A friend recently remarked about her discussion with a gay man, he remarked he knew she considered gay a sin, she replied yes, it is, but we are all sinners, I overeat which is a sin.
I’ve pondered her remark, wondering if she knows her overeating is a sin, why is she cavalier about her sin. Seems she should not do it, yes, I agree we all sin but aren’t we called to stop sinning, should we continue in our sin which we know is wrong?
This led me to ponder why sexual sin is often the trigger, I am reminded of another discussion with a different friend whose church mandated the sexual sinner confess and repent in front of his church when his girlfriend (now wife) was pregnant, his premarital sin was obvious, I can guess others in the church had sexual sin in their life, but it did not become apparent for all to see.
Does anyone have experience of an obese person being confronted about the sin in their life? I’m also reminded of a pastor who talked about being confronted with his obesity. He was told he was not a good example being obese; he took the message to heart, losing weight to be a more effective pastor.
Since we all need to eat, how does one balance eating good foods, staying healthy and still enjoying food. I know some make healthy eating their god, instead of the true God.
What is your view on obese Christians? Is their obesity a sin or not? Should an obese person be confronted, of course they already know they are obese.
...and this isn't about "gay"
