Oh Lev 15. We don't live in Israel and the temple is not at our disposal. Blessing or curse or momentary convenience? How do we survive? Not too many mikvahs are available and a temple for offerings is also not present for he and she when required according to . There are answers for today to these questions of being "clean". Always do all that you can as He reveals His will to you. Do your own thing and guilt will get the better of you. Micha'el

Someone stated, "If you're unclean, you can't approach Father."
So does this mean that I cannot pray to my Heavenly Father if I am on niddyah or have some other uncleanness? Sorry I came across this along my searching.

Sorry I came across this along my searching. Moriah Ruth The ritual purity laws were meant to keep those who were entering the sanctuary from being unclean when they approached YHVH in the sanctuary. Leviticus 15:31-33 (CJB) 31 (Maftir) “‘In this way you will separate the people of Isra’el from their uncleanness, so that they will not die in a state of uncleanness for defiling my tabernacle which is there with them. 32 “‘Such is the law for the person who has a discharge; for the man who has a seminal emission that makes him unclean; 33 for the woman in niddah during her menstrual period; for the person, man or woman, with a discharge; and for the man who has sexual relations with a woman who is unclean. These laws were put in place to protect those who entered the Sanctuary because if you got close to the Shekinah that traveled with the Israelites, you died, because you approached in a state of sin.
No Believer in Yeshua is in a state of sin any more, so that approaching YHVH is freely permitted to us at anytime or place. The purity laws, for men or women, stretch beyond the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, was to make sure that others were not forced to be in a ritually unclean state when meeting for prayers, or study. If they choose not to follow the , that is between them and G-d, but we should never inadvertantly place anyone into a state of sin.
As for your worship practices, ritual uncleanliness was not a means of cutting you off from YHVH...one could always pray by oneself...no-one, male or female, was required to enter an assembly merely to pray. If you recall, Yeshua mostly went away from everyone to pray, except on Shabbat.
