less they know about how different species \u201cevolved.\u201d&nbsp;

People tend to make understanding the Bible more complicated than it is.&nbsp; Does the Bible lie?&nbsp; Jesus prayed, \u201cSanctify them through thy truth: thy word is&nbsp;truth&nbsp;(John 17:17).\u201d&nbsp; No, the Bible doesn\u2019t lie.&nbsp; God gave us the Bible \u201cfor our learning (Romans 15:4).\u201d&nbsp; If God lied to us in the Bible He wouldn\u2019t be good and when we found out, we\u2019d stop trying to learn from the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that God cares deeply about Children.&nbsp; Does the Bible lie to children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many things in the Bible children can\u2019t understand, and many I can\u2019t understand, but God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33).&nbsp; God didn\u2019t write passages with a simple, false meaning that must be explained through appeals to grammar, history, or \u201cancient authorities\u201d that aren\u2019t found in the Bible.&nbsp; Anything&nbsp;<em>in<\/em>&nbsp;the Bible a child can understand is true in the way a child would read it.&nbsp; If this were not so, children would be confused, which God doesn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the story of the man who built his house on the sand.&nbsp; We teach kids a song about it.&nbsp; We tell them that obeying God\u2019s Word is a wise thing to do and that someone who doesn\u2019t obey is a fool.&nbsp; Let\u2019s look at passages which kids understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Ephesians&nbsp;6:1<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Colossians&nbsp;3:20<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Can children understand those verses?&nbsp; Yes, but \u201cobey\u201d is often a bad word.&nbsp; How old do children have to be to understand that it is as hard for their parents to obey God as it is for them to obey their parents?&nbsp; God expects us to teach His Words to our children:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Deuteronomy&nbsp;6:7<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Ephesians&nbsp;6:4 *<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does a father find the \u201cnurture and admonition of the Lord?\u201d&nbsp; In the Bible.&nbsp; Your most effective way of teaching the Bible is for you to obey it, even when it\u2019s hard, and explain the Biblical basis for your actions and decisions.&nbsp; What you do in following the Bible speaks so loudly that your children can\u2019t hear what you&nbsp;<em>say<\/em>&nbsp;about the Bible.&nbsp; Your words and your actions must say the same thing.&nbsp; What has this to do with marriage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children can understand most marriage verses; your kids can see whether you\u2019re obeying them or not.&nbsp; There are also marriage-related verses which children know without having to read the Bible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whoso findeth a wife findeth a&nbsp;good thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>, and obtaineth&nbsp;favour of the LORD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Proverbs&nbsp;18:22<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does a child go whenever anything goes wrong in the child\u2019s universe?&nbsp; Right to Mommy.&nbsp; A child knows that his father\u2019s wife is a good thing indeed.&nbsp; Adults should learn from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve met men who complain about their wives instead of appreciating them.&nbsp; Philippians 2:14 says, \u201cDo all things without murmurings and disputings.\u201d&nbsp; Murmuring about a wife makes her unhappy; Proverbs says five times that an unhappy wife makes her family unhappy.&nbsp; God doesn\u2019t like murmuring either (1 Cor. 10:10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents who don\u2019t follow these oh-so-obvious commands teach their children that the Bible is only a stick for parents to beat kids; it says nothing about adult behavior.&nbsp; Is it any surprise that so many walk away from the Word of God when they grow up?&nbsp; They\u2019ve been taught that adults don\u2019t follow the Bible, so why bother?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believing that God is good has been the foundation of our marriage. &nbsp;From her youth up, my wife wanted to be a wife and mother. &nbsp;She knew she would have to find a husband who would pay her expenses. &nbsp;As she read the Bible, she realized that God expected her to obey her husband and to follow him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of complaining about how irrelevant the Bible is to modern customs, she knew that obeying God would bless her&nbsp;<em>somehow<\/em>&nbsp;because God is good.&nbsp; She realized that she would have to find a man whom she&nbsp;<em>could<\/em>&nbsp;obey.&nbsp; While she was in college, she met a man she expected to marry. &nbsp;When she asked God, He told her not to marry him.&nbsp; She pulled away because she was&nbsp;<em>convinced<\/em>&nbsp;that God had her best interests at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I told her I was going to date her, she said okay, but she set out terms and conditions.&nbsp; \u201cGod made me to be a treasure for my husband,\u201d she said, and&nbsp;<em>insisted<\/em>&nbsp;that I agree that the purpose of dating was to decide whether she and I would marry.&nbsp; From my point of view, this was good &#8211; she took God seriously!&nbsp; I knew that if she was&nbsp;<em>serious<\/em>&nbsp;about following God, if she accepted&nbsp;<em>everything<\/em>&nbsp;the Bible tells wives to do, marrying her would be a good idea if&nbsp;<em>I<\/em>&nbsp;did my best to do what God tells&nbsp;<em>husbands<\/em>&nbsp;to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, it has been.&nbsp; We had no idea where marriage would take us, but we knew that God would get us there&nbsp;<em>if<\/em>&nbsp;we followed His rules.&nbsp; We trusted Him to order our lives together because we knew that God is good and had seen that He had ordered our lives while we were single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Everyone<\/em>&nbsp;has trouble following God\u2019s rules.&nbsp; Accepting Christ\u2019s offer of forgiveness for your sins and asking Him into your heart helps overcome old habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/successful-marriage.blogspot.com\/2018\/12\/what-drove-jesus-11-nobodies-to-turn.html?fbclid=IwAR3AANtVWBXhcpCuZ8WICBxVI695b3ZSp__DHRYg1-sdpZcL7k8LR20jDYk#wentAfter\">Jesus Forgives More Than We Can Understand<\/a>&nbsp;on page 6 shows how He forgave His disciples when they ignored His command to start His church and went fishing instead.&nbsp;
