What does it mean to be 'untouchable' in a spiritual sense?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'untouchable' spiritually refers to our condition of total depravity and separation from God without His grace.

The concept of being 'untouchable' spiritually reflects the state of humanity as described in Scripture, where individuals are depicted as being in deep bondage to sin and unable to reach God's standard of holiness. Total depravity, as described in the Five Points of Dordrecht (TULIP), illustrates how sin affects every part of our being, making us unclean before a holy God. However, like the leper who approached Jesus in desperation, realizing his condition, we too must acknowledge our inability to cleanse ourselves. The good news is that through Christ, 'the untouchables' can be embraced and made whole, finding acceptance and healing in the unconditional love and grace of God.
