So, I am told that as a homosexual, I must turn from my "supposed" sin in order to inherit the kingdom of God.
So, what about the obese? If someone dies fat, obviously, they did not turn from their sin of gluttony. So, from a literal interpretation of scripture, they are going to hell too. Correct?
Proverbs 23:2 even goes so far as to say, "put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony."
II Peter 1:6 says that a Christian must have self-control...an obese person obviously does not exercise self-control
Philippians 3:19 says"...their God is in their stomach...their mind is on earthly things."...they are not of God
And, I Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "your body is a temple of God...honor God with your body
additional reading Proverbs 23:20-21, II Peter 1:5-7, II Timothy 3:1-9...all about your body, self control, etc...
Given that obesity a big problem facing America...and that unrepentant sinners/gluttons go to hell...why don't you rail against fat people?
