The Jesus View of Hand Washing....
Jesus' Advice On Handwashing and Health
Hand washing Mark chapter 7

The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,
2and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.
3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;
4and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.
5The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?"

Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.' "

Was this good advice that Jesus gave the crowd. For health reasons isn’t it prudent to wash your hands, cups and pitchers and copper pots?

What do health professionals always tell you concerning how to avoid getting sick?
Wash your hands. Wash your hands before eating. My mother always insisted that I wash my hands when I came into the house, and before eating.

Is there “Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him,”” as Jesus said? What about bacteria, viruses, and poisons, that may be on your hands, and may find their way into your mouth and make you sick, if you don’t wash them off your hands?

If Jesus is God, didn’t Jesus sin by giving people false information that could result in death or disease? [Criminal indifference to Human Life]

If Jesus didn’t know that his information was false, doesn’t that prove that he is not God?

In the Hebrew Scriptures, there is Scripture that makes it incumbent for all to take measures to shield others from safety hazards to which the unwary might fall victim. [Deuteronomy 22:8] Jesus ignored this principle.

If you study the Hebrew Scriptures you find that there are laws which are intended to keep people healthy.
Hand washing keeps people healthy.
By going against hand washing Jesus was encouraging people to eat with dirty hands possibly exposing them to disease.
It doesn't seem right that Jesus could be who people think he is if he has an attitude that is dangerous to people's health.

Jesus' followers ate with dirty hands.
In the dark ages of Christianity people believed Demons were responsible for disease.
Maybe if Jesus knew ....and would have told people about how disease is spread people wouldn't have been dying while trying to get a demon removed.
Remember Jesus healed by casting out demons....was that truthful? Or just rank superstition?

Back in Jesus' day, people ate with their fingers from communal bowls. [Matthew 26:23]
If one man relieves his bowels, doesn't adequately wash his hands, and then lays down to eat with his fingers from the community bowl, he could make everyone eating from that bowl sick.
A man has an obligation under the Law to protect the health and well being of his neighbor. Don't you agree?
Yes....the ritual of hand washing had a religious significance, but it was also in place to protect the health of the people.
We have all heard the saying....Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
The Scripture quoted in Mark 7 says ..."""some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.""
So it wasn't a matter of them not washing good enough. They didn't wash their hands at all.

Go get 'em, corona!
