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.

u know i'm ref to this portion Matt6v16-18....
ash in itself doesn't mean anyone is fasting, that passage is against showing you are fasting etc. ash is a sign of repentance and there is nothing in scriptures that says repentance shouldn't be shown

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.

So observing fast,abstaining from all earthly pleasures,reflecting on Jesus' death and acknowledging our sins is a bad thing? You're lost bro.

If you are angry with Catholics celebrating Lent, stop celebrating the likes of Easter, Christmas, Valentine even Sunday likewise; they all have root to 'pagan'celebrations ;as some 'I- too-know christains' have just alleged here about Ash Wednesday.
For those quoting Bible for the Catholics, one thing that can not be taken away from them
is that their belief is hinged on three items: the Sacred Traditions, the Sacred Scriptures & the Sacred Magisterium. And this is where the Catholic Church is highly minscontrued. What ever the Catholic Church teaches and practices are always predicated on these three main items. No matter the angle you are coming from, Religion is highly technical and profound because of its spiritual undertone.
Instead of wasting your time criticising the Catholics for their Lenten rituals, I pray you channel such energy on those who are yet to profess Christ as their Lord and Saviour. At least, inspite of their numerous acts of 'Paganism', Catholic Church profess Christ as the Saviour of Mankind. My Pentecostal Brothers, Channel your energy on the world of Heathens.
I strongly believe that this thread was formed for reflection and not for Biblical argument.
I wish all successful a Lenten Season.

THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO RESIST THIS MEAT I USED IN COOKING THIS MORNING.
I envy you. I savoured mine quite deliberately after breaking my fast and now I'm full of remorse.

This scripture you qquoted was before Christ{BC}. Everything changed after Christ{AC}.

Remember not the former things for JESUS has done an incredible thing for mankind.

Embrace it and never let it go.

Some people need to go to comprehension class. Would you not one day die (a physical death)? Or those in the new testament don't die

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.
this period we remember the sufferings Our Lord Jesus Christ went thru

Geestunnar:

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.



Please give me a scripture where this ash Wednesday was endorsed by the Apostles or spoken of by the Lord
Re: Ash Wednesday!!! ; All You Need To Know by ikorodureporta: 7:38am On Feb 15, 2018
I jst have to add this here without quoting anyone... When you study matthew chapter6, Christ taught us how to pray, he made comparism to 'hypocrites' who stand on open places to show all that they are praying....he now moved to the issue of fasting where people use sackcloth & ashes to disfigure themselves, as such make them also 'hypocrites' because they are showing all that they are fasting.... He now said anoint yr head & wipe it off. I'm not saying you shldnt put on ash as an anointing, but the act of parading the streets with ash is what matt6v16-18 addresses. It explains why we have to behave more mature as christians, that its something 'Spiritual', as long as you are at peace with our neighbours & with a good will with our act ( same as forgiveness & repentance ). Repentance is between you & God

Dust you are and to dust you shall return. You are very confused.

Accept Jesus and get out of ur sinful confusion.
If u stil return to dust, then wht price did Jesus pay?
