Where does it say in the Bible that I have to eat fish on Good Friday?

You'll upset the Abletts

This was a great Bay13 fred.

I am sad.

I gave up Jesus for lent

Grew up in a very Catholic family.

Every year when I was a kid they'd ask: "what are you giving up for lent, Larry?"
"Going to church" I'd say.

Never once worked.

Unlike Jesus, Rick Astley is real

Why would we troll the second worst team in the AFL?

Not true.

He is a caricature manufactured by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, the three men responsible for killing music.

It’ll be a fat, juicy rib-eye on my Good Friday plate. It just seems more fitting. That Jesus fellow allegedly bled for our sins, whatever the hell that means so I say the more blood pissing out of my lump of cow, the better.

Blue to rare for me.

It doesn’t, it‘s Catholic law, and has nothing to do with Christianity.

Isn’s Catholicism a Christian cult?

A false Christian cult

So what is a real deal Christian cult?

The one Rance is involved with?

I didn't understand the comments about Ramadan. What do Ramen noodles have to do with this?

 

[Crankitup]

A false Christian cult

Starting with their veneration of Mary as a perpetual virgin despite Jesus having four brothers and two sisters.



Plenty of other nonsense ideas too.

Show Catholics that neither their good works nor their religion can save them.

That’s a false one too

Christians have fasted (gone without food) and abstained (gone without certain foods, especially meat) since the beginning. The Book of Genesis teaches that all the plants and animals that God created and entrusted to human beings are good, especially those given to us as food (Genesis 1:29). Jesus taught that nothing that a person eats makes him or her evil (Mark 7:18). So why then do Christians fast and abstain?

When the devil tempts Jesus in the desert with a comfortable life and a full stomach, Jesus recalls the wisdom of Deuteronomy: “One does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (8:3). Fasting and abstaining makes this real. It also hones our appetite, training us for the basic stance of a baptized person in this world: gratitude. Doesn’t something taste better once you’ve truly hungered for it? Aren’t we more grateful for what we’ve hungered and thirsted for?

Jesus recommended fasting, but not as a mere formality—and certainly not as a burden to be imposed on the poor who have to eat when they can, even if in violation of religious tradition. Instead Jesus recommended fasting when one fails to sense that God is near.

What then is the significance of abstaining from meat? And why eat fish? The tradition suggests a number of reasons. Some say that forgoing meat was forgoing a luxury, as meat was relatively rare for most people. This certainly would have been true in the ancient Mediterranean world in late winter—our time of Lent. Today this hardly seems true, since seafood is the luxury and hamburger costs pennies. And besides, the tradition is to abstain from meat, not necessarily to eat fish. Eating vegetables suffices.



So the short answer is, it doesn't say it in the bible specifically.

Yeah nah

Bloke was misquoted - was his wake and he wanted everyone to get on the "pish" - definitely not "fish".
