what is overweight? Perhaps i should carry a chart and a tape measure to ascertain their height, ask their age and look up my chart and pronounce them overweight. Its a congregation not a slimming club.

are you saying you cannot discern if people are overweight or not?

as a man of science I am interested in measurement, in order for me to tell if they are truly over weight i would need to weigh them, unless of course they were so overweight as to be dangerously so, even then good tailoring or loose fitting garments can be deceptive.

as a man of science are you familiar with the word 'estimate'?


what tools do you use to ascertain the difference between homo and hetro - sexual?

So basically those people who are obese, like yourself, who's status is 'contrary to nature and the word of God' get off without reproach.

I think this is covered in Matthew 7:5.

"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." -- Matthew 7:5, KJV

Except the beam becomes acceptable to some.

once again unless you can demonstrate why they should be reproached (regardless of what I have said) then all your whinging and all your assertions are to no avail. Let me know when you can. So far, nada!

Me thinketh Dee Dee that thee is a total airhead and I hadeth it in mindeth too cut thee some slacketh and though goeth and doeth this abomination,

she who is without sineth casteth the first stone.

And he who is with sin should shutteth up.

How do we know there are no chicks in heaven?

"And when he [the Lamb] had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." (Rev. 8:1)

There is no whinging here, but I understand completely why you want to make this about me. It can't be easy facing up to your spiritual and moral failings on this forum, but I'm sorry fatboy, it's time to man up and take your medicine. 🙂

This quite frankly bizarre notion that I have to substantiate something which we already both agree on is nothing more than deflection. Deflection from the real issue here which is that obese people like yourself, who we both agree have become 'contrary to nature and the word of God, are beyond reproach.

So, to shut you up, I'll play your silly little game. Obesity is a 'defilement' of the body which is warned against in 2 Corinthians 7:1.

at last, so how does obesity defile the body?

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. 2 Corinthians 7:1

Here's more -

The major diseases associated with obesity are hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes, as well as certain types of cancer. Less well-known complications include hepatic steatosis, gallbladder disease, pulmonary function impairment, endocrine abnormalities, obstetric complications, trauma to the weight-bearing joints, gout, cutaneous disease, proteinuria, increased hemoglobin concentration, and possibly immunologic impairment.
