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.

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.

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.
