Christian Breatharianism
“Christian” Breatharianism is the dangerous teaching that believers can live a “fasted life” without eating any food and survive by partaking only of the Lord’s Supper/ Holy communion everyday and drawing from sunlight and other energy vibrations.
This teaching is propagated by Srilankan Pastor Kirby De Lanerolle (WOW Life church) who claims that he eats only a few times a year.
From Wikipedia: Inedia (Latin for "fasting") or breatharianism /brɛθˈɛəriənɪzəm/ is the belief that it is possible for a person to live without consuming food. Breatharians claim that food, and in some cases water, are not necessary for survival, and that humans can be sustained solely by prana, the vital life force in Hinduism. According to Ayurveda, sunlight is one of the main sources of prana, and some practitioners believe that it is possible for a person to survive on sunlight alone. The terms breatharianism or inedia may also refer to this philosophy practiced as a lifestyle in place of the usual diet.
Breatharianism is considered a lethal pseudoscience by scientists and medical professionals, and several adherents of these practices have died from starvation and dehydration –

It appears that Kirby is proposing a 'Christian' alternative to traditional breatharianism by promoting the daily consumption of the Holy Communion and gradually weaning off eating regular 3 meals-a-day diet as a means to overcoming physical death and living eternally on earth (immortality on earth).
Watch some excerpts from Kirby’s teachings on Breatharianism:
its substantive information.It seems like Asceticism, exercise by various religious groups for the purpose of pursuing spiritual goals ;its a practice of body mortification and self infliction of pain.Could it be accepted ?
