How about giving up a belief in a NON-SCRIPTURAL DOCTRINE like lent?
First, let’s see what catholics say about lent:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09152a.htm
Ok, we see a lot of talk about the 40 years that the Jews wandered in the desert, the 40 days Jesus was in the wilderness, ect.
But WHERE ARE THE SCFRIPTURAL REFERENCES saying that we should know anything more about these events, then they happened, or practice the same things, (such as not eating meat, giving up things for the time period of Lent), ect?
There is NOTHING in Scripture that even remotely SUGGESTS that we should do ANY of these things!
Just a bunch of “supposed” theologians, saying that we DO have to do these.
What I see here, is that catholics are commanded to do these things, simply as “brownie points”, in order to get in good with God!
That falls under the catagory of what in Scripture is called WORKS.
What does the Bible say about works?
Ephesians 2:8-9 (New International Version)
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast.
Is giving up anything going to matter to God?
Is NOT eating meat on a specific day, going to matter to God?
Is celebrating a NON-SCRIPTURALy supported time period, going to matter to God?
How does God see any of these things, if they are simply to try to get in good with Him?
Isaiah 64:6 (New International Version)
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
All of these works that I have pointed out are as FILTHY RAGS before God.
They are USELESS in the role that God WANTS us to live!
Don’t you think that it is time to get rid of all the excess baggage, that man, NOT GOD, has “ordained”, & start living ONLY by what the BIBLE teaches?

I’m not christian so I’m not giving up anything.
May 23rd, 2010 at 11:10 am
soda, ugh!
it’s going to be a long 40 days…
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:10 pm
to all the people that say ‘jesus’ or ‘believing in God’…if you don’t believe in God then why are you going around answering religious questions? nobody thinks you’re funny by being disrespectful. you need to respect differences in beliefs. its what make America such a great place.
anyways
i’m giving up junk food all together. and swearing. keep in mind you don’t just have to give up food..it can be anything you do that is bad. like a bad habit you want to break.
good luck!

I’m giving up not smoking pot.

Anything that you would give up for lent is most likely things that you enjoy but deep down know that they are not good for you. If you can do it for lent — do it forever.
Forget giving up the “Sweet Baby Ray” – it,s one of the best. Don’t
give it up. Another good one is Crazy Cajun. He is a friend of mine and makes a damn good sauce.
