As for the washing of the hands thing, I have no idea what it means and I assume that it is some sort of cultural thing that is lost in translation.
The Coat.
It is about submission to someone who has the power.
Its okay by me if You WANT that kind of submission.
But what about those, who dont ? Platos rebublic, is nice(?) place to live other than someone whose artist.

Washing hands.
NO, it is NOT a "cultural thing", by dawg.
It is THE most usefull thing to find in whole bible, and JESUS, is saying that HIS followers DONT have to do it.
The actual scripture place where God says, that "You have to wash Your hands before eating," i cannot find.
But to be a sponsor to eating without washing hands in a time when all did eat with hands (When was the fork invented ? btw) is NOT very divine.
