Explanations About Unwashed Hands
A company of Scribes and Pharisees came from Jerusalem to learn wherein the power of Jesus lay. But when they learned that He and His disciples heeded not the custom of the Israelites, regarding washing of the hands before they ate, they were amazed. And Jesus said, “Hypocrisy is queen among you Scribes and Pharisees. Of you Isaiah wrote:

‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,

And honor Me with their lips,

But their heart is far from Me.

And in vain they worship Me,

Their teaching are false doctrines

and commandments forged by humanity.'"

You men who pose as men of God, and still reject the laws of God and teach the laws of men, stand forth and tell when God gave the ceremonial laws that you observe. And tell these people how the spirit life is sullied if a person does not wash hands before he eats. His critics answered not, and then He said, “Hear me, you men of Israel! Defilement is a creature of the heart. The carnal mind lays hold of thought, and makes a monstrous bride. This bride is sin. Sin is a creature of the mind. That which defiles a man is not the food he eats.

“The bread, fish and other things we eat, are simply cups to carry to the cells of flesh material for the building of the human house, the body, and when their work is done they are cast away as refuse, as faeces and urines. The life of plant and flesh that goes to build the human house is never food for soul. The spirit does not feed upon the carcasses of animal or plant.

“God feeds the soul direct from heaven. The bread of life comes from above.
The air we breathe is charged with Holy Spirit, and whoever that wills may take this Holy Spirit by breathing in. The soul discriminates, and he who wants the life of Christ may breathe it in. According to your faith so let it be.

“Man is not a part of his abiding place. The house is not the man. The body is not the spirit. The lower world builds up the house of flesh (earthly things nourish and maintain the body), and keeps it in repair. The higher world provides the bread of spirit life (heavenly food nourish and maintain the spirit). The loveliest lilies grow from stagnant ponds and filthiest waste. The law of flesh demands that one should keep the body clean. The law of spirit call for purity in thought, word and deed.”

Now, when the evening came and they were in the house, the twelve had many things to say, and many questions to ask. Nathaniel asked, “Was what you said about the house of flesh (the body) a parable? If so, what does it mean?”
And Jesus said, “Can you not yet discriminate? Do you not yet perceive that what a man takes in his mouth defiles him not?
His food does not go into his soul. It is material for flesh, bone and brawn. To spirit everything is clean.
“That which defiles a man wells up from carnal thoughts. And carnal thoughts spring from the heart, and generate a host of evil things. From out of the heart comes murders, thefts and foolishness. All selfish acts and sensual deeds spring from the heart. To eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”

And Peter said, “Lord, What you said today has grievously offended scribe and Pharisee.”
And Jesus said, “These Scribes and Pharisees are not the branches of the tree of life (They are not the teachers of Truth). They are not plants of God. They are the plants of men, groups created by humanity. Every tree not planted by my Father shall be uprooted – all the false prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers, and all their false teachings and wrong practices, must be corrected or stopped.

“Let all these men alone. They are blind guides. They lead a multitude of blind people. The leaders and the led together walk. Together they will fall into the yawning pits – end up inside the hell regions of fire.”

“Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

Failure To Wash Hand Is Not A Sin

The point Jesus was making is that failure to wash hands is not a sin, to the extents and in the form the Pharisees and Scribes were taking it. Sometimes, washing hand is good but not compulsory. The dirt and stains on the body of a child do not make the child a sinner, and do not make the parents to reject the child.

Also, washing of hands is good but not always compulsory. Yourself has eaten many times, without washing your hands. The problem is that the Pharisees and Scribes made it compulsory that a person must always wash his hands before eating. And there were mane other laws, which were introduced by the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes. And people were obeying the man-made laws, without knowing that the laws were not given by God.

Why Washing Hand Is Hygienically Correct

Without being told, it is good to wash hands before eating, because the hands touch many things during the day. Your hands are always in the air and winds, which contains various dirt, dusts and impurities. Check your finger nails, sometimes, you see loads of dirt beneath them. You use the same hands to sneeze, to cough and to blow out the mucus from the nose, or to clean tears and saliva. Sometimes, the hands are stained with the urine and other things. And people use the hands to clean sweat, and wipe out dusts and stains. Therefore, it is very good and necessary to wash the hands before eating, but that is not always compulsory.

Why Washing Hand Is Spiritually Necessary

The washing of hand is very necessary, because there are many and various powers of darkness in the human environments. The devilish powers are the evil potencies of the forces of darkness, and evil deposits by the evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches, idols, charms and black energies, which are now numerous in the world. And even so they spread their evil potencies, and deposit the same evil potencies on the things in our environments. The market places are polluted with idols and pagan altars. Even so are the roads and pathways, the trees and vegetables.

And You Must Wash With The Holy Waters

The use of ordinary water can only make you physically, hygienically, clean, but cannot remove or defeat the forces of darkness and powers of darkness. The rivers, waterways, oceans and seas are being polluted with idols, charms and rituals.

Whenever the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven tell you to wash your hand, face, head and feet, you must use the holy waters – Consuming Fire, Blood of Jesus, Water of Life, Thunder and Lightning, etc, for only these holy waters are able to destroy, disable and wash away the forces and powers of darkness.

And Not Only Your Hands

You shall often wash not only your hands with holy waters, especially in the mornings and evenings, when you take your bath or as a routine wash. But also wash your face, head and feet, because these are the major contact parts of the body, always exposed to dusts and winds. Many winds blow good unto us, while many other winds blow powers of darkness unto our bodies.

Always remember to bath with holy waters, and not the ordinary water. All these washings are both good and compulsory, even so now that forces of darkness and powers of darkness abound everywhere in the human society. As the wind and breeze blow from place to place, and from time to time, even so the evil spirits and demons roam about and spread their various powers of darkness.
