Thom Tillis - End Socialist Handwashing Mandate

I'm a little surprised no thread has been created on this earlier.

What a GODLY man.

He also is backed up by JESUS CHRIST who told people they didn't have to wash their hands either! Have they never read Mark Chapter 7?

Making people wash their hands is yet another example of human traditions instead of honoring God.
"laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do"

I don't believe in washing my hands before I eat, and if a restaurant employee doesn't want too either, that's A-OK!

I'll stick with what Jesus says!

North Carolina must be blessed for having such wise and God-fearing politicians.

You may have a point there. Aside from some medical conditions I never get sick, and the closest I come to washing my hands is when I do the dishes! Don't even get me started on hand sanitizer. That's the work of the Devil.

I wash and expect food workers wash their hands also.

Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

Indeed. Look at modern science and see the superbugs created due to bacterial resistance largely caused by hand sanitizer and bacterial soap! (And no atheists, this is not evolution. Evolution is the addition of new genetic information, turning crocodiles into ducks and the like. This is just some characteristics in a population of a given kind being expressed with greater frequency.) If people didn't wash their hands they would've instead built up a natural immunity without causing these superbugs to take form.

My husband, Mr. Whitford, agrees this is Marxism at its most virulent and has ordered all hand soap removed from our houses.

Matthew 15:1-20 describes this perfectly.

Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. 3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables. 5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Mr. Farmer just said that.

Re: Thom Tillis - End Socialist Handwashing Mandate

Brethren,

I'd also like to add that we know very well who DID wash his hands and we also know how cowardly this was.

Matthew 27:24
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.


Do we really want to associate ourselves with this pre-papist Roman? I think the answer is obvious.

Soap is formed in a chemical reaction between lye and fat and its manufacture requires precise science. This is of the type not endorsed by Creation Science nor Jesus.

1 Timothy 6:20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

Case resolved.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Matthew is telling a story to illistrate a point, as most of the stories in the Bible are meant to. It is not meant to be taken literally.

Re: Thom Tillis - End Socialist Handwashing Mandate

Matthew is telling a story to illistrate a point, as most of the stories in the Bible are meant to. It is not meant to be taken literally.

Of course the Bible is to be taken literally.

2nd Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Psalm 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

Have you even read the Bible(KJV1611)?
