However, the term, "bloody menstrual rags", "bloody rags", and "menstrual" are not. Additionally, the term "filthy rags" is not found in any modern bibles. There is a single usage in the King James Version in Isaiah (64:6) but there is no biblical context for the presumption that filthy rags means anything other than the soiled clothing worn by beggars or lepers.

That is exactly what the Hebrew word means.. remember a woman's period made her "unclean" and required a cleansing ritual following it?

The Hebrew word is `iddah;

It is a FEMALE noun defined as
1) menstruation
a) filthy rag, stained garment

Study your theology ..and BTW we are grown ups here and can actually say menstruation with out running from it

Apparently the RM has agreed with you. Tou should have no difficulty reading how others don't agree with your language, which some of us find unnecessarily graphic.

Yes. We all can. Most of us find it unnecessary to say, "filthy bloody menstrual rags," though. After all, it's a normal function and we all know what it is.

ROTFLOL!

RCs find much of the Bible offensive. Must be just another rationalization for them not to read the Bible.

QUIX: Pontificated, rabbit fur lined diplo-speak weasel words are more things to be validly allergic to, imho. I think Christ demonstrated a similar attitude--sometimes with his raw language.

LOLOL and AMEN!

Gone a litte while and I miss all the fun.
