2. 2 Timothy 4:1 - 3 says that "commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be partaken of with Thanksgiving by those who have faith and accurately know the truth" is a "teaching of demons".
3. The 40 day fast of Lent is said to commemorate Jesus' 40 day fast. However, Jesus' fast took place after his baptism (in the autumn), not before his death (in the spring). On the other hand, a 40 day fast in the spring was common among the ancient pagan Egyptians, Greeks and Babylonians. The "Christian" custom was apparently borrowed from them.
