3 | is fasting a command for us ,where is it | Luke 5:35 | Machaira | 182012 | ||
As far as the New Covenant is concerned, there is no formal command to fast. However, we do find at least 3 instances of fasting in the book of Acts, ( 13:2; 13:3; 14:23;). This would seem to indicate that it is still a useful practice. It's also interesting to note that after Acts, there is no more mention of fasting in the New Testament. Peace in Christ, Machaira |

Hi, Machaira... Your post was addressed to me since you placed it under my answer. :-) The questioner wasn't asking if it was commanded, only if it is "for today." By the way, Chapter 21, paragraph 5 of the Westminster Confession of Faith makes explicit reference to fasting in worship. In Him, Doc |

Well . . . first off Doc . . . my post wasn't addressed to you. Sorry if I'm still getting the hang of this very strange set up. It's not what I'm used to. Secondly, from where I'm sitting, the original question certainly did ask, "is fasting a command for us, where is it?" I quote exactly. Thirdly, the WCF may make explicit reference to fasting, but it nowhere indicates that it is a formal command. As I said before, the book of Acts seems to indicate that fasting is certainly a useful practice, but it is by no means a New Testament command. Peace in Christ, Machaira |
