For those who have spent any time in the Church of God movement you will remember that Passover services were well planned out and precise in how it was celebrated. Well, no more...
Our superfantaulous Great Bwana to Africa and the 100 occasional Caucasians has a Passover service online for those who need to celebrate at home like 95% of his Caucasian members need to.
One thing for sure about the Great Bwana, his videos are 100% Ambassador quality. Well thought out, articulate...š
For some reason, this one is filled with an overabundance of arm waving and hand flapping than he usually does. Plus, the open door to his storage closet for his homeopathic supplements is a nice touch. Ambassador quality all the way! He also sounds like he is totally unprepared throughout the entire video. Skip ahead to 8:06 and listen to the insanity as he tries to describe foot washing.

Paul doesn't mention foot washing in 1Cor 11:23-26. Foot washing now is not a command that must be done at a service.
"See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut."
And, to comment on the FUB, the feast commanded on the 15th-Lev 23:6-is not commanded to be at even or at night as is the Passover but could be during daylight of the 15th.
The door became ajar....noticed in the video the door closed at 8:34, open at 8:44.
Dr Bob should include another pause in the middle of the video for a bathroom break and end it with the sound of a toilet flush.
Welcome back!
Bob is a hard-working and prolific author who does a remarkable job on a shoe-string budget.
At 08:30 in his video, Bob instructs us: "If you're alone you can consider washing your feet".
Bob shows us here that he has NO IDEA of what the foot-washing signifies. Then again, just moments before his instruction, around 08:12 in the video, he disrespects the practice when he calls it "this foot-washing thing." Once more, Bob shows us that the improperly named "Overseer" has properly earned the title of Overlooker, not just of his ministers' sins and abuses but even of basic church doctrine.

Hi, Bob! Some would say you're a manic-depressive narcissist suffering from extreme logorrhea, funded by other people's tithes and their purchases of your quack remedies. But your version sounds nicer, I'll admit.
Quantity is not quality.
Well, in general, you probably should wash your feet. They stank.
Speaking of Bob, at the time of this writing, his site's having issues.
Cue the Church Lady: could it beeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... SATAN?!?

Well, that answers the question, doesn't it?
What question?
When is a door not a door?
Answer: "When it is ajar!"
Did Bob Thiel plan it all to happen that way?
Actually, I might prefer another answer: one that is "in season:" sort of speak.
When is a door not a door?
Well, obviously: "When it is Christ!"
John 10:7 "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
Really? Yes, He even repeated it!
John 10:9 "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
That sounds like a "done deal" door to salvation: one "shall be saved!"
Why not? Didn't His blood around the door, just prior to the Exodus of the ancient Israelites, provide some protection for them Israelite firstborn, which was not afforded to the Egyptians? And in the morning the "unleavened Israelites" passed under that blood into the "light of day," traveling for 7 days, and then finally physically exiting Egypt! Nice deal! Free at last! Well, for a short while.
Might it be a shadow and pattern of anything relative to the future Christ our Passover sacrificed for us? It appears that it may, but...
Time will tell...

Just like to add Psalm 118:20 “This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.” This gate is the Lord Jesus who is also referred to a couple of verses later as the stone (v 22).
Happy Passover Day!
11:45 Re footwashing. I tend to agree since like you said Paul doesn’t mention it. Also, there’s support that it was simply a lesson of Christ’s to teach His disciples humility. And foot washing was done all over the Roman Empire by the servants when a guest entered a home. Further, it wasn’t made part of the practice in the Catholic Church until the 400s if I remember reading correctly hence it wasn’t an official ordinance like the bread and wine was before then.
