FASTING -OLD/NEW

The Pharisees were not fasting because they needed to but because it was a practice. It was a doctrine so they obey not because there was a reason for them to fast. They do it to show off.

Jesus was explaining to them that as long as He was around there will be no reason for his disciples to fast. When he is gone, there will be many reasons for that.

This is a new practise that cannot be mixed up with the old. They are new men in Christ and so should not mix up with the old.

Maybe Jesus was trying to show the difference between Himself and John. Jesus was now among them, and He had come after John. Therefore, John was the old and Jesus the new. Things would be different now that Jesus was among them, and the people would now follow Jesus rather than John.

Healing is a wholistic change. That calls for a new wineskin. New body. New strenghtened purified vessel for His precious puryfying Blood. Its the Blood of Spirituality too and our bodies cannot be engrossed enmeshed in the fleshy world to receive it. hence that purification. To which also follows a fuller enjoyment partecipation of that life God gave us. The joy of being Christians.As free''d'' children of Grace. And we ned to learn that spiritual life is real life when the earthly one fades and slowly abandons us. Fasting helps us feeling those bodily sensations. That swooning of the body and being filled with the Spirit.

Just following tradition and fasting will not make you holy, unless you listen to the word of God and understand it. Therefore Jesus encouraged those who gathered to listen to him rather than just fast for tradition`s sake.

Jesus made the point that He was still with the disciples and there was no reason to fast. To fast is not a condition of salvation. If we accept Christ as our Savior, Christ forgives us of our sins.

The old testament is different from the new testament. So therefore u can`t expect to get something good out of something when you put new and old together. You won`t get nothing but something that is spoiled.

Jesus Questioned About Fasting

John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't fast?"
Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can't fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day. No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made. No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins."

Mark 2:18-22
