Bible Note: Dear Val, May I ask, do you personally believe washing hands before eating is wrong? Do you personally believe the Pharisees transgressed the command of God by changing the penalty of death? It seems to me that as much as their hearts were wrong, how can you fault them for their decisions on hand washing and the death sentence? I am just trying to make sense of Jesus' teachings. If I can't reconcile the rationale how am I to understand what he wants me to do? Should I abandon hand washing and fight for reinstatement of the death penalty to rebellious children? If I don't them like many people today, I am rejecting his teachings. Dave Dave |
