And nothing in the Bible talks about shaking hands. They used to greet each other with a holy kiss. Well we don’t do that. We shake hands. There is nothing sinful about shaking hands. You know what I’m saying? So Just because there is a custom that may have a pagan origin doesn’t necessarily mean it is bad unless it violates a Christian principle.
Batchelor, Doug; Ross, Jean, “Fight the Good Fight” (AudioVerse teaching 41452).
The point
The practice of shaking hands, though not explicitly biblical and potentially having non-Christian origins, is not inherently sinful because it doesn't violate a Christian principle, illustrating that not all customs with pagan roots are necessarily bad.
