Every time the words "right hand" and "left hand" appear together, there's no reference to them differentiating between good and bad, except in Matthew 25:33 where the sheep are put on the right hand and the goats on the left.That's what a lot of Christians used to justify forcing left-handed children to use their right hand. My brothers' father was like that. When I was little, he tried to get my mother to "turn me into a righty". Thankfully, she refused. However, when the older of my younger brothers was a baby, he wouldn't let him take anything from him with his left hand, which of course annoyed my mother and confused me(I couldn't understand why it would matter which hand was used). |
