I don't do research cause I don't need any research to understand God's word. Faith takes God at His word instead of doing mental gymnastics to make it say what you want it to say.
I'm not gonna regard your half assed work cause you only delivered half of what was asked and 50% pass is fail to most people.
The NKJV has scores of verses omited and you won't agree that was done for sinister reasons, so no point in that.

Back to the main reason I mentioned you.
It may not be that she was an unmarried non-virgin that Jesus instructed her not to touch him, it may be she was just menstruating. And a menstruating woman is unclean according to the law.
Leviticus 15:19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

Jesus needing to obey the whole law for all who would believe in Him alone for heaven, couldn't be found wanting especially before presenting His perfect sacrifice to the Father.
That's why even the woman with the issue of blood only touched the hem of His garments, and He still felt power leave Him. If she touched His body that would have been enough to fail the mission He came to do on earth. As I said before, we don't condemn non-virgin unmarried women but their are consequences in THIS life for Sins and if she's a believer she cannot go to hell for her sins
😂 How come the woman with the issue of blood touched Jesus, but He didn't burn that cloth? Using your logic, maybe He didn't have another one. Assumptions on top of assumptions just to defend a weak point. Though I tend to avoid arguing in person, I'm very comfortable with my keyboard, and when I see things like this online, especially misogyny, I jump in because I truly hate it and the harm it does to people.

It is clear you are yet to fully understand or grasp Jesus or His mission. Though, this convo has worn me out. I will give it one last shot.

The Bible was translated from Greek to English by humans, not angels. Errors happen. It is okay to fix a translation that needs fixing, as long as it stays true to the original apostolic manuscripts.

Do some research so you don't keep spreading misinformation. The Bible encourages seeking truth. God won't send you to hell for asking questions or seeking answers. He's not some angry monster. He is a loving Father who welcomes honest questions. Hezekiah asked for a sign, Jonah was mad at God, and many did similar. God doesn't often just dish out judgment; He often gives grace before judgement.

The NKJV didn't remove verses from the KJV. At least compare them side by side before concluding. They come from the same manuscript family. NKJV just corrected interpretation mistakes and updated the language for modern readers without changing the content. But clearly, you're fixed in your view.

Where are you getting your information from? Who is actually feeding you this kind of ugly logic? How can you even imagine that the woman with the issue of blood was only "allowed" to touch Jesus' garment, or else it would have ruined His mission? Do you take Jesus for someone powerless, scared, mute person, or a liar? If touching Him really defiled or jeopardized His purpose, He would have said so Himself. But instead, He allowed many others to touch Him. Jesus replied to the woman and said, "Daughter, your faith has made you well" (Mark 5:34). No rebuke. No mention of impurity. Just mercy.

Jesus is holiness. Nothing can touch Him and pollute Him. In fact, anything He touches becomes clean.

What is an issue of blood compared to leprosy? Jesus touched a leper (Matthew 8:2-3); something strictly forbidden under Mosaic law. Did that ruin His mission? No. He made the leper clean. That's real power.

Even a sinful woman washed His feet with her tears and hair (Luke 7:36-50). She didn't just touch His garment; she touched His feet intimately, passionately, and without shame. And Jesus affirmed her act. Imagine that.

Jesus doesn't rebuke people; He rebukes demons. Anything truly unworthy runs from Him, just like the man with legions. Demons dare not come near Him.

Jesus made it clear: He came for the unclean, the broken; not the perfect. He welcomed tax collectors, sinners, and women considered outcasts. He let them be near Him, touch Him, eat with Him, and follow Him.


1. (Proverbs 15:14) A wise person actively seeks knowledge instead of accepting everything without question.

2. (1 Thessalonians 5:21) We are commanded to test all things and hold onto what is good; not just blindly accept everything.

3. (1 John 4:1) Believers are warned not to believe every spirit but to test whether they are truly from God.

4. (Luke 1:3) Luke, in writing his Gospel, carefully investigated everything before presenting it; he did research rather than just assuming.

5. (Ecclesiastes 1:13) Solomon intentionally applied his mind to seek and explore wisdom about all that happens under Heaven.

6. (Malachi 3:10) God invites us to test Him; to try and find out if His promises hold true.

7. (James 3:14-16) Wisdom that comes from envy and selfish ambition is earthly and destructive; true wisdom is sought and tested.

Let's be real: Jesus wasn't bound by ritual laws like the religious leaders wanted. He fulfilled the law, yes, but not through legalism. He fulfilled it by walking in perfect love, grace, and truth. Your logic and interpretation misses that completely.

If Jesus had truly been bound by ritualistic impurity, He wouldn't have allowed contact with sinners and those society labeled "unclean" He wasn't a slave to the old covenant's ritual laws. He came to fulfill the law and show the way of grace and mercy.

Jesus' holiness is not some distant, untouchable purity; but a powerful, compassionate presence that transforms uncleanness into healing and forgiveness.

Jesus wasn't a fragile religious figure afraid of getting dirty. He didn’t fear being touched by the unclean; He restored them. He didn't avoid or condemn those considered unclean; He embraced them. That alone should show you how off base your judgmental mindset is. In fact, He challenged exactly the kind of toxic thinking you are pushing.

You are using Scripture to shame people. Jesus used Scripture to restore them. Big difference.

You are not practicing Christianity. Christianity is different from Judaism. Even Judaism; you are not practicing it well; you are just selecting laws that align with your perspective. I bet you can't keep half of Judaism's laws. I have lived among Jewish people and have Jewish friends. Jews follow 600+ laws, pray several times daily, do rituals for many occasions, and recite prayers regularly, such as blessings during the hand washing ritual before meals, after using the toilet, before bedtime, and so on. Many Jews even discourage conversion unless you are truly ready. According to Judaism, Jewish laws are not meant for non-Jews; you are mainly encouraged to follow the 7 Noahide laws; that is what pertains to non-Jews.

Ritual laws like menstrual impurity belonged to the old covenant and don't apply under grace. Jesus even allowing a leper to touch Him, which was forbidden by law, says it all.

God disciplines believers to help them grow, but this discipline is not punishment for sins that have been confessed and forgiven. In Christ, by grace, God does not just forgive sins; He completely wipes them away, as if they never happened. Hebrews 8:12 tells us that God 'forgets' sins. This means forgiven sins no longer bring divine punishment or condemnation. Romans 8:1 confirms, 'There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' God does not punish people for sins they have truly confessed and been forgiven for. God forgives, redeems, and can even empower the worst sinners to become great men and women of God.

You can choose to stick to your traditional beliefs; that's fine. But I choose truth and grace.

If even a few people reading this, especially those who have held views like yours but are open to learning, get my point, that's enough. I have made my explanation clear.

You created another Jesus, your own Jesus. And I don't care about you or your Jesus
