Did you read my blog on fasting yet? God showed me something different. so I'll agree to differ.YES! And my opinion is God's opinion, Isaiah 58:6.
If you have nothing good to say you should keep silent. The nature and character of a child of God is set forth in the same book in Isaiah 1:18.
10) Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master (teacher) of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11) Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12) If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? John 3:10-12.
I don't understand why people deny Scripture when the verse is staring right there at their face!

I've heard people use that verse before without even looking to see if there could be more to it. It's like a horse wearing blinkers so it can only see what's in front of it. There are other references to fasting. Even Jesus fasted. But if you are happy with your view then that's ok but I wonder why you should be interested in this thread.No, and I don't have to as I understand perfectly well what Isaiah 58:6 stipulates, and you do not.

That was one single person.I don't believe you got the gist of post #73.
Acts 2:38 was prophesied in Joel 2:28-29 to give power to the disciple to begin to evangelize the world, but the Holy Spirit has always been since the beginning of time.
Since you only asked for one verse, here it is:
"Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me." Psalms 51:11

Incorrect.People tend to make fun about the things of God because they lack the knowledge and understanding of Scripture and reverence to God Almighty!

Fasting is equivalent to witnessing as per Matthew 28:19 in God's perspective Isaiah 58:6.

Incorrect.
Fasting VIA the Holy Ghost causes us to lose our self will and subject our will to God.
If it is not led of the Spirit though, it is just a diet or protest.

I'm not asking you to mate. I already did it. Read my blog if you want the scriptures. bet you won't though cos you know it all and have made up your mind and will not be moved. Bless you.Yes I do have a Bible but many folks read Scripture differently or what they have been taught, than what the verse is actually saying.
"But sanctify the Lord in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear":
I will NOT do your homework for you.

I'm sorry if you can't be bothered to read my study on fasting on my blog. If you did you will find that I have quoted many scriptures on fasting including your one from Isaiah as well as many more. But OK then if you can't be bothered to either study it for yourself or read my study leave the matter alone but don't blame me or anybody else. I don't know if you mean to or not Jun, but you come across as somewhat aggressive. Have a nice day with the LORD.The ball is in your court. It is not a matter that I know it all rather, you are still drinking milk while I am eating meat (1 Corinthians 3:1-3}.
