Lent 2019

I wish I could believe again. All I want is to be able to believe again, and spend my life on Mt Athos with these men (or in a Carthusian monastery 100+ years ago):

Oh wow i'm going to virtue signal by not eating for like 40 days, look at me. I'm so virtuous.

That's the ripe old age of 33 to you, son. That was like 70 back in those days.

You had me till you brought the Romans into it instead of saying his fellow Jews killed him.

The first rule of fasting is to not talk about fasting

Kill yourself

Doing my first Lent this year. In a really deep hole in my personal life rn, so trying to get more serious in the faith. Attending mass weekly, went to Ash Wednesday for the first time...

I observe no meat and only one meal a day on Fridays during Lent. Also, no porn or masturbation, which is insanely difficult.

GF recently left me, who I wanted to propose to, had to move back to my parents. It feels hopeless a lot these days...Trying to keep my spirits high. Keep my in your prayers, brothers, and God be with you all.

Jesus was not only a faggot (died in homoerotic BDSM), but he was also a Jew.

>fasting
You're telling me all I had to do was fast? I chose to give up fapping but I didn't need to, all I needed to do was eat less. FUCK.

Christfags are such weak faggots. Just off yourself already

Checked, but you're still a nigger.

You mean that he was murdered by the government for his revolutionary theology at the age of 33.

Kinda in a similar hole... minus the gf part. That shiped sailed even further back.

Niggers are made in the image of your jewish god, christcuck

I thought about it but drinking coffee and browsing Jow Forums are the only pleasures in my life and if I stop either depression will start drifting under my door

>he admits creation is real
Be blessed, young one.

There is no creation/creator.

You should probably stop browsing Jow Forums to be honest.

Lent is not in the Bible

Starting my Lent today since I'm Orthodox

>Doing my first Lent this year.
Not in the Bible
>Ash Wednesday
Not in the Bible
>I observe no meat
Abstaining from meat is actively condemned in the Bible in 1 Timothy 4:3

>Should I give up posting and even browsing Jow Forums for Lent?
Yes. All christians should.

wanna know how I know youre actually croatian?

I will fast but i don't plan to quit Jow Forums entirely. I'll just reduce my time spend on Jow Forums

Bump

Please, leave.

Not a christian but on day 11 of a water fast that I plan to run through.

Jow Forums is very shit lately anyway i only come to check my filters

Who is the real continuation of the Roman State Church? Catholic or Orthodox? Why does the Roman State Church that gave us all our doctrine and traditions, including the Trinity and the canon, get so much hate from tinfoil Protetards?

you aren't allowed to eat milk,eggs,meat during the fasting, american.

reminder, no eggs or milk-based products.

Depends on which one you consider to be the continuation of Rome, ERE or HRE.

>you aren't allowed to eat milk,eggs,meat during the fasting
Not in the Bible, or any of the Scriptures.

In addition to giving something up, you should do something new to promote spiritual development. I bought some candles that I light in the evening to read scripture by- it's been fantastic

Drinking beer and smoking weed. Father help me

No one here wants to follow you Semitic desert traditions, kike.

Not one thing in that list is vegan, so for a true Christian it wouldn't matter anyway.

Would it matter for a "true Christian" that Lent is also not in the Bible, and abstaining from meats and ritual fasting are condemned in the Scriptures?

He's right though you suppose to not eat dairy at all during lent

I am fasting for today. Gave up Lust for Lent and for now on :D

gtfo kike

Lent is not about "giving something up". The thing you do for lent should DRAW YOU CLOSER TO GOD or a GODLY LIFE. In other words, you can DO something instead of SACRIFICING something. I am saying a daily rosary for lent. I am not sacrificing, I am increasing the amount of time that I think about and pray to God everyday.

Kys yourself my man. You, along with everyone else in this thread have been bamboozled by NWO paganized "Chistianity" occultic Sun worship. Here's a propit: if it's not in the Scripture, it's not Christian.

>baby joined his first internet cult
When we were Christians you still communicated with runes and smoke signals my friend. You don't get to lecture us about Christianity.

If it's not in the Bible, it doesn't come from God - very simple fact.

I gave up jerking off, it was my worst vice

kys retard

I believe in you magyaranon

We wrote the Bible and we decided what scriptures are the Bible and what not. You are being manipulated by cultists.

I get your drift about quitting Jow Forums, you may as well if you aren't a part of the effort to win, but if you are then don't leave bruh we still got shit to do and moves to make

just give up masturbation or something

traditional roman catholic here. I fast all year long from meat on Friday. During lent I gave up gaming, and just to make it better I don't eat anything while the sun is up only exception is Sunday. You should give up whatever you think you waste the most time on, or wrongly love too much.

I didn't give up meat But I have EASILY given up lust. I have no use for pleasures of the flesh and material wants. I could lose my limbs and not lose my faith. God is great :D

Still give up fapping. pleasures of the flesh are temporary. The kingdom of god is eternal :D

>We wrote the Bible
God wrote the Bible.
>We decided what scriptures are the Bible and what not
Yet you somehow didn't include one that tells Chrisitans to observe Lent.

Sit down and be humble, retard. Imagine saying shit like "We wrote the Bible", Sin of Pride is the foremost of the Seven Deadly Sins. Hubris is the gateway through all other sin enters the mortal soul.

Yet this post is created .. Magic ?

Christ fasted for 40 days lent is for faggots

Send me links to enlighten me please and teach me about Christianity, I want to believe

Using Lent as an excuse to kick 3+-year kratom habit. On day 4 of withdrawals, getting virtually no sleep. Tomorrow I have to return to work. Pray for me, goys.

Read the Bible.

what BUT read something a fellow user wrote as a result of bible studies. It helps condense a lot of the message and make it easier to understand. VERY WELL WRITTEN :D

>Adding or substracting from the Word of God
READ
THE
BIBLE
AND
NOTHING
BUT
THE
BIBLE

Its not a bible. the basic message is to be as close to god as possible. OF COURSE you read the bible and focus on it. But the message is often manipulated by many faithless CINOS. SAD : /

I will be reading the bible just some people on here mentioned a man I can’t remember a name, but he gives interesting lectures. Thanks for the links. Podcasts etc are welcomed for when I am walking.

E Michael Jones is a GREAT source. Godspeed user :D

you are a commie, why even bother to explain to you why we don't eat meat during this fasting.

Woah what black magic is this

Waterfasting except on sundays until good friday to reflect on my gluttonous behavior.

Nicotine Lozenges will help you on your journey

Thanks but I don't want to exchange one vice for another. Trying to reflect and draw nearer to source.

I'm Greek and I keep Orthodox Lent specifically because Greek Orthodoxy is the continuation of the religion my ancestors have practiced for thousands of years

i'm giving up drinking.

The bible was compiled by people, not God, which is why apostolic succession and church tradition is more important than the bible

You don't always have to give something up for Lent. You can add a positive change instead of removing a negative.
The whole point is to improve yourself a little bit every year.
Since we are all sinners the most common way to do so is removal of negative influence.

Will Pope Francis give up washing nigger feet this Lent?

Many ancient Greek philosophers died around the age of 80 to 110. It was also kind of possible to live that long and also be healthy because food, water and air weren't constantly polluted by kike shit. It's the middle ages where sanitation around most of Europe was willingly destroyed that people started dying in swarms.
