RAMADAN : FASTING TO THE WRONG GOD AND IN THE WRONG WAY

A key point which Muhammadians miss in relation to Jesus teaching on fasting, is that, even if they were worshipping the right God, (which they aren’t) they fast in the wrong way, just as they pray the wrong way.

What does Jesus say about such overt posturing?

Three times in Matthew 6 relation to overtly public giving, (verse 2), to prayer (verse 5) and to fasting (verse 16), Jesus uses the same words “They already have their reward.”

Ellicott’s Commentary:

“They have their reward.The Greek is more expressive: ‘They have to the full, and so exhaust.’ There is nothing more for them to look for. They bargained for that praise of men, and they get it; but they sought not the honour that cometh of God only, and therefore He gives them none.”

What the Muhammadian seeks from fasting during Ramadan – that is the cancelling of bad deeds – and earning Allah’s forbearance is the EXACT opposite of what Jesus says here.

Jesus makes it plain that by seeking the praise and respect of men, they should expect NOTHING from God.

#FACT: If we want to impress men we can never impress God. They are mutually exclusive concepts.

As always the Quran is antithetical to the Bible on any and every doctrine you care to mention.

As for how to fast according to Islam there are to the eyes of the kaffir a bewildering array of do’s and dont’s. There are even rules for how the kaffir should behave. See memes attached.

There is another verse from Jesus which comes to mind here, speaking about the Pharisaic Jews and scribes (who are a straight read across to modern day Muhammadians):

“For they tie up heavy burdensome loads, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders” (Matthew 23:4)
