"the Daniel fast"... and what it did for me...

Was this before or after becoming a eunuch?0

If everyone abstained from sex before marriage then the 20 million slaves used in the sex trade could be free. There wouldn't be rapings all over the world.
Wouldn't it be the other way round? If sex was available cheaply and plentifully and we didn't have this ridiculous stigma attached to it, then surely rates of rape would reduce.
Or am I missing something?
You're both wrong. I don't think God would approve of all this simplified rhetoric regarding rape and the sex trade.0 -
Waiting for the 4th horseman of this thread.
Any hints?0 -
But... Daniel ate this way for 3 years or more, didn't he (Daniel 1)? His second fast (Daniel 10) was only 21 days. Don't you need to do the 3 year one before the 21 day one???
PS - love that the Daniel Fast website is selling a program called the "Daniel Fast for Financial Breakthrough". Yeah, fasting to make money makes sense to me.
You mean if I fast, I'll get monies?0 -
so I'm late to this party but... are you saying that you can only have the fruits of the lands on this fast? what about your boyfriend's fruits of the lands i.e. his stream? is that ok?
I guess you don't understand the word "eunuch".0 -
It's ok...ignorant people say stupid things. If you believe in God and the bible (and you can't say you believe in God if you dont believe his word), then you know what happened to Daniel in the Lions Den and why, you know what fasting means and why we do it, you know what sexual impurity is and what it means, you know what Gd says about marriage and sex before marriage. If you dont know, then you're ignorant. If you want to know, go read the WORD! If you don't want to know, then don't ask. The sad thing is that you want to know, but you don't like the answer because it doesnt sit well with your soul, and it means having to raise your standards and be responsible with the truth you've been given (God's word), but that would just be too much for you and so you take to sarcasm and slander in order to make yourself feel better. Good luck with that.
OP - Obviously, you did something right! It worked and praise God for it!0 -
Catholics are heathens!In Biblical times, once you had sex with the person you were espoused to (engaged to) that was how you became married in God's eyes. There were no licenses, elaborate ceremonies or anything like today's traditions. Today it is the same. When you have sex with somebody you are spiritually marrying them.
Nowadays I do believe it wise for couples to make the commitment to abstain only because if things don't go well during an engagement at least you can leave the relationship without having had that "next level bond" so to speak.
Anyways, I applaud the Daniel Fast and I am going to try it. All technicalities aside, if it worked it worked!
Congrats on your weight loss!
Do I get spiritual alimony from all those partners, then?
You must be spiritually wealthy!
Can I spiritually pay off my credit card?
With your past, I bet you could pay off everyone's!
Are you calling her a harlot?
Only spiritually, though. I need to figure out how to get my spiritual prostitution payments to be actual. Would going to church help?
Start going to church and stop consuming alcohol. It is all about sacrifice.
Don't get crazy, here. There's wine at Catholic churches.0 -

It's ok...ignorant people say stupid things. If you believe in God and the bible (and you can't say you believe in God if you dont believe his word),
That's incredibly ignorant and insulting of you to say. The "word of god" was written by men. Also, there are plenty of religions that have a deity, but not a "bible" of some sort. Unless you're basically saying that your god is the only one that exists, therefore once again being very insulting towards those who have a different belief system than you do.0 -

The Bible also says that if I get raped I am required to marry my rapist or be put to death, and if I'm married and my husband dies I have to marry his brother. GOD'S WORD!!! I don't think you should be calling other people ignorant when your book is FULL of inconsistencies and you've only bothered to read the selected sections that fit with your world view. Also, I hope you don't eat swine or wear cotton and linen together, you might be smote.0 -

The wine is the blood of Jesus, and if spilled his blood is on her hands, so yes.0 -
Please explain why it would make a difference to you if more people abstained from sex before marriage. I am not condemning nor condoning; just wondering how it would affect you either way.
less chance of unwanted pregnancy??
Um, condoms and birth control can do that too.....just sayin
Nope!!! That would cause god to be angry because you're screwing with his plan of overpopulation and famine...0 -
so I'm late to this party but... are you saying that you can only have the fruits of the lands on this fast? what about your boyfriend's fruits of the lands i.e. his stream? is that ok?
His urine or his swimmers?
not his urine no. OP knows what I'm talking about.
Wouldn't that make her a murderer? After all, those swimmers are alive....
please. that would be getting too literal. we're picking and choosing the parts of the bible that we follow over here.0 -
