Fasting, originally, was abstaining from consumption of food or drink. It has been broadened to mean abstaining from any "normal" activity. If you are wondering about fasting from food specifically, I would recommend Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. It's soundly practical and based on...

Which would make the sunrise pics more troublesome for your position. ;)

All the maps I can find show the main building pointing within a degree or two of due North with the smaller section pointing a little East. The peninsula juts about 5 degrees East of North. That would put the 'sunset' pic I posted recently showing the sun at about 30 degrees South of West.

As I did not say that, now you are caught in your own lie. I see no reason to continue interacting with you until you own your sin and repent of it.

Dead wrong. If the biblical text said, “God said that the sun stood still” then perspective would be irrelevant. It doesn’t, leaving perspective relevant and leaving that text still irrelevant to this thread topic.

Whether the sun literally stood still or not is immaterial to this thread topic.

Perspective affects the perception of truth without making the truth a lie. Like it or not, with some things we are like the five blind men describing an elephant.

It’s only problematic if you assume the purpose of Scripture is to provide explanations of real-world phenomena in 21st-century scientific jargon. It isn’t. It was terminology understandable to the ancients. Yes, a few of them understood engineering, but the Bible was not written for engineers...

No, the Northward shadows at locations South of the Tropic of Capricorn.

It's not entirely clear what you are stating, in the context of this thread topic. Perhaps you could rephrase it?

Your comment might be meaningful if you understood what a fallacy is. Clearly, you don't. Are you suggesting that I will answer to God for the fact that God's word is truth? That's just silly. Your previous post added to God's words, thus you are proved a liar. You will be judged with the...

It's a momentary fix, but satisfying nonetheless. ;)

Striving? No thanks, I'm trying to quit. :cool:

Sure. Let's discuss the shadows that are impossible on the flat Earth. :)

God also never said that we need iron, sodium and magnesium in our diets, but we do. The absence of a biblical assertion does not make that assertion false. No, He doesn't. Don't confuse your interpretation of Scripture with Scripture itself. Nor one to refute it. No, dishonesty is knowingly...

A man who is always at the beckon call of his wife is a man who will lose his wife's respect.

Being passed over stinks. Read Psalm 73. :)

Strictly, no. However, it is useful to do some of the deeper research in Scripture to address the issues the flock may face.

Thanks M! :)

If the husband is to love the wife as Christ loves the Church, then he is to tell her "No" when her requests are inappropriate, not to jump and then ask "How high?", which Christ certainly does not do for the Church. Let's not confuse sappy, misguided misconceptions of chivalry with biblical wisdom.
