Uhhh... I disagree. Matt.6:16-18 Jesus knew they were fasting to get attention and rewards from people. He did not say fasting was right or wrong, just that it should be done for no EARTHLY gain.

Unless you are looking at a different scripture this is what I was referring to?

Nope, I was just applying the same interpretive model you used yesterday in the story about the rich man who asked Jesus what he needed to do to have eternal life. Remember?
