dacoolvik: I will answer you in plain and holy simplicity. Fasting is a spiritual exercise while sex is body exercise. But the Bible has told us the body always WAR against the spirit. If one does not a task and what it entails why deceive yourself with it. Fasting is denying your body of the normal pleasure so as to attain certain SPIRITUAL growth. Apostle Paul said on no account should any of the partners deny each other sexual pleasure but he said too that couple should leave out sex during FASTING on agreement. The only reason while it is advised FASTERS should eat in course of the exercise - mostly in the evenings- is to remain alive. So tell me when you deny yourself food which helps to keep yourself alive is it sex that you cannot do without, it simply means you are noy serious. That apart. The OP is A JOKER. His profile is saying he is a man but in the post he wrote ; ''I am a newlywed and my husband told me that when a person fasts he/she cannot have sexual relationships. You must deny your flesh of all pleasures. Is it true? What scriptures back this up?'' He went on to ask for Biblical proof of abstinence. Hmmmmmmmmm! Let him react to this post and I will show HIM that in the New Testament. |

Currently in rccg we are on 40 days fast, I see no reason why if I have broken my fast by 6pm with prayers and eaten that I cannot have sex with my spouse. There are lots of useless ladies that you see while at work that provoke thoughts that could spoil your fast.so its better all your sexual desires at quenched by your wife after the fast has been broken for the day. Its only during the active phase of the fasting that I don't move near my spouse ,even not a good morning hug. But after 6pm anything can happen ooo. 1 Like |

Fasting that Pleases God Isaiah 58:2-14 2 Yet they seek Me daily, And delight to know My ways, As a nation that did righteousness, And did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; They take delight in approaching God. 3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You have not seen? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’ “In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, And exploit all your laborers. 4 Indeed you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day, To make your voice heard on high. 5 Is it a fast that I have chosen, A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, And an acceptable day to the Lord? 6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, 10 If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday. 11 The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. 12 Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. 13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.” 1 Like |

What is the essence of fasting? TO AFFLICT YOUR FLESH AND PUT IT UNDER SUBJECTION. Fasting is not a hunger strike. Fasting is a way of denying your flesh ALL the pleasures it may desire during the period and this is not just limited to abstaining from food but also from SEX. The Bible must not tell you everything. As a child of God He expects you to know what is right and wrong (that's why you have the Holy Spirit). If it is right to have sex during fasting then it should also be right to eat food (at anytime) while you are fasting because both sex and food are desires of the flesh. 2 Likes |

Re: It Is Proper To Have Sex During Fasting Period? by robosky02(m): 12:46pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
this is my take: Fasting is a spiritual exercise which requires all seriousness 1. It allows you to separate yourself from “pleasures” to be alone with God. 2. To seek Gods face for divine intervention or calling on God to answer our petition Thus if a man is married he must agree with his wife to abstain from “sexual pleasure” for a while. This must be done in consonance or agreement. However none of the couples should USE undue fasting as an excuse not to have or give sex when the other needs it. Because sex in the marriage covenant is holy or accepted before God. Therefore two rules should apply 1. Agreement to abstain for a while eg if the fast is for a short time 2. It must be seen as a sacrifice because nothing good comes easy. Thus the fast must be view as such by the couple to receive something greater. Therefore a full seperation However if it’s a long fast, then personal discretion should apply just like Paul said in 1 Corinthians 7:6. You can read 1 Corinthians 7. from the amplified version Take note of what he said in verses 6 Now as to the matters of which you wrote me. It is well [and by that I mean advantageous, expedient, profitable, and wholesome] for a man not to touch a woman [to cohabit with her] but to remain unmarried. 2 But because of the temptation to impurity and to avoid immorality, let each [man] have his own wife and let each [woman] have her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights (goodwill, kindness, and what is due her as his wife), and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have [exclusive] authority and control over her own body, but the husband [has his rights]; likewise also the husband does not have [exclusive] authority and control over his body, but the wife [has her rights]. 5 Do not refuse and deprive and defraud each other [of your due marital rights], except perhaps by mutual consent for a time, so that you may devote yourselves unhindered to prayer. But afterwards resume marital relations, lest Satan tempt you [to sin] through your lack of restraint of sexual desire. 6 But I am saying this more as a matter of permission and concession, not as a command or regulation. 1 Corinthians 7 Amplified Bible (AMP) |

Nothing is wrong in abstaining from sex during fasting, but it should be strongly based on mutual agreement. If the two of you decide not to touch each other during the course of the fasting... good and fine; but if one doesn't agree with it, give him or her the attention deserved. |

robosky02:The above is the perfect answer to this question. Couples that values their spiritual growth must agree to set themselves apart for a time after all there is a time to embrace (including sex , yea ) and a time to cease from embracing. |

When Islam introduced this matchless institution, it planted an ever-growing tree of infinite virtue and invaluable products. Here is an explanation of the spiritual meaning of the Islamic Fasting: It teaches man the principle of sincere Love: because when he observes Fasting he does it out of deep love for God. And the man who loves God truly is a man who really knows what love is. It equips man with a creative sense of hope and an optimistic outlook on life; because when he fasts he is hoping to please God and is seeking His Grace. It imbues in man the genuine virtue of effective devotion, honest dedication and closeness to God; because when he fasts he does so for God and for His sake alone. It cultivates in man a vigilant and sound conscience; because the fasting person keeps his fast in secret as well as in public. In fasting, especially, there is no mundane authority to check man's behavior or compel him to observe fasting. He keeps it to please God and satisfy his own conscience by being faithful in secret and in public. There is no better way to cultivate a sound conscience in man. It indoctrinates man in patience and selflessness, as through fasting, he feels the pains of deprivation but he endures them patiently. It is an effective lesson in applied moderation and willpower. Fasting also provides man with a transparent soul, a clear mind and a light body. It shows man a new way of wise savings and sound budgeting. It enables man to master the art of Mature Adaptability. We can easily understand the point once we realize that fasting makes man change the entire course of his daily life. It grounds man in discipline and healthy survival. It originates in man the real spirit of social belonging, unity and brotherhood, of equality before God as well as before the law. It is a Godly prescription for self-reassurance and self-control. |

I am a newlywed and my husband told me that when a person fasts he/she cannot have sexual relationships. You must deny your flesh of all pleasures. Is it true?

There is everything wrong with it. When fasting u don't eat anything, Does it mean your body don't need food? Y did Jesus went to the wilderness to fast wen he can fast at home or in the temple? U have to deny yourself all pleasure to connect wholly with Him. there is no excuse for failing on the path of righteousness. If u can conquer that extra exercise then u will gain extra blessings and extra trust from Him. In His word, He siad that man shall not live by bread alone. What count is not the normal routine of going to church and doing all the normal things we do in church bkx even a sinner can do them successfull, but what counts is the extra miles we go just to prove our dedication to Him. King Solomon sacrificed 22000 cattles onto the Lord and 120000 goats and sheep and he was blessed for that. The king of Moab sacrificed his son instead of using a cattle, sheep or goat and there was a great anger against the ppl of isreal from the same God that calls them His ppl. Going extra miles always bring about a great effect either positive or negative. Blv me that if u and your spouse sacrifice that honeymoon for the praying and fasting God will do great things in your family. |

My dear newly wedded. Your husband's timing is somewhat but, I bet his reason to fast is to try and prepare your home for the best. The scriptural reference for the issue at hand is: 1 Corinthians 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. for those that didn't know its in the bible. that's it.
