In Leviticus 15 there is a lot about people who have "issues" and I have a question. Are people who have "issues" like these not allowed to enter a Messianic (or Jewish) synagogue?
A little sidetrack but the OP makes me wonder where the African athlete with the dual-gender would sit in a synagogue?
Since the title of Chunkofcoal's thread is "Leviticus 15" and Lev. 15 is all about bodily discharges (aka 'issues'), I'd guess those are what she's asking about.

Yes, I was wondering about bodily discharges.
I know some of the things fall in the category of family purity laws, but what about someone with a skin disease?
But that doesn't apply, apparently, the necessary sexual organs are intact - the male organs being inside the body.
Yea, I've often wondered how they checked 'membership', and so the right to be there, in the Temple!
According to scripture a person is a woman if they have an extra rib. He does not have an extra rib, and his testicles are up inside him.
Is that a pun? Heber! LOL
said:That would fall under family purity laws, if people are observing them..

I read Leviticus 15 and verse 32 ended with " ceremonially unclean" This would seem to be a different term and not referring to obvious health considerations.
In Leviticus 12 a women is unclean longer after giving birth to a girl than for a boy.
Also in John 18:28 Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.
It would seem to me that lack of temple and Levitical priesthood would effect implementation of these ceremonial laws at the present time.
There does not appear much commentary on these subjects on the internet from many Jewish sources, which is surprising.
Does anyone have any info on this topic from the Talmud or other sources?
