Christian Breatharianism

By -





















“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).

Refuting the teaching of "Immortality on earth"

Immortality on Earth is the false teaching that a believer in Christ need not die physically but has the potential to overcome physical death through faith and live forever on the earth, enjoying everlasting life ON EARTH. The pioneer of this teaching is Pastor Kobus Van Rensburg Sr. Founder of the Spirit Word Church, South Africa (who died in 2013). This teaching is propagated by his son Pastor Kobus Van Rensburg Jr., his disciple Pastor Kirby de Lanerolle (WOW Life, Srilanka), Pastor Jesudian Silvester (Father’s House, Chennai) and others. Here are a few links of the Immortality on earth teachings: Late 'Prophet' Kobus Van Rensburg Sr :  Immortal Everlasting Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX7-4bI1mf4 Pastor Kirby De Lanerolle :   6 part Immortality series: Part 1:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNDiSx-nJbg Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9MSSJJut2o Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrALfXiFJgo Part 4: https://www.youtube.co

Fundamentals counters False Teaching

It is good to note that False Teaching is recognized as such and counter measures are being taken by younger leaders and newer churches.  This itself is a healthy sign.  However, it is essential to understand that there are fundamental principles that when ignored or violated, allows False Teaching to flourish and multiply.  I have put some fundamentals in an easy to way to understand, to build the immune system that withstands False Teaching onslaught. Anchor or Astray? First of all each and every disciple of Lord Jesus Christ should have a daily discipline and daily habit of devotionally studying the Word of God.  Habit and discipline like brushing the teeth.  Missing one day is also detrimental to health, so is the spiritual health.  It is devotional study and not academic study.  The fundamental belief that the Bible is THE word of God.  (Not that Bible contains the Word of God or Bible includes the Word of God).  Second, Bible is God’s Word.  One who does not read it states to
