>Why do you think Jesus practiced the muslimÂ’s style of washing? He lived a long time before Mohammed and Isaac and Ishmael separated their ways a long time before Israel, IsaacÂ’s son started the Israelis.
I don’t claim that it was the exact form or for the same exact reasons. What I do know is that the practice of washing one’s feet had long been established in the region, and that Christ himself practiced it.
I argue against dispersions of the faith of others because we are not ourselves accustomed to it. I call it religious bigotry to mock that which othere do in faithful worship to their god. I also find it odd that a Chtistian would mock an act that follows what Christ himself engaged in (the washing of feet). And in fact Christ commanded that we shake the dust off our feet when a person rejected Christ’s gospel.
It is odd to me how many “good” people find it humorous to mock the faith of others. That, to me, is not what Christ would do.
I wasn’t mocking. I was asking a question. As I understand it from history, washing feet was a hospitality thing. Jesus did it with his disciples as a lesson in humility. I DO resent having my tax dollars supporting someone else’s worship practices.
