After fasting--pig out or meagle meals?

[thefightinglamb]

I have heard people say that after fasting you should eat a little at a time, or even start eating less...and personally I usually find myself feeling like a glutton after fasting...I devour everything in the fringe in a somewhat psychotic mania...

So is anyone spiritual enough to take eating slowly after a fast?

ps..once, near the end of a fast I went out and bought like $150 dollars worth of groceries; and lustfully contemplated the strategy I was going to use to eat them all...lol

 

[thefightinglamb]

I meant meagre...lol

There are several factors involved in fasting.

If one is not clear to his purpose then overwhelming hunger can sabotage it.

If the fast has been very long, then one would do well to come back to his normal routine slowly.

Light eating and better nutrition would be a good idea.

dude... never go grocery shopping while fasting... you end up buying stuff that you normally would never eat otherwise lol

 

[dodolah]

One does not need to be spiritual to find that pigging put after fasting is bad for you.
It is bad for your spiritual and also for your body.
Nutritionally speaking, slowly eat and ration your portion to avoid shocking your metabolism.

Don't let MahogonySnail stumble across this thread, or he/she will **** us all to Hell, she/he thinks that fasting, praying, and seeking God's truth cause satanic delusions

It only causes delusions when it causes a person to stray from sound doctrine. I'm not sure that the bible tells us to fast in order to prove established doctrines wrong. Remember as with Jesus's fast, (Matt 4) it can be a time of temptation when satan comes and lies to us, twisting the Word of God. "Has God really said this is right or true?..etc"..

God's truth in the bible, and it's pretty easy to find, we don't need to do 40 day fasts to find what God has already revealed to us.

In any case God is more pleased with showing mercy than with self-denial (Isaiah 58).

Let me interpret for those of you that have not dealt with Mahogony before. Mahogony is really saying any revelation from the Lord that does not line up with what she learned in Sunday school by her pastor comes from Satan. Whether it lines up with scripture doesn't matter to her/him, what matters is if that is what her/his denomination teaches or not.

Remember during fasting satan may come and twist the Word contrary to sound doctrine. Jesus countered this by quoting scripture right back in the right context. It is the combination of subjective spiritual experiences with a subtle twist in God's word that can convince a person that what they heard is really from God.

So onwings on the other hand, feels that what "God told him" during or after a 30 day fast, denying the Trinity, carries more weight than anything else. Despite the fact that the only denominations which sympathise with his view that the Trinity is wrong, are Mormons, JW's, as this apologetics website states, "all cults reject the Trinity"

What my denomination teaches, in fact what all denominations teach except for the list of heretical ones like JW and Mormons plus all the others - is the Trinity.

And of course it lines up with scripture. Read any apologetics website. No mainstream protestant churches I'm aware of , since having the freedom of 400 or 500 years of private biblical interpretation, have reached the conclusion that the Trinity is wrong and needs to be changed. If it were, then I suppose Luther and Calvin and their contemporaries would have changed it by now. This shows that the idea that the bible doesn't teach the Trinity is unfounded.

This post is wrong on many levels #1 not all cults deny the Trinity, Catholics the largest of all pseudo christian religions created the doctrine of the Trinity, the 7th day adventist just as much of a cult as Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons do not reject the Trinity, nor does the Church of Christ another pseudo Christian cult. 2ndly there are many Christian denomination that do not accpet the teaching od the Trinity, it is not the doctrine that separate Christians from non christisns. 3rdly I do not think it is the most important doctrine whether you accept it or deny it. I am a non trinitarian that attends a trinitarian church, if it was important to me as Mahogony claims then I would not attend the church that I do, the doctrine of the Trinity is much more important to Mahogony than me. 4th The trinity is not taught in Scripture and God did reveal this to me during a fast however He did this through scripture not inspite of it.


What it boils down to is that Mahogony worships a doctrine rather than God Himself, and because i worship God instead of her/his doctrine he/she claims I am led by satan. When really it is Mahoony that lives his/her life in deception and not just because she/he is trinitarian, many trinitarians will be in heaven and non trins as well, but in a varity of issues she.he has been deceived from satan, and to honest need to repent of oputting her/his doctrine up as an idol above God Himself.

Wow you really have it in for denominations don't you? They must all be wrong then I suppose, only if you say so. So you lump all protestant denominations in with "pseudo-Christianity" too then for believing in the Trinity? The funny thing is that 7th day adventists probably match your doctrines better than any other, given that they believe in keeping the sabbath and all. "Catholics creating the Trinity" - historically and factually untrue.

2ndly there are many Christian denomination that do not accpet the teaching od the Trinity, it is not the doctrine that separate Christians from non christisns. 3rdly I do not think it is the most important doctrine whether you accept it or deny it.

And I could just as easily claim that God revealed the Trinity to me. In fact God has never showed me or any christian I know that the Trinity is wrong. That's the problem with subjective experiences being used to establish doctrine.

What it boils down to is that Mahogony worships a doctrine rather than God Himself, and because i worship God instead of her/his doctrine he/she claims I am led by satan.

Only God can judge my heart whether I worship Him or a doctrine, not you.

When really it is Mahoony that lives his/her life in deception and not just because she/he is trinitarian, many trinitarians will be in heaven and non trins as well, but in a varity of issues she.he has been deceived from satan, and to honest need to repent of oputting her/his doctrine up as an idol above God Himself.

On the one hand you are saying the Trinity doesn't matter, yet on the other hand you are saying I need to repent for believing in it and that they live in deception. Which is it? Rest assured, I've heard many wrong doctrines from people who claim to have been "told by God". You are not the first person to reject established doctrines in the church and susbtitute them in with your own subjective logic or experiences.

If you attend a Trinitarian church, why not tell them they are wrong? I'm sure the pastor or church leadership would be grateful to know the truth coming from your one-time subjective experiences.

 

[Derek]

EHHH HEEMM...back to the subject. Id say it would be a good idea not to pig out after a fast just because it is all the more you can show control over the flesh and let your spirit be in charge, and thats what your doing by fasting right? Although its hard, Im guilty of indulging too.

I go to a protestant trinitarian church, why would I say they are not Christian.

On the one hand you are saying the Trinity doesn't matter, yet on the other hand you are saying I need to repent for believing in it and that they live in deception.

You need not repent for believing in the trinity but for elevating any doctrine trinity or another over God Himself.

The Pastor knows what i believe, he doesn't seem to mind as much as you. Maybe because it is not the doctrine of the Trinity that He worships, but God.

My suggestion is dont go to the store while fasting or your buy a bunch of stuff you wouldn't normally eat. Mahogony's advice is don't fast or your be deceived by satan into believing false doctrines.

 

[onwingsaseagles]

See I wasn't joking she/he really thinks that stuff.

You guys crack me up, arguing like an old married couple. Hahaha..its funny.

 

[MahogonySnail]

It's not even possible to elevate a doctrine above God, when it is God's revealed nature as One God in three persons which has defined that doctrine.

The Pastor knows what i believe, he doesn't seem to mind as much as you. Maybe because it is not the doctrine of the Trinity that He worships, but God.

Then again there isn't the same level of accountability or correction in the church these days either .

Remember during fasting satan may come and twist the Word contrary to sound doctrine.
See I wasn't joking she/he really thinks that stuff.

It happened to Jesus during his fast, I'm not sure why you don't believe it could happen to you.
Do you have any scriptural support that satan doesn't attempt to twist God's Word during fasting? Fasting is no immunity to being tempted by satan.

Mahogony's advice is don't fast or your be deceived by satan into believing false doctrines.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying if you think "God told you" something contrary to the Word during fasting then it probably isn't God. Fasting or having any spiritual experience is no immunity against satan's attacks.

you are so soo funny!! well i was going to say, remember satan after jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights and he was trying to get jesus to change the stones into food. So what i was thinking fightinglamb is this. Jesus must have been way hungry! otherwise, why in the world would satan be trying to temp Him with food. i mean we just don't know we were not there, but that is just what i was thinking. And yea, i mean after a fast it deepends on how long. I mean i know somtimes if we fast in the flesh, meaning the holy spirit did not do it through us, nor lead us into it, you may be even hungrier, that ravenous hunger deal. But i know when God leads us into the fellowhip with Him and we are lead by His spirit, i think its so much differant. you know what i mean? like if we do it i think we are more hungry, not saying God does not honour that fast, but when we are spirit lead into a fast, i know Christ sustaines us.
i think it would have been fun going to the store with you!!!! lol!!! hey man, h ave a twenkie on me. lol. jk.
