Greetings- no handshake, elbow bump, nor foot tap

[Neighbor]

Hi, hands together so that I do not reach out to shake hands,  doing a slight nod of the hands while they are clasped together only and a voicing of  Shalom or hi or peace. Can't it be that easy to begin changing the handshake tradition?

 

Have a better one?

 

Shalom-

[Alive]

I pirouette and a smile to finish.

[Jayne]

How about just a wave or a clap.

Currently I am just nodding or waving!

Actually shaking hands isn't such a good idea to begin with.   I always washed my hands after the rest room but noted many who didn't!

Shalom-

greet one another with a Holy kiss

I suppose elder's are not suppose to lay hands on the sick any more?

also does this mean Christians shouldn't take lord supper / feet washing also because of social distancing ?

not to mention close down church because Caesar said so 

not much faith going these days

Hi, Though I disagree with most all the policies set  by the authorities, the powers, of almost all the nations at this time, in  an abundance of faith that God is sovereign plus the preponderance of guidance, illumination, and command  of God throughout the Bible OT and NT,  I find that I am commanded by God to obey the rulers the authorities for God has put them there to fulfill His will  over mine, to my benefit.

 

Romans 13:1-14 ESV

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...

Well, I was hoping to meet you and shake hands one day, but now that's off the schedule. Oh, well, rules are rules

You mean there are not even going to be any more fist bumps and then that weird thing they do with their fingers? And we will not be seeing this senseless and annoying "gesture" as much(or not at all)...or as soon as the quarantine is over people will immediately start looking for someone to do this with...???
