Gods rules
Part of an article I read at godsaidmansaid.com The continents of Europe and Asia have periodically been engulfed by epidemics of leprosy and plague, especially from 1200 to 1400. Over sixty million people, almost one-third of the population of Europe in the fourteenth century, are estimated to have died by the Black Death (bubonic plague). Those who survived described scenes that sounded like the haunting visions of Dante’s descriptions of hell.
How was this dreaded plague finally stopped? During a trip to Vienna, in the center of the city. I examined a strange-looking plague statue dedicated to the Black Death’s countless victims and the actions of the church fathers to abolish the curse of that plague. In light of God’s advanced health laws, one might expect to learn that it was only after the people began to follow the Biblical laws of sanitation and disease control that the epidemic was broken.
Several church leaders began to search the Bible to discover whether there was a practical solution. They saw that in Leviticus 13:46, Moses laid down strict regulations regarding the treatment of those afflicted with leprosy or plague: “All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.” God answered their prayers for deliverance when they finally began to obey His Scriptural commands. This divine medical rule demanded that a person who contracted the plague must be isolated from the general population during his infectious period.
Fortunately, the church fathers of Vienna finally took the Biblical injunctions to heart and commanded that those infected with the plague must be placed outside the city in special medical quarantine compounds. Caregivers fed them until they either died or survived the disease. Those who died in homes or streets were quickly removed and buried outside the city. These Biblical sanitation measures quickly brought the dreaded epidemic under control. Other cities and countries rapidly followed the medical practices of Vienna until the deadly spread of the Black Death was halted.
Until the twentieth century, nearly every society other than the Israelites kept infected patients in their homes—even after death—unknowingly exposing other people to deadly disease. Even during the Black Death epidemic, patients who were sick or had died were kept in the same rooms as the rest of the family. People often wondered why the disease affected so many people at one time. They attributed the epidemic to “bad air” or evil spirits. However, careful attention to the medical commands of God as revealed in Leviticus would have saved untold millions of lives. Arturo Castiglioni characterized this Biblical law with these words: “The laws against leprosy in Leviticus 13 may be regarded as the first model of a sanitary legislation.”
Moses’ instruction to segregate infected patients from their families and other people was one of the most important medical advances in human history. Yet no other ancient nation followed this effective medical regulation. The only reasonable explanation is that Moses received this advanced medical knowledge from God’s inspiration. [End of quotes]

What is the conviction of sin?
What is the conviction of sin?: What is the conviction of sin? What is the difference between guilt and the conviction of sin? What should I do when I feel convicted about sin? How can I tell if I'm feeling true conviction of sin from the Holy Spirit?

מעה meyah
The word translated “heart” in this verse is not the Hebrew word לב (lev, Strong's #3820), which means “heart,” but מעה (meyah , Strong's #4578), which means “gut” or “abdomen.”
When King David wrote ותורתך בתוך מעי ( v’torat’kha betokh mey’ai / your Torah
Have you ever been so excited about something that your guts moved or churned? David was so excited about God’s torah that it caused his guts to move.
This is the feeling that Job had when he said: “My guts boiled” (Job 30:27). Do our guts churn when we hear the teachings of God like David did?
We often use the expression “I had a ‘gut’ feeling” and refer to a thought that does not come from the mind, but from deep down in our subconscious, the gut.
I am of the opinion that these “gut” feelings are sometimes God speaking to us, but our heart and mind (actually in Hebraic thought the mind is in the heart, not the brain) are our own thoughts that cloud over what God is speaking.
Shalom❤️
