I mean even the “fasting” (and I use the term lightly) that lds do. Good grief its announced and planned monthly.
Didn't Jesus tell the pharisees to stop complaining (IE standing on the street corner and announcing they were fasting and complaining about their hunger).
Wasn't it oil your hair, put on clean clothes and don't talk about it (fasting) because it was between you and God, not you and man.
Really much most of what lds do is between them and man, as opposed to between them and God.
Actually the mormons dont fast...
They just put off eating for a few hours like the moslems do...
Then they pig out...
Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights...
How many mormons do that ???
And yes Jesus told us not to announce and boast about our fasting but to just do it in secret...
