I've just finished with my fast from PS2. One month ago, I realized I have an unusual craving for Playing the PS. At church camp, Nelson asked me an interesting question:'' If Jesus were to tell you to stop playing PS can you do it?''
'No'
That's why I took a fast from playing PS. to make myself more 'normal'. there were many times I've wanted to play just to take a break, But It would be very wrong.... so I haven't played PS for a month. Fasting complete with no flaws. Well, Enough about me fasting, now for my opinion on fasting.....
Fasting is primarily the act of willingly abstaining from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. A fast may be total or partial concerning that from which one fasts, and may be prolonged or intermittent as to the period of fasting. However, Fasting may also be the act of willingly sustaining from certain acts such as playing sports, driving, saying certain words.... etc.
In a medical context, Fasting is required to calculated a persons metabolism.
The act of fasting is mentioned in both Old and New Testements.
In Isaiah 58, Isaiah chastised the Israelites for the unrighteous methods and motives for fasting.
In Matthew 6: 16-18 ,Jesus warned his followers against fasting only to make others admire them. He suggested practical steps should be taken to fast in private.
Fasting is also practiced by Muslims, Buddists, and other religions for reasons such as atoning for their sins.
It isn't very wise to simply just fast form anything. The act of fasting should never be taken lightly as God sees the heart. This makes fasting a serious act. No joke.
