Those non-verbal gesticulations and facial expressions are more deadly than what we say!!
As I was listening to the sermon yesterday, of all the bodily discharges, why did God chose to call semen and menstruation as unclean? We all sweat, vomit, sneeze, cough, drip mucus, urine, and even pass motion. But these discharges are not considered unclean. (They sometime stink though).
.
(Otherwise, we will be forever unclean right?)
Then it dawn on me that only semen and mensturation are live-giving fluid, just like blood. To be discharge from the body is to indicate death of life. And the offenders have to offer a sin-offering (Lev 15:15; 30). OK, maybe this bodily discharge is not refering to semen or mensturation, need to check this out.

What then are some non-verbal discharges that we normally do to others that can kill or wound?
We all heard of staring instances between strangers which ended up killing one another. I am afraid of talking to people with aggressive body language. A cold shoulder and cold look are more deadly than arguing with someone you will have face up with everyday at home and at work.
A few weeks ago, I felt very down after talking to a relative. She had approached me numerous times asking for help which is beyond me. I explained it carefully to her. But her body language showed frustration and anger. It’s never gonna be the same again.
Thank you Lord,
For helping me to understand this difficult passage.
Help me to glow from inside out.
To be able to touch and show care by my non-verbal expressions.
Amen!
Body Language – bodily discharge are deadly. :)
