Dada4me:It's about what the scriptures mandated for believers against what people feel is necessary due to hearing that others in Bible times did it. I was once a Muslim the one and only reason Muslims are doing this is because they heard it was done by servants of God in ancient times but the reasonableness in this practice is never stated so people just feel they must starve themselves because they heard it was common practice in ancient times. Now back to the topic of this thread: You can only get needed help to do what God require but when there's no specific guidelines on what you're asking then you have to go on doing it perfunctorily. May you have PEACE. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

AyobamiIsaac12:Many christians on this forum have a very dull knowledge of the bible. Jesus Christ himself said In Matt 17:20-21 Matt 6:17 But you when thou fastest, wash your face and anoint your head. Instead, comb your hair and wash your face. The world when is different from if . The word when is used for a certain event. Even in Luke 5: 30-35 "... But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast. ” Your Jesus said "You will fast" 1 Like |

Dada4me: If you're fasting for religious reasons, then you are wasting your own time because there is no deity anywhere that rewards people for fasting |

FRANCISTOWN: So how did the first century Christians fasted? What time did they start to what time? Who announced it that they should start it? Ọmọ Jesus simply means they will be terrified to the extent that they will loose their appetite and that's exactly what happened to his disciples they couldn't eat days after his death until his resurrection and the first thing he presented to them was FOOD: While they were speaking of these things, he himself stood in their midst and said to them: “May you have peace.” But because they were terrified and frightened, they imagined that they were seeing a spirit. So he said to them: “Why are you troubled, and why have doubts come up in your hearts?See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as you see that I have.” And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. But while they were still not believing for sheer joy and amazement, he said to them: “Do you have something there to eat? Luke 24:36-41 Do you think they will still continue grieving and unable to eat while he is right in their midst eating? Meaning they don't need going on hunger strike! ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

FRANCISTOWN: Na WA o, no wonder the Bible says a natural man cannot discern the things of the spirit. You can't change my mind, just answer my question or keep mute if you have no answer. |

MaxInDHouse: Jesus said they don't need to fast because He is still with them but they will fast after His departure from them. I am not surprised at the way you twist the scriptures to turn people's mind from the pure and simple Gospel they've had. Truly, a natural man cannot discern the things of the spirit. |

Dada4me: We're both saying the same thing. So answer those questions if you're a believer and not just being dogmatic: How did the first century Christians fasted? What time did they start to what time? Who announced it that they should start it? How many days did Christians fasted? ![]() 1 Like 3 Shares |

FRANCISTOWN:Seriously. I wonder where they get their understanding of the Bible from. Definitely not from the Holy Spirit. Something was clearly written that a time would come when we would need to fast, they misinterpreted it. |

Kobojunkie: Is fasting also not cutting down Calorie intake? |
Re: Help, I Can't Fast. by Kobojunkie: 12:14am On Dec 03, 2023 |
Mamayam:Cutting back on one's caloric intake is sort of different from skipping meals entirely. ![]() |
