Is fasting a part of the New Covenant?  Or is it like "circumcision" in that it does not apply to the Christian?  When Christ was asked about his disciples not fasting, he replied that they do not now fast, but after He is gone, they will.  When Christ said the disciples will fast after He is gone, does the word "fast" mean a literal fasting or does it mean a literal hungering after Christ?

In any case, the Pentecostals and Charismatics have made much gain out of this Old Testament rite monetarily and so-called theologically, if one can say these people have any theology at all.  For the most part, they are theologically ignorant and sycophantly eager to gain their 30 pieces of silver. One such example, Jentezen Franklin Ministries - Free Chapel Worship Center and his 21-Day Fast CD Pak is a morose debauchery of Christian theology.

How many more of these ridiculous charades will haunt and prey on the gullible American religious public?
