These verses speak for themselves---but they really spoke to me this morning!
Haggai 2:12-13 (Amplified)
"If one carries in the skirt of his garment flesh that is holy [because it has been offered in sacrifice to God], and with his skirt or the flaps of his garment he touches bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does what he touches become holy [dedicated to God's service exclusively]? And the priests answered, No! [Holiness is not infectious.]
Then said Haggai, If one who is [ceremonially] unclean because he has come in contact with a dead body should touch any of these articles of food, shall it be [ceremonially] unclean? And the priests answered, It shall be unclean. [Unholiness is infectious.]"
*Holiness is not infectious. (It's a choice--it's not something you can give to another)
*Unholiness is infectious. (I Cor. 15:33 "Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships [communion, associations] corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.")
