quote:
Christ's compassion was not just for those who believed. In the Bible those that said they "believed" were sometimes those who rejected him the most.

Don't act like Jesus and his disciples were some sort of all star preaching conglomerate. They were country boys, fishermen from small towns ( most of them) the majority were Galileans like himself who were dismissed, shunned and disliked by their Jewish brothers as a whole. Jesus being from Nazareth was looked down on. There was country and then there was Nazareth

Jesus recognized that for his word to resonate, he could not be overly picky, he had to stress that the message was for all.....something that Paul had to remind the apostles like James and Peter. The idolator was just as worthy of delivering the word to as was a Jew.

I honestly do not know what you are even referencing here.

We are talking about the biblical purpose of washing feet here, and there is only one truth, and that’s what scripture tells us, and it tells us plainly that it is a sign of spiritual cleaning in both the manner in which Christ washed the feet of the disciples, and in the manner in which Mary washed Christ’s feet in appreciation of forgiveness of her many sins.

An unrepentant sinner who rejects Christ is not a candidate for this because he’s already rejected Christ and what Christ offers, the remission of sins through HIM. It’s not some kind deed Christ did for His disciples. It has spiritual meaning, the likes of which is not defined in that advertisement.

Humility. Washing the feet was a sign of humility. Christ was humble, he saw the sinner as well as the righteous as worthy of respect . It was because he came from humble origin, Nazareth was as humble a place as there could be.

But you are bitching about the add and suggesting that the people at He Gets Us are about giving absolution to unrepentant sinners.....I 'm not seeing that at all. The message is that Jesus is humble enough to show you respect....and he was. Jesus washed the feet of his apostles who were flawed men . Are you suggesting that the Hobby Lobby guys are new age Christian? They are not. Serious Christians, they are though.

Stop telling people they have to come to Christ. Christ would go to people to offer the gift. The gift is available to all
