Pay to call Curlyben for advice ($1/min) | It all really depends on how strictly you follow your religion. | |

| Hello Emma:
Then be Jewish on Friday. What? Who said you couldn't change, and then change back again? We have freedom of religion here in this country.

Col 2:16-18
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
NKJV | |

| So you do not wish to give up one item one day a week as a show of faith, I would assume you don't like to fast before communion, don't like to go to confession or more.
So how old are you and how long have you been catholic | |

I've always been Catholic that's 14 year of fish every friday. | |

| Ok I'm confused. Why in the WORLD do catholics have to eat fish on Friday? where is THAT in the Bible? and while we are on the subject of things in the Bible...why would a person need to fast before communion? I've been a Christian for a long time and i have never read those "rules" in scripture. I always thought we were set free to eat what we wanted when we wanted.
I wouldn't mind eating fish on Friday's ..i LOVE it. I just don't believe it is biblical. | |

| you don't have to eat FISH, on Friday, you just can't eat other meats, there are 1000's of veggie dishes, in fact a non meat diet is not a bad idea. | |

| 1 Timothy 4: "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, 3 who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer." | |
