We Have Been Lied To. The Truth About Ramadan Or Fasting: Islam Style by drakeli: 8:18am On Mar 26, 2023 |
Ramadan is described as a month long fast. Yet the entire month is filled with feasting. Indeed, binge eating during Ramadan has caused health crisis in Muslim countries. So why is gluttony and excess portrayed as strict discipline and self control in Islam? Is there a spiritual component to Ramadan? David Woods explores the issue and uncovers the disturbing truth about Islam’s holiest month.

Anyways, you guys still don't have what we have. We are commanded to fast unlike you! We are told when to fast! We are told the duration of the fast! What vitiates the fast is clearly stated.

AntiChristian: "Christian" as a word was never mentioned in the Bible. However, "Christian" means follower of christ. People were called followers of christ as early as the 2nd century. Hundreds of years before Islam But since you want to start semantics, "abortion" is not mentioned in the Quran, yet the sharia is somehow against abortion. Furthermore, the early Church |

AntiChristian: This is what Jesus told his followers/followers of Christ ( meaning christians ) about fasting. Matthew 6:16-18 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites (muslims) do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Then the followers of Christ (Christians) Act13:3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. 1 Like |

Re: We Have Been Lied To. The Truth About Ramadan Or Fasting: Islam Style by falopey: 8:45am On Mar 31, 2023 |
AntiChristian: Jesus had followers that followed his teachings. The Bible calls them Christians. That’s what christians mean. Christ followers. I inserted muslims because that’s what you guys do. I fasted for days and ate only once in 24 hours in the evening and no one even knew I was fasting. But you guys eat twice in 24 hours plus plenty of feasting and binge eating and acting like hypocrites like Jesus said |
Re: We Have Been Lied To. The Truth About Ramadan Or Fasting: Islam Style by AntiChristian: 8:57am On Mar 31, 2023 |
falopey: Stop telling lies. The Bible didn't call them Christians! After Jesus left this world, one unknown unbeliever called them what seems like "Christian". The Bible has no mouth to talk. People talk not Books! I inserted muslims because that’s what you guys do.And that's a lie. I thought there's a curse on whoever adds to your Bible? So will plagues be added to your life now according to Revelations 22:18? I fasted seven days sometime ago and three days two weeks ago and eat only once in 24 hours in the evening and no one even knew I was fasting. But you guys eat twice in 24 hours plus plenty of feasting My question is where were you told to fast in the Bible? For 7 days? 3 days? For you to eat or not to eat? There's no instructions on it being compulsory for you to fast! Ours is compulsory! The month is known as Ramadan, the 9th Lunar Month! The number of fasting is for a month! We fast only in the day not night! And all regulations regarding fasting are perfected! But you and your pastors fixes all these for yourselves! |
Re: We Have Been Lied To. The Truth About Ramadan Or Fasting: Islam Style by falopey: 9:11am On Mar 31, 2023 |
AntiChristian: Do you have problem with English? Christian is a semantic word that simply means followers of Christ. That’s how followers of Christ in the Bible identified themselves and that’s how they were identified. If you ask me who am I? I would say “follower of Christ “ or in short form “Christian “. Jesus taught his followers about importance of fasting and not made it compulsory because Jews had been fasting before they started following Jesus . It’s part of their culture. Muhammed had to make it compulsory because his new followers had no concept of God and fasting unlike the Jews that already knew God before becoming christians. Why should I make compulsory what is already a practice to you? Matthew 6:16-18 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites (muslims) do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Mark 9:29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” Matthew 4:2 “After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.” Luke 5:33-35 …But the days will come when the bridegroom (Jesus) will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.” Acts 13:2-3 'While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, |

falopey:Which Bible version put Muslim in Bracket as your lied above? New International Version “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. New Living Translation “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. English Standard Version “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. Berean Standard Bible When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. Berean Literal Bible And whenever you fast, do not be downcast in countenance like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so that they might appear to men as fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their recompense. King James Bible Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. New King James Version “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. New American Standard Bible “Now whenever you fast, do not make a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they distort their faces so that they will be noticed by people when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. NASB 1995 “Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. NASB 1977 “And whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance in order to be seen fasting by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. Legacy Standard Bible “Now whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. Amplified Bible “And whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they put on a sad and dismal face [like actors, discoloring their faces with ashes or dirt] so that their fasting may be seen by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full. Mark 9:29So you must fast to be able to do healing/ miracle? That's the reason you fast? Matthew 4:2 ANYONE FOLLOWING WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR LIES! Stop telling lies. The Bible didn't call them Christians! After Jesus left this world, one unknown unbeliever called them what seems like "Christian". The Bible has no mouth to talk. People talk not Books! And that's a lie. I thought there's a curse on whoever adds to your Bible? So will plagues be added to your life now according to Revelations 22:18? My question is where were you told to fast in the Bible?

AntiChristian:I have answered your question. Unfortunately you keep going in a circle. The Muslim I put in a bracket depicting the type of people that instruction best fit at this present time. It’s a reference. That’s why it’s in a bracket. Words of the Bible are not put in brackets. Matthew 6:16-18 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites (muslims) do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. |

AntiChristian: Who were the people Jesus was talking to in this verse? Matthew 6:16-18 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites (muslims) do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Jesus was talking to his followers on how to fast. So as an answer to your question. The followers of Christ (meaning christians) were already fasting with Jesus but unfortunately in Islam styles by disfiguring their faces so people may know they were fasting. Jesus warned them against being like muslims. Now you see where followers of Christ (Christians) were fasting during Jesus time but in Islam style unfortunately |

i swear. christain are hypocrites just like how i have been saying it. there is not any place in the entire bible where you were instructed to fast. yet you claim your fast is the most applicable one because you didn't eat in the dawn. surveys has it that only 20% of christain fast during their time. |

Re: We Have Been Lied To. The Truth About Ramadan Or Fasting: Islam Style by AntiChristian: 9:23am On Apr 05, 2023 |
NaijaMemes: From the Bible: 1.Where were you specifically instructed to fast? 2.How many fast were you specifically instructed? 3.What month do you fast? 4.From what time of the day to what time? 5.What are the things you should do and not do during fasting? Yes, Islam is the only religion to me! Allah says what means: O you who believe! Fear Allah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allah. Qur'an 3:102 It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah, from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), that he said: “By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one of this nation, Jew or Christian, hears of me then dies without having believed in that with which I was sent, but he will be one of the people of the Fire.” Narrated by Muslim (240).
