    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!

    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.

    Isn't there something about eating seafood aswell in the 10 commandments? I'll be checking diaries!!!!

    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??

    You realize birth control exists, right? Also, unwanted pregnancies can happen regardless of one's marital status; it's not like sperm goes "we'd fertilize that egg and give these two a pregnancy they don't want, but since they're married, we'll cut them some slack..."

    That's not in the 10 Commandments. :-)

    But the 10 Commandments are the only pasrt of the Old Testament Christians have to follow, I'm told. They ignore the rest. Something about a new covenent.
  • Praise God! It's great and encouraging to see other couples with their faith bonding them and using biblical diets to stay healthy, but most of all to stay connected with God! I've never heard of the Daniel diet, thanks for sharing! I'll be introducing this to my boyfriend too.

    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.

    It is spiritually transmuted into blood.

    If I spill wine does that mean I have blood on my hands?

    It depends...did you spill it on your hands?

    But what if I wash my hands after? Does that make me Pontius Pilate?

    You killed Jesus?

    No, but I created pilates.

    You can double your results if you do the Daniel fast, combined with Pontius Pilates.

    stop using logic. there's no room for that here. we're talking about fasting.

    In all serousness, she did it for spiritual reasons, not weight loss. It was just a side effect. And 5 pounds in three weeks isn't a huge rate of loss. I doubt she only lost water weight.

    I kinda feel bad for the OP. Bu tthat rape and sex trade comment ...

    Abstinence only sex education and practice certainly has a stunning track record on teen pregnancies!

    No it wouldnt, lol.

    Sex education is a better way to prevent those things, along with more readily available sexual health services.
