Why we must be clean according to the scriptures

As many of us become more knowledgeable about the poisons in food, we make changes to our diet to avoid as many pesticides, genetically modified (GMO), high fructose corn syrup, saccharin, artificial flavors, etc.  As we expand our knowledge of what we ingest into our bodies, we also must take into account of what we use externally. 

Our skin is our largest organ; our bodies absorb many toxins from our environment.  While we have no control over many aspects of our environment such as the air quality of the city and the type of soap in the dispenser of a restaurant’s restroom, ultimately the responsibility falls on us of not only what we ingest, but what we apply to our bodies externally as well as the reduction of toxins in our homes.  Most of us and our families spend most of their day in the home whether we are sleeping, cooking, learning the Word together, etc.


In the scriptures it tells us that Israel is a clean people and we went to many lengths and had strict laws to follow to remain clean and how to become clean.

Some precepts are below.


Importance of Being Clean

We must make a distinction between clean and unclean:

• Lev 10:10

The animals we ate had to be clean:

• Gen 7:1-2; Lev. 5:2, Lev 11

The people had to be clean (sickness and running issues of the flesh):

• Lev 12 and Lev 15

The priest has to be clean along with the tabernacle and temple:

• Lev. 16:1-4 and 2 Chron. 29:16

Health is above all gold:

• Sirach 30:14 -16

Over the next couple of weeks I will put up posts about what harmful chemicals we use in our everyday life unconsciously that are weakening our immune systems and minds. The harmful ingredients and separate posts on recipes that are way more natural and healthier for us and our families for the following topics:

1. Deodorants
2. Toothpaste
3. Clothe Detergents
4. Fabric Softeners

Also focus on the basic cleaning properties and benefits of the use of basic Baking Soda and how to make washing soda from home!
I thank the Most High for this understanding and I pray you all become blessed with this info!
