blessedmeme:Just a Catholic doctrine with no Christian foundation. Nothing ash in any Wednesday. Jesus never practice it nor His Apostles. Show me one scriptural references on Ash Wednesday then I will turn a Roman Catholic. |

ikorodureporta:The passage you quoted is talking about ur appearance when u fast. That you should not look as thou are fasting. The passage didn't make any reference to ashes..Please correct that. |

ikorodureporta:u don't understand that passage at all. |
Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by akdjr(m): 9:07am On Feb 14, 2018 |
Nice enlightenment. @ Op,in your last paragraph u said devout Christian will wear cross on their head as a sign of grief for the crucification of Jesus christ. Now my question is why showing grief when the same teaching of gospel tells us that Jesus died for our sins and so we are redeemed. We should be happy instead of showing grief. |
Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by ikorodureporta: 9:11am On Feb 14, 2018 |
12345baba: na u no understand. Matt6v16...for they disfigure their faces...matt6v17...when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face... |
Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by Geestunnar(m): 9:11am On Feb 14, 2018 |
ikorodureporta:Ur countenance and appearance is what the passage u quoted is referring to, that people should not be able to tell that you are fasting. The reception of ashes signifies the beginning of fasting, so u positing that ashes on the forehead disfigures ur appearance is what is mind boggling. |

Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by Geestunnar(m): 9:19am On Feb 14, 2018 |
ikorodureporta:So this is the only thing u could pick from the passage. Didn't you see where I said the reception of ashes signifies the beginning of fasting or would u receive ashes all through the fasting period? I don't know if you are purposely avoiding the true meaning and intent of the passage you quoted. |

Geestunnar: my point is....d bible cndemns going about with ashes...be it for the first day or all through. Why do you guyz walk around the streets with the ashes? U'r supposed to wipe it off. Dnt announce to all that you are fasting |

Emmyjah50: There are many verses in the bible. Jesus even quoted Luke 10:13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Job 42:6 Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." Esther 4:3 In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.

Ashes » Repenting in Job 42:6 Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes." Daniel 9:3 So I gave my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. Jonah 3:6 When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes. Matthew 11:21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Luke 10:13 "Woe to you, Chorazin!

MosesAlex: All these are what Jesus came to correct in Matt6 v 16-18... |
Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by Emmyjah50: 9:50am On Feb 14, 2018 |
MosesAlex: The pagan origin of Ash Wednesday I It's not mentioned in the Bible. None of the apostles observed it. Nowhere are Christians commanded to keep it. It was not even officially practiced until nearly 1000 years after Christ's resurrection. Like so many other non-biblical “Christian” customs, it has pagan roots. It's a sad fact that modern Christianity has appropriated so many customs from the practice of the heathens, that one might wonder if it should still be called Christianity. |

Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by MosesAlex: 9:54am On Feb 14, 2018 |
Emmyjah50: Sometimes I wander if people take some moment to reflect independently. What is wrong with repentance? It is only the devil that would not be happy that people are encouraged to repent from their sins. So to urged people to repent is a pagan practice? This reminds me of Jesus been accused of using the power of the devil to drive out devil. Those people were only instigated by the devil. Check well it may be the same instigating you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Is the abstinence on meat alone or both meat and fish |
Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by Nobody: 10:47am On Feb 14, 2018 |
Antidotecasmir: Meat. You can eat fish. Also, we are to make effort to abstain from unholy practices/bad habits this Lenten season, with the hope of being able to sustain it after lent is over. We believe fasting isn't just about abstaining from food and prayers alone, people should alsovtry to become better versions of themselves in accordance with God's directives, give to the poor and needy and most especially let people see God in your lifestyle. God knows we can never be perfect, but we should strive to attain some level of godliness. Any other catholic is free to add to my input. 1 Like

Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by MosesAlex: 10:48am On Feb 14, 2018 |
ikorodureporta: See what Jesus said to Chorazin below Luke 10:13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. Ash Wednesday emphasizes repentance. And the whole of heaven rejoices when one sinner repents. Luke 15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." That you are upset shows the spirit pushing against Ash Wednesday. |
