This is typical of LSU baseball fans. It’s not their fault though—they’re retarded

That brings back nightmares of Gene Morgan in the 1985 CWS. Ouch. I sure hope he is okay. Morgan suffered a broken ankle and the injury really cost us the National Championship that year.

Came to post the same thing.

I keep hearing that New Orleans is sinking and going to be underwater. Why would you build a tunnel there

Sacrificing (putting at risk) cellular life, the central design in God’s human life, that does not.

Putting aside your position on scripture, I’m not sure this is a workable position.

Losing weight puts “cellular life” at risk—this is not morally wrong.

Exercising damages muscle fibers. This is not morally wrong.

Vaccines cause inflammatory responses. This is not morally wrong.

Even if I steel man your argument and differentiate by saying these things improve the person as a whole, your position still doesn’t hold. Mostly because fasting, if done properly, also is beneficial on the whole.

Fasting improves insulin resistance, improves immune recovery, improves cellular stress responses, increases the brain derived neurotrophic factor.

But aside from the physical benefits, the person is not just a body. Person is also mind and spirit. The spirit is the most important. Why does Jesus say that if your hand causes you to sin, then to cut it off? He’s not promoting self harm, but stressing that your spiritual wellbeing is more important than anything else. Fasting is good spiritual discipline.

That doesn’t mean everyone should be fasting or that we should be fasting indefinitely. A pregnant or nursing woman probably should not be fasting. But it is certainly not morally wrong, as you indicate, to fast.

If you reject the Bible as being the infallible word of God, then that’s the biggest difference between our beliefs, not fasting.

Yes. In the Old Testament, the Israelites are frequently instructed to fast as legal, ceremonial requirements. Did God not understand life before the coming of Christ?

After Christ, Jesus assumes people will fast in his sermons “when you fast…”

After his death, though there is not a legal/ ceremonial requirement to fast because we no longer live under the law, the apostles and early Christians still fasted because, like prayer, it’s a good thing to do and is shown in the Book of Acts.

God instructs people to fast. Are you saying that God doesn’t know how life works or that God is instructing people contrary to his purpose?

Or do you not actually believe in God and are using this as a disingenuous argument?
