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

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?
If your drink the wine or eat the cracker, you are a spiritual cannibal.0 -

You killed Jesus?
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 -

I'm so going to do this.
My ideal diet is one where I don't get to eat and don't get laid. And not only that, but I get to be like my idol: ABRACADANIEL!!!

In some lands they have no fruit so you just have to eat the dirt.
Heres a picture of Daniel during his fast.
Whos IN for the hardcore version of the Daniel Fast? Not what the OP posted.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!
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!!!!0 -

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..."0 -
That's not in the 10 Commandments. :-)It's ok...ignorant people say stupid things.

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.0 -
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.0

The New Covenant effectively invalidated the entire Old Testament.0 -

You can double your results if you do the Daniel fast, combined with Pontius Pilates.0 -
what is wrong with white sugar?
you realize you could of had same results with a 500 calorie per day deficit and not torturing yourself for 21 days..additionally, most of what was lost was more than likely water weight..just saying..
but good luck to you in keeping it off...0 -
How about The Atkins Mary diet?
You ride a donkey and don't get to eat any carbs for the entire duration of the journey.
You then consume ALL THE FARM ANIMALS!0 -

stop using logic. there's no room for that here. we're talking about fasting.0
