I figured you'd pull that scripture out of your hat Elder. The things mentioned were in regard to taking on the care of a "widow" not things to do to be saved.
Listed among them were the requirement to have brought up children. She must have lodged strangers,she needed to have relieved the afflicted.
to use this text to try to prove foot washing as salvational is to do great vilonce to the scripture.
You are out of context here Elder.
I have no doubt that widows washed the feet of saints back in that day.
Weary travelers had dirty feet when they arrived as guest at someones house.
All the things mentioned as requirement for a widow, along with humbly washing a guests feet were as Jesus taught in the example of Foot washing in
John 13.
Acts of humble service.
Foot washing was a part of the culture of that day..it's plain and simple.
Only one time do we see it as a "religeuos event"
I goot run along now. heading to a leadership retreat in Wisconsin....we will be taking communion tgether...who knows, maybe we'll wash feet too.
Have a happy Day Elder E.
