  1. Dear

    It is mentioned in Holy books of Christianity about it, but they are not following owing to the continuous changes taking place in their practices after Jesus Christ Eisa peace be on him.

    While ablution (washing of face, arms, feet, and moistening of the hair) prior to worship is not done by modern Christians, it is required of Muslims and previous prophets, as seen in the following biblical passages:

    Exodus 40:31-32: "And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat; When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses."

    Although Paul made many changes in Jesus' teaching, he was faithful in respect to ablution, as seen in Acts 21:26: "Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple'..."

      


  2. Nope.  Only matters what's in your heart!

  3. I really can't find a quote that says one does not need to do this. I can tell you that I've never seen it in a variety of Christian services/denominations.

  4. "Oh yes, oh yes. Thou wilt be exhorted by the unclean infidels to cleanse the body to worship. Beware for it is the soul that needs cleansing".  

  5. I cannot really speak for all of Christianity, but I know for a fact that Catholics do not do this.  Well, maybe the priest washes his hands before some ceremony, but that is really it.  There is no requirement for us to be physically clean.
