This is really a two part question
1. Is the woman who is on her monthly flow unclean still (even with the imputed blood of Christ), if not, would it be sin that she would have sexual relations with her husband during this time?
Now for the theonomy part
How would you regulate this if you believe question 1 is sinful? Or would you regulate it?
Taking these two pages to mind of course
Lev 15
19 “‘When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.
20 “‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. 21 Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 22 Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 23 Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening.
24 “‘If a man has sexual relations with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean.
as well as
Lev 18:24
19 “‘Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period.
20 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her.
21 “‘Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
23 “‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
24 “‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws
My first observations are this
Lev 15 seems to be addressing loss "life", blood/semen etc represent life and you cannot have worship with God without perfect life. Thus, with the imputed blood of Christ one has perfect life. Also, another understanding that is as valid is just staying clean and the society staying clean during this time. Thus, the point of Lev 15 is pointing to what Christ did etc.
Lev 17 however lumps having sexual relations with a woman on her "time of the month" with others abominations and which are the reasons they are destroying the people to begin with. Thus, make me question if Lev 15 is still saying that or if there is something more.
In reference to the theonomy question, it seems like this would be the priests Job/the churches job not a civil law. Thus, would you church discipline someone for not repenting of doing this if you believe this is sinful?
