American Pastor Joins Muslims In Ramadan Fast by akanke79: 1:22pm On Aug 08, 2012 |
An American Pastor, Reverend Wess Magruder, has decided to partake in the Muslims holy month of Ramadan this year with his Muslim friends, by fasting, praying and reading the Holy Quran. http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/08/07/254985/american-pastor-joins-the-holy-ramadan/ 5 Likes |

Ok, but technically it can serve him very little spiritual benefit; to enjoy that he has to become a Muslim. |

maclatunji: Ok, but technically it can serve him very little spiritual benefit; to enjoy that he has to become a Muslim. it is a step at a time.and God best knows the intentions of man.this could be an inspiring start to become a Muslim,or could serve other purposes as well.it could serve him well personally,which is the purpose of his fast.and it could also serve unity and understanding each other from the two religions. 3 Likes |

Fasting is a spiritual exercise. Is not that the pastor has joined or changed to Islamic. Let us not be deceived fasting is good. Matt 4 vs 4 3 Likes |

“I feel very happy and fortunate now,” Magruder wrote, who has succeeded in fasting from sunrise till sunset. In his blog, Magruder invited all people of the Christian faith to try the fasting experience even for one day". Does it mean that, as an American Christian Pastor, he and the Church he pastors have not been fasting and praying?? Don't they operate by the Bible? There are lots of instances of praying with fasts Sir. he sounds like fasting is one foreign issue to the body of Christ. Fasting is personal as well as corporate but with personal gains when adherred to. [/b][b] 3 Likes |

dare2think: ....Here they come (I can hear the galloping hooves)... This pastor and everyone else linked to this story (from the OP, to maclatunji, you and down to my humble self) is in serious trouble. How dare the pastor fast with Muslims? And how dare we even bring the story (and discuss it) on NL? I quiver in fear |

I THINK THE BEST WAY TO RESOLVE RELIGIOUS CRISES IS TO HARMONIZE THE FASTING PERIOD BY UNITED NATION OR POSSIBLY BY THE GOVERNMENT OF A COUNTRY. I WISH OUR MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS RAMADAN KAREEM 3 Likes |

The guy is not a serious pastor. Many christians fast sometimes as much as seven days without food. Millions of Christians fast for 3 days without food at least once a year. If the so called pastor has not fasted this much before, he certainly is not a true pastor. Most Christians really don't consider the muslims kind of fast as fasting because if I have to eat that much before 6am in the morning, I don't think I will feel like am fasting at all. That is not to say the muslims fasting is wrong, just saying we Christians view fasting differently and actually in a more stringent way. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on fasting but these American pastors just fulfil the prophecy of Jesus that in the last days, false prophets shall arise. 5 Likes |

May God show him more 'LIGHT' to accept Islam as his colleagues all over the world are doing. It is only God who guide His servants to goodness. For those who are still in doubt, total darkness and ignorance, there is still time for them to reflect before they die. May God continue to guide the believers to true faith, ameen. 1 Like |
