Hi Kalos: Exodus 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. I believe church is also a holy ground. Thanks, gundalas |

The point Kalos is making is that this is written to Moses at the burning bush! And realize this: the temple in the Old Testament was the dwelling place of our Holy God. Now He dwells in US...believers! God told Moses to remove his shoes to make him realize that He is a Holy God! The church building is a place Christians come to fellowship, worship and hear the Word. The NT church met in each other's houses...the Temple God is concerned with is YOU! | ||||||

Dear friends: thanks for your responses. I go to church in India and they DO NOT allow anyone to enter church with shoes. we treat church as God's temple. We have to leave shoes outside the church and enter into it bare footed. That is why i wanted to know why American churches allow shoes. thanks for your comments. God Bless you. Thanks, gundalas |

Hi gundalas! Though the responses that were given you were correct, I do not see any problem with your particular practice. We are all called to serve the Lord with humility and love. As the woman at Jesus' feet worshipped Him in a simple and loving fashion, Jesus did not forbid her from doing so! I believe that we have a cultural difference that is not shun by our Lord: in India your custom of removing your shoes before entering the Church demonstrate respect for the Church as a holy place, in other parts of the world they may not; but each will worship the Lord in love and humility, and that unites us in fellowship! God Bless! Angel |
