AntiChristian: Did Jesus preach repentance? Yes He did. That's what Lent emphasizes. Does repentance go with any outward manifestation? Repentance is accompanied by wearing sack clothes and ashes as we find severally in the Bible. That's what the ashes on the forehead signify. The season of Lent is a 40-day period of intense prayer, abstinence and charity in order to rise newly with Jesus as we celebrate His suffering, death and ressurection at Easter. And as a matter of fact, communal fast is observed in the Bible. So, as a community of faith, we encourage ourselves to abstain, to pray more and to be more charitable. Does the Bible support these? Yes it does. That's what Lent is all about. 6 Likes |

Offpoint1:Ash Wednesday is a day for us to remember that we are dust and to dust we shall return. That all the bad things we do for temporary pleasure is not just worth it. Also, it signifies the beginning of lenten season in the Catholic Church |

capricornlady:Since when Ash and dust become the same thing? Also, what you celebrate is God's curse on man, the very same curse which He sent Jesus Christ to redeem men from. So, I guess my question to you is why do you celebrate the curse?. |

NYCnextStop:Seek God's face by celebrating God's curse on mankind __ the very same curse He sent Jesus Christ to redeem men from? Una never begin talking wetin dey do una. |
Re: Today Is Ash Wednesday by Kobojunkie: 9:52pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
loosecanon50:Season of fasting, forgiveness and almsgiving? Are you somehow confusing Jesus Christ with Mohammed or something? You are meant to live every moment of your existence in complete submission to and obedience of the commandments of God's New Covenant- Jesus Christ- to which there is no season. |
Re: Today Is Ash Wednesday by Kobojunkie: 9:58pm On Mar 02, 2022 |
ifiokjohn:Your utterance here is born of ignorance and foolishness! God gave no man power to add, change or remove commandments where His Law is concerned. He warned you against this very act in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 15 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13, warning that those of you who break this law by following the doctrines and traditions of men essentially render null the power of God's Word- Jesus Christ- in your life's by this. Your lent rituals are born of the doctrines and traditions of men, that which Jesus Christ announced as lies. You celebrate God's curse on mankind through your rituals, a curse which stands in contradiction of the redemption granted us by God from the curse through Jesus Christ, yet you convince yourselves that his unholy ritual you can bind to that which is of God? You heap God's curse upon yourselves by your actions. |

Actually there is no Ash Wednesday in the scripture. This and many other things we observe constitute distractions to our faith and holy walk with God. |
