Pastor Dies After Trying to go 40 Days Without Food and Water While Fasting Like Jesus

A 39-year-old pastor in Mozambique lost his life on Wednesday after trying to go 40 days without food and water in a bid to fast like Jesus Christ in the Bible.

Francisco Barajah, the founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church and a French teacher in the town of Messica, died in a hospital in Mozambique's capital Beira, BBC reported.

The clergyman was attempting to emulate Jesus' 40-day fast from the Bible and had fasted for 25 days before he was rushed to hospital by his relatives and followers due to his deteriorating health.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Barajah was diagnosed with acute anemia and organ failure. He is reported to have lost so much weight that he could not stand up or support himself.

BBC reported that efforts to rehydrate the pastor with serums and liquid foods proved futile as he died a few hours after being admitted.

His followers said Barajah was used to fasting but not for such long periods of time.

Marques Manuel Barajah, the deceased’s brother, claimed his sibling passed away owing to low blood pressure.

This fake and foreign religious hustler lacks "Critical Thinking Skills." Premature death is what you pay for not using CTS (Critical Thinking Skills)in your daily life.

Trying very hard not to judge since even morons deserve a chance but it does give a whole new meaning to survival of the fittest.

Blind faith is very dangerous.Unfortunately,this is the strongest point religions bank on.However,one would mitigate this danger by questioning every belief,and doctine.Had this man done so, he would still be on this earth,most likely that is, unless he had some kind of mental issues...
Folks, you been had.You been bamboozeled.Have you seen any blind person gain sight? Have you seen any one walk on water? Have you seen anyone heal the sick by touch? Have you seen anyone turn wonder bread into basketfuls?. Have you seen acripple walk,and run?I guarantee you the answer is NO.Otherwise we would not be having the sick agonizing in hospital beds,or people is samburu starving,or cripples hobbling around on crutches.Yes these are uncomfortable questions,but someone has to ask them.Right?

I don’t think the Christian bible calls for suffering while worshiping. This in my view sounds much of a cult. Why inflict pain and suffering for the sake of worshiping?

Lack of knowledge. Dry aka Esther fast is only three days. After that you must be fed by angels or resume eating or water. 40 days water only fast is possible if healthy.
