You made the claim in defence of fasting that it was taught in the Bible. I simply said it’s rather shallow to use scripture to defend it but not use scripture for how it should be done. Scripture says do it in secret not this “in your face” public display.
What “this”?!?!?
The Ashes are a “dust to dust” reminder at the beginning of Lent.
There is NOTHING “in your face” about what we choose to do individually during Lent.
