This passsage is Paul's opinion regarding the having of sexual relations between married people.
Jesus Christ made clear to those who are born-again that their marriages were of the world of men and not of the Kingdom of God - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36 - affirmations God's ruling regarding marriage from after the fall of man in Genesis 3 vs 16.

You've gone far, please take the word of God at face value.

Exactly what i wanted to ask:

Is there anywhere in the Bible that Jesus said fasting (abstinence from food or skipping meals) is compulsory for believers?

It is not compulsory but necessary, occasionally as some situations might demand.

Matthew 17:20-21

Jesus Himself fasted in Matthew chapter 4 by abstaining from food and He did it as example for us.

MaxInDHouse:
If truly you want to FAST in an approved manner before God it has nothing to do with your skipping meals or hunger strike.

This is what the true God accept as FASTING:

*Share what you have with your neighbours who is in need of it.
*Forgive and forget the wrong your neighbour did to hurt you.
*Use your time, energy and resources to help those close to you even though there's nothing to receive as compensation.
This is the type of FASTING God requires from His worshipers who are doing so in spirit and truth! Isaiah 58:3-8

Not when you keep all these away them start starving yourself hypocritically claiming it's for God!

What of Matthew 17:20-21?

Kobojunkie:
Did God or even Jesus Christ ever in fact ask you to starve yourself of food in order to get his attention?

Nowhere in Scripture did God in fact say that if you want His attention and answer you should deprive yourself of food. As a matter of fact, God said that when you eat or deprive yourself(diet) you do so for your own good. So, when you deprive yourself of food, why do you resolve that God is pleased by it too?

The kind of fasting God wants is detailed in Isaiah 58. Isaiah was prophet in Judah during the period between 740 - 726 BC, that is approximately 2750 years ago. Think about what that means for a minute. God established the kind of fasting ---- absolutely not starvation fasting ---- that He wants His people to carry out when they desire to fast over 2700 years ago, yet to this day, rather than do as God has commanded and established through His prophets, you engage in a ritual entirely opposite of that which God commands yet you say you do it for God. Don't you see that it means you don't even reverence God at all even though you claim to do so with your tongue?

Look, it is not by force to believe in God and you benefit absolutely nothing when you say you believe in God yet the things you do using His name have nothing to do with that which He commands. No reason to lie to yourself because God makes clear that He only answers those who obey Him anyways. So if you can't do as God commands, then forget God completely and live your life on your own terms.

Please explain 1 Corinthians 7:5.

Kobojunkie:
What deity?

My fasting is to God, the father of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Kobojunkie:
To loose weight, what you need to do is cut down your daily calorie intake, not actually starve yourself of food(fast). Fasting has been shown to be less effective means of weight loss.

My fasting is for religion purpose not to loose weight

Hello everyone,

This is it, I find it very difficult to fast. If I don't eat before 11am, I will develop headache that will last the whole day no matter what I later eat.

I feel so hungry that one will think I have not eaten for days even when I eat before going to bed.

Please what can I do to improve in fasting. I have not gone beyond 2pm which is occasionally.

Pls let's do mental check up on before we employ people in this country

Then nobody will be employed, the truth is that almost everyone is mentally unstable in the country.

DKM123:

The first and only one they've paid is that of September.

All from the north, no qualms.

South continue to develop.

His balloon d'or should be 4, he took it from Sneidjer in 2010

Atiku contributed to Nigeria having a man without real identity as her president.

He should have allowed his party chairmanship move to the south the moment he won the primaries.

Hello Nairalanders, I saw the writeup below referring to C, Q, V and Z as alphabets.

Are they alphabets or letters of Alphabet.

I want to believe every language has one alphabet with different numbers of letters.

For instance, is it safe to say English Language has one alphabet with 26 letters, or Yoruba Language has one alphabet with 25 letters?

Na wen we no see ball for field again the game dey end

I leant sometime ago that slow and steady wins the race, and I got more convinced today.

I drove for about three hours today with a coaster and Mazda. Both vehicles overtook me within five minutes of the journey with great speed but I didn't compete with them. I just maintained 80-100 kph only to meet up with them intermittently. We arrived the same time after three hours of driving.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Thank you

Congratulations brother, you will not go through this ever again in Jesus name.


I have a female friend diagnosed of same ailment.
Please help me with the names of the medicines you took.

I strongly believe that the President is not that naive to have approved the removal of subsidy without immediate implementation of palliatives, if he truly cares for Nigerians.

He removed subsidy in a hurry to allow Dangote Refinary sell fuel at a predetermined price not less than #700 per liter.

What he could have done was to reinstate the subsidy regime at his inauguration and give palliatives for three months running from June till August and then remove the subsidy in September, he would have won our hearts forever.

It's not too late.

Pour your heart to God in prayers in the name of Jesus; you will sleep like a newborn baby.

Yet, he will pass the screening because they will laugh it over, he might even be asked to take a bow

Baptism is only necessary after salvation; not before salvation.

If I have what you have I won't contemplate traveling at all.

Stay here and invest, you will be fine.

You can travel for holidays with your family.

My wife does not care, she asks anywhere anytime, provided there's privacy.

David50:
I would recommend changing every 3000km (not miles).

Also, looks like u either have a serious leak or a serious oil burn problem. Both may require serious attention.

You're right, there's oil leak, though just discovering it and it's minor.

Thank you for your insightful engagement

David50:
You may or may not have a dodged a bullet there.
Good practice dictates you should check your oil at least once a week. Some even check it every morning which is better.

What's your car model and year?
How long have you owned it and what type of oil have you been using?

I use quartz total oil, Mazda 626, five years now

Keyboard, it's a fusion of every other musical instruments

I was at the mechanic workshop last week to fix my power steering belt that cut off when I just decided to Guage the car's oil level only to see that the rod did not touch any oil.

I eventually got 4liter oil asked the mechanic to change it. What was left of the previous one was less than a litre. The engine would have gone for good.

So, how often should a car meant for private use be changed?

Note that I was thinking my oil was changed recently though no longer sure of the time.
