A conversation with a non-Dispensationalist, initiated by this post which asked if Paul taught about fasting. I post it here because I believe
it contains valuable information for people who are learning to study the Word
and who are seeing the need to rightly dividing the scriptures.
REACTION:
This is part of the problem with Dispensationalism — we have the clear teaching from Jesus Himself that fasting is an essential part of spiritual life (not to mention unambiguous historical records of periodic fasting being normative going back to the very earliest days of Christianity), and then Dispensationalists come up with excuses to disregard it all.
RESPONSE:
My post does not forbode fasting. It simply informs that it is not an obligation, nor a necessity, nor a means, under grace.
