Anything that takes a precedent over God is an idol.
Vanity is a sin.

1 Timothy 4
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
3 They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods which God created to be eaten with thanksgiving by those who have come to trust and to know the truth. 4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing received with thanksgiving needs to be rejected, 5 because the word of God and prayer make it holy.


8 For although physical exercise does have some value, godliness is valuable for everything, since it holds promise both for the present life and for the life to come.

Proverbs 16:18
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
18 Pride goes before destruction,
and arrogance before failure.

Deuteronomy 4:24
Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
24 For Adonai your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Look at what sin means when you have a question about sin.
Sin means "to miss the mark".
The teaching of Jesus is "deny your self".
You who tries do deny your self is also to be denied if we are about to follow the teaching without interpretation.
What is left is to stay as one are.
Then you know the cross of being tempted to step into the world of taking ones self as an idea again.
Jesus was not out of that world as he said.
He is with us until the end of the world.
In the end of the story is he with us as he expresses how it can feel to no longer give authority to ones idea of ones self.
"My god my god, why have you forsaken me" or as it also has been described "it is finished".

Been alittle bit chubby is not a sin or if you have a medical condition, but if you are grossly obese from over indulging in junk food, then yes it is a sin "gluttony"
If you are obese you have lost self control and self discipline.

My advice to gluttons is to fast and pray in repentance

Truth is what is as it is.
Being free from ones self in truth is the kingdom of god.
The teaching of Jesus is to deny your self, it means to stay as your are because also that self in you who denies must be denied.
That is why Jesus said, before Abraham, i am.
Person comes and goes while we are.

Sin means to miss the mark, it is the translation.
Why is sin something other than the translation?

I don't understand what your point is? Are you saying over indulging in over eating food is not a sin?, im not clear of what your position is?

Could you clarify?

Jesus said love others as your self, not like your self.
If you tell others what to do not to sin then you are comparing your idea of your self with others, you love others like your self.
It is to miss the mark.
Sin means to miss the mark.

I do not go out of my way to point out others mistakes (I believe people who take joy in doing this, well it comes from a dark place)
I am not one of those people im not a judgemental person, but we are on a forum and the question that was asked, "is Been fat a sin?"

My answer is, yes if you are obese from over eating, giving in to your wimbs and desires (giving in to temptation) then yes it is a sin 'gluttony'

Getting fat is the consequence of been greedy (over eating)

I have been guilty of this sin myself in the past, I am not condemning anyone here, just giving my opinion (as asked for by the op)

"Love your neighbor" with due respect, I don't think this quote is relevant to what we are talking about.

Im sorry if you don't like the truth, but the truth is, been greedy is a sin (it maybe ok once in a while, but if you are giving in to temptation on a daily basis, this is sin "gluttony")

God bless you
