Other than for serious, medical reasons, I don't see Fasting as a Good Thing [s]

[Guest guest]

The Urantia Book, P.1574 - §1 Physical fasting becomes dangerous

after four or five days; one is apt to lose all desire for food.

Prolonged fasting, either physical or spiritual, tends to destroy

hunger.

P.1655 - §4 (Jesus speaking) To pray is natural for the children of

light, but fasting is not a part of the gospel of the kingdom of

heaven. Be reminded that a wise tailor does not sew a piece of new

and unshrunk cloth upon an old garment, lest, when it is wet, it

shrink and produce a worse rent. Neither do men put new wine into old

wine skins, lest the new wine burst the skins so that both the wine

and the skins perish. The wise man puts the new wine into fresh wine

skins. Therefore do my disciples show wisdom in that they do not

bring too much of the old order over into the new teaching of the

gospel of the kingdom.

P.1514 - §4 Jesus did not fast during this forty days' isolation. The

longest period he went without food was his first two days in the

hills when he was so engrossed with his thinking that he forgot all

about eating. But on the third day he went in search of food.
