驚き神学 断食問題

断食について調べていたら
面白い主張に出くわした。

People had complained to Jesus saying, “Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink”“ (Luke 5:33). But Jesus replied that as long as he is with them his disciples should not fast, but after he is taken away then “they will fast in those days” (Luke 5:35). This is why Jesus also gave them instructions on how to fast for the sake of God (Matthew 6:16-18). If they were never to fast, such instructions would be pointless.

The Bible shows that the disciples were fasting afterwards: “they had fasted and prayed” (Acts 13:3), and again they had “prayed with fasting” (Acts 14:23). The Bible mentions fasting as one of the observances of a minister of God (2 Corinthians 6:5), and “fastings often” as a proof of the worth of a disciple of Jesus.

新約聖書からいってもイエスがいなくなったあとは弟子たちは
断食をするようになっている。(使徒行伝 13:3, 14:23)

イエスのおしえから断食は必須である。

この点でイエスの教えをまもっているものが
イスラム教徒だと。

イスラム教の断食をイエスのおしえから正当化しているのだ。
