people test the word. the word holds up. trust/faith in the word builds. after a while they just trust/faith in scripture.
.
napkin analogy just show what kind of challenges unbelievers face.

scripture talks about fasting a lot and it turns out its one of the easiest and healthiest things a person can do

There was once a small village. One day it was storming and raining very heavily that the village was flooding and the residents were evacuating. Yet there was one man who was waiting outside his house. The waters were rising and it was up to their ankles. Then a man passed by and said "You've got to come with me!" The man waiting outside the house said "No, I'm waiting for the LORD to come and save me." The man walked on.

The waters kept rising that the house was half submerged and the man was sitting on the roof of the house. Then a man riding a camel passed by and said "You've got to come with me!" The man waiting on the roof of the house said "No, I'm waiting for the LORD to come and save me." The man on the camel walked on.

The waters kept rising that the house was now submerged but the man was still sitting on the roof of the house. Then a man riding a boat passed by and said "You've got to come with me!" The man waiting on the roof of the house said "No, I'm waiting for the LORD to come and save me." The man on the boat rowed on.

The waters kept rising and that man drowned. Then he was face to face with the LORD and asked "Why didn't you save me?" The LORD replied "I sent you a man, I sent you a camel and I sent you a boat. What more do you want?"

So shall it be with you if you fail to act on what the LORD has sent you.

Define "test" because if you are anyone other than religious fanatic your conclusion will be either there is no such thing as God or no evidence available to determine his existence.

In order to test the word you have to suspend your belief/trust/faith that it is true. You have to invite skepticism or the possibility that it might not be true.
Since Christianity doesn't allow to think that way. Therefore you testing the word is an oxymoron and nothing more than a confirmation bias.

Thanks for proving how fake your religion is.

Genesis 3:14 - King James Version

Irony at its finest.

Quran has fasting also. By your logic does it mean it's also true?

Peter Pan is associated with a famous quote from the original novel: "There is a saying in the Neverland that, every time you breathe, a grown-up dies." This line appears in Chapter 11 of Peter and Wendy (1911)

There is breathing in Peter Pan story does it make Neverland real? Breathing has many more benefits then fasting therefore Peter Pan > Jesus

Tistuff with kindergarten logic strikes again.

I agree Christians defeated by a napkin must be embarrassing when your logic is used against you like that

knowing that you are well over 50 puts a lot of your posts in very clear perspective....lol
