| Comparison The way of Jesus Christ (Peace be upon him) Following the earlier Prophets and Fulfilling their Laws.
22- PURITY Washing the entire body Moses (Peace be upon him) commanded the laws in (Leviticus eleven), (Leviticus 12), and (Deuteronomy fourteen). for purity (tohoRAH) / impurity (tumAH).
David (Peace be upon him) washed to be clean and went to the house of the LORD and worshiped: (2 Samuel 12:20), Elisha (Peace be upon him): (2 Kings 5:10,14).
Jesus (Peace be upon him) didn't abolish or oppose the purity/impurity laws. Jesus (Peace be upon him) answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, ..." (John 13:10).
Jesus (Peace be upon him) didn't reject any contemporary ritual impurity regulations. The New Testament showed that the practice of washing the body (ritual purity and its spiritual, moral and ethical counterpart) with pure water was continued by the followers of Jesus (Peace be upon him): (Hebrews 10:22).
Jesus (Peace be upon him) carefully followed and fulfilled this law.
Christians' way Now days Many Christian do not follow the purity/impurity Leviticus laws. For example, men and their wives after their sexual intercourse, men after the seminal discharge, women in their monthly period can enter the churches and pray normally without washing their body for purity. This action was based on Paul's Epistles: (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) "Pray without ceasing". However, this verse simply means "always remember God", it does not mean "Pray while you are pure and/or impure"!
Christians do not follow the law fulfilled by Jesus (Peace be upon him).
Muslims' way There are many Islamic laws for purity (taharah) / impurity (najasah). For example: men and their wives after their sexual intercourse, men after the seminal discharge, women in their monthly period can't enter the Mosque and pray until they are completely purified and shower their whole body for purity. In Islam menstruation is neither "the curse" nor a result of the so-called original sin of Eve. The Noble Qur'an (2:22).
Islam provided divine guidance both from Almighty God (Allah) and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) by which a person could "always remember God."
Was Jesus (Peace be upon him) a Christian? Was Jesus (Peace be upon him) a Muslim? Yes |
