Fasting

[Waiting on him]

It doesn't say that to me. But the rest of us are still waiting.

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:3

It’s just the opinion of a nobody, that believes that you are in dwelt with the full Godhead. If you don’t like that then that’s okay.
As you said I have some strange beliefs.

Overcrowded hospitals and cemeteries are monuments to what God can do.

You sound very cynical.

its a made up tradition and even ritual practice, it makes a mockery of 1st the ancient israelites who would repent in saccloth & ashes, 2nd it makes a mockery of cross!! no such thing is ever found in the mosaic or Christian teachings!! and why would u wanna glorfy ash on ur forehead, its a symbol of sorrow and repentance. And notice how the mark of the beast is also given on the forehead too, notice the correlation? just more doctrines of demons, I can't believe u guys can't see it. u really need discernment.

I was explaining it not agreeing with it. Like I said before I don't do Lent.

I don't know what you mean.

I have discovered that a lot of people who call themselves Christians have some strange beliefs.

[Philip James]

that sign is blasphemy 2 christ

You see the sign of the cross as blasphemy?

 

[Waiting on him]

You see the sign of the cross as blasphemy?

I see it as a disfiguring of the face.

Overcrowded hospitals and cemeteries are monuments to what God will do.

Who were all their life under the bondage of the fear of death

That’s strange he seems aware to me

 

[Philip James]

Interesting.

I see it as a sign of our only hope. And I for one, am not ashamed of the cross, or to boldly lift it up for the nations to see...

Peace be with you!

Either am I, but when it aligned with fasting I’m cautious.

The fast of lent is not about not eating.
It is about reminding us individually and as a community that we are to be living the proper fast (see post one) .
It is about seeking less for ourselves and more for those in need, those broken, those in prison, the blind and the lame.....
It is about, as one, humbling ourselves before the ONE who humbled HIMSELF,
That we might become, less of us, and more of HIM....
It is about putting away 'the old self' , not just as individuals, but as a community...

And the cross is our standard of victory over this world.
Any Christian who is ashamed of the cross of Christ, needs to reexamine their hearts imo...

Peace!

The Lord tells us not to disfigure our faces as the hypocrites do. Not ashamed of the cross. People should see that without me smearing it on my face.
And the fast should be practiced every day.

 

[Philip James]

And the fast should be practiced every day

On this we agree fully.

Peace be with you!
