Is Gluttony Still A Sin?

["GL"]

You know you're right. What were we thinking???

The cows in Gen 41 were "fine looking and fat."

["GL"]

So it's really not an insult to call someone a fat cow...

Excercise, however, is vital to your health. Also, that extra weight you carry puts you on the fast track to experience several future health difficulties. Excercising will help you to increase your energy levels - so let that excuse die.

Once again, you are making valid points. I'm not saying that you are, nor did I witness it from you, but people will undoubtedly judge others by thier "obesity". It is important that we do not judge others and it seems that this thread was getting awfully close to doing that.

And a scripture speaking of the need for ministers to excercise:

Lev 7:31....the priest shall burn the fat

LOL!

I just saw my brother and a mutual friend of ours for the first time in a year. I've lost quite a bit and while they were aware, they were unprepared for what they would see.

I entered the house and my friend says, Hi J.....HOLY COW!

My brother then comes around the corner and says, Hi sis....HOLY COW!

I was offended. I told them I was a Holy Cow last year, but now I'm not as beefy.

They said it was a figure of speech. Whatever....

["GL"]

And lastly, the prophecy...

Mal 4:2
But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves...

SOOOOO, it's all good...

I have travelled overseas twice and I distinctly remember see VERY few overweight people after leaving the USA. It is primarily a national condition.

This is true but rapidly changing.
