Debatable Matters

You see the word gluttony, but not the definition. You define it as being fat.

I've seen it described as volume of eating. Where in the Bible does it simply mean fat?

Gluttony is as bad as drunkenness according to the bible. You can decide what gluttony is yourself, according to you only the act of homosexuality is sin and not lustful thoughts...

Your hiding Eladar, I think you're a secret glutton.

Is it to the point of feeling full?

Is it a sliding scale based on metaolism?

You seem very sensitive about this topic.

What about gluttony? Clearly you are overweight and quite sensitive about it; you should be as gluttony is as bad as drunkenness which is as bad has homosexuality. But don't worry if you only think gay thoughts or think about eating.

Continuing in fantasy is sin. Initial thought is not sinful, just sin of the flesh.

Nothing sinful about being overweight, except for those who are dying.

It depends on why overindulgence is sinful. If the food eaten by a person could be used to feed the poor, would it not be sinful?

No, it's just consuming more than you need. It's a lust for food.

But this is not in the Bible, you said it was the act of one man laying with another.

But there is Eledar, I've even given you the scripture. You keep hiding behind excuses like "it's not in the NT", or "the bible doesn't define gluttony".

I would say gluttony is worse.

Nowhere does it say you might as well kill yourself if you are a drunk.
'It does say if you are a glutton then you might as well commit suicide.

Science tells us that it is also the result of having the wtong bacteria in your gut.

Your uneducated view of weight is infantile. I suppose it is difficult to teach an old dog.

But hey, anything you'd learn will be lost soon anyhow.

I really didn't see you as being someone who ignored scripture just because it condemned you. Disappointing.
