If one is a Catholic practicing their faith then it is sinful to deny the teachings of the Church. Good Friday is a day of fasting and absinance. Lent is the remembrance of Christ fasting for 40 days in the wilderness after His baptism. Completely biblical. Fasting and abstinance is recommended in both the OT and the NT, the Church simply designated days to fast and abstain from meat. The bible was not "completed in 90AD" by a long shot. The Church was still hiding and underground and persecuted all throughout the empire. the "KJV" would not come about for nearly 1500 more years. The Church has been observing Lent for many centuries. The 1st record of Lent was as soon as Constantine legalised the faith, anybody who has a clue of Christian history knows that all other denominations seperated from their Mother Church; the Catholic Church. St. Ignatius the bishop od Antioch wrote a letter to the Church in Smyrnea when he was in captivity and on his way to Rome to die in the coliseum for being a Christian.This letter was written between 107 and 109 AD. He names the Catholic Chuch in his letter centuries before thebible was written.

It is not commanded nor forbidden. But if for you it is a problem, then you should not go against your conscience.

No, it’s not a sin. But I do think there’s tradition to fast from meat. But it’s just tradition.

All cults are different so you would have to check with the specific cult you are inquiring about.

That depends on your religion.
