What utter nonsense!

What Christ showed the disciples, by washing their feet, was the following:

1. Servanthood - He, God Incarnate, was willing to serve and wash the feet of his disciples, when by right, they should be doing Him due service by washing His feet. He was showing them that following Christ was to renounce seeking glory and position, but being willing to take the lowliest seat and place, if that was what was on offer.

2. The Impact of His Shed Blood Upon The Sin Nature of Man - When a man has repented of his sins, is cleansed by the blood of Christ and is now a child of God, there can be no more repentance of this type. He is free from sin. But due to our nature, that man will still fall from time-to-time and for these, his heart cries out to God and he repents for falling short of the mark.

He is still a child of God, despite his falling into sin, but as one who seeks to please his Father in every way, he returns and asks for forgiveness. This is different to the first true repentance when he recognised that he was a sinner and deserving of the wrath of God and that unless Christ will have him, he must perish eternally.

Peter, seeing this in its full picture, asked that Christ wash him from head to foot! Christ's response was that he was already clean, but as they had gone out into the world and their feet had picked up dust, this was the only part that needed to be cleaned for Peter to be fully clean again (why wash the head when it was clean? Our Lord was and is not in the business of wasting resources). Peter was not willing to take a chance that his head and hands might be clean, he wanted double assurance! But the soothing words of Christ assured him that his assurance was secure and more than that. The lesson was that despite our best efforts, sin still finds a way to cleave to us and we must be diligent in rooting them out again and again.

Popes and Priests have bastardised this simple and effective analogy that Christ displayed. He never (and I dare you to show me in the bible) laid this down as a 'ritual' for Christians in the coming age to follow and I never read of Paul encouraging this either. Two things He left us; Baptising with water and sharing of Communion with one another and even these, men have made every attempt to drag into 'rituals', rather than what Christ intended them to be for.

This is the problem with man today. The simple 'repent and believe' in Christ for your salvation is not enough. Where someone will write all sorts to lead them astray, where their flesh will be titillated and their souls impoverished, that is what they will draw to their itching ears and carry out with all their might.

poundlander:
why do you have to wait for a year to wash your feet when you can wash it 5 Times a day?

Vaabra01:
church tinz by 5pm..Anglican sure pass

No God through Jesus has given us the keys to the Kingdom. Scriptures are for us to learn and follow. All scripture is given by God for doctrine. All!! all .

saintmark88:
Catholic Church indeed understands d scriptures, they are not bout miracles n witches n wizards killing pple, or about enemies dying, they just understand d scriptures, n follow their sacred traditions tht even a modern world cannot threaten..... I think I'll join them mark this Easter period, I am tired of prosperity teaching n my church n sowing of seed everyday, no moral teaching, it's just prosperity.

...a very lengthy post but worth every second I spent training my eyes on it...

Pdizzle:

Reb, don't you think feminists will come for the church on a large scale very soon, and want to be priests? That part of the article makes God appear a sexist.

Rayhutar:

Despite criticisms Catholic Church remain the best Christian church in the world, no preaching of prosperity, build your riches in heaven where no termites will devour it, no sowing of seed for you to be rich, God can give riches to anybody and Satan can give riches, a muslim,Pegan,Budha,Jewish, Atheist,Armed robbers, Ritualist,Corrupt politicians and dubious business men etc can be rich. That somebody is rich does not mean that he is blessed by God, but most Pentecostals see riches of this world as must for all believers.

Catholicism tries to fuse Christianity and paganism, that's where I have issues. I like the part of lenten observation once a year but the doctrines of purgatory, virgin Mary, prayer to saints, and so on made me leave. It's either you are totally for Jesus or not. I am not after material things or prosperity but the salvation of my soul. I am a sinner I admit, but Jesus has given me hope.

...U NEED A STRONG FAITH AS A CATHOLIC(If only u are)....Its has been lyk dat from the begining(the belive that BVM intercedes 4 us nd SAINTS prays for us) nd will always remain lyk dat till the END......

Ubenedictus:
purgatory, intercessioo of saints and mary, are part and parcel of christianity, it has been there since time imemoral, it isnt from paganism it is christianity. U just havent studied that far.

Sacluxpaint:


Read about emperor Constantine and origin of catholicism. If it's not totally about Christ, don't call it Christianity.

Ubenedictus:
even Mary, purgatory and intercession is all about Christ, there can be no intercession without that unique mediator called Jesus! He is the reason whx xtians can interceed, mary is who she is cos of Jesus, no Jesus, no mary, what is purgatory if not the application of d merits of Jesus who save our souls by fire even though our works are imperfect 1cor 3:15. It all is about jesus

Ubenedictus:
all scripture is profitable for doctrine, but not all specifically and literarily applies to u. Many old testament pasage do not apply to us, they are time specific, when d new came they became obsolate, others are people specific like d one that concern old testament priest and matt 16:16 where Jesus specifically call peter by name and promise him keys, that was a person specific one.

So yes there are scripture that were addressed to a person or some group of persons.
