Shaking Hands with Jesus

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.

There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. He possessed 7, sheep, 3, camels, yoke of oxen, and female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east. His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all.

And the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes. You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them.

I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the Lord. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.

Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first.

If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation.

Bible Theasaurus

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.

Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,. The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

When ye rise up for prayer, wash you faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and wash your feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women , and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it.

Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks. But if you do touch a woman and you can't find any water to clean up with, just rub some dirt on yourself.

But Muhammad did, according to the hadith, address shaking hands with women. Here's what he supposedly said. I do not shake hands with women. It is better for you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle than to touch the hand of a woman who is to permissible to you. So Christians, Jews, and Muslims agree: It is better for a man not to touch a woman. And maybe someone should find an iron needle for that smiling Indonesian minister.

Posted by Steve Wells 9 comments: I like how these things are incredibly vague some of the time, and ridiculously detailed the rest of the time. Is it a bit better than being stabbed in the head with a copper needle then, maybe?

Handshake - Wikipedia

Can you even get copper needles? What are they trying to say? Yeah it is confusing, isn't it uzza? But I think all three sources are saying the same thing from different perspectives. Paul is anti-sex and anti-marriage. Jesus is coming back any day now, so just stay away from women. If you can anyway. If not, WTF go ahead and marry. The OT God just hates women and is disgusted by menstruation. So don't get anywhere near them while that's happening.

Handshakes are known to spread a number of microbial pathogens. Certain diseases such as scabies are known to spread the most through direct skin-to-skin contact.

A medical study has found that fist bumps and high fives spread fewer germs than handshakes. In light of the H1N1 pandemic , the dean of medicine at the University of Calgary , Tomas Feasby , suggested that fist bumps may be a "nice replacement of the handshake" in an effort to prevent transmission of the virus. It has been discovered as a part of a research in the Weizmann Institute , that human handshakes serve as a means of transferring social chemical signals between the shakers.

It appears that there is a tendency to bring the shaken hands to the vicinity of the nose and smell them. They may serve an evolutionary need to learn about the person whose hand was shaken, replacing a more overt sniffing behavior, as is common among animals and in certain human cultures such as Tuvalu, Greenland or rural Mongolia, where a quick sniff is part of the traditional greeting ritual.
