It's not food. Gluttony (eating too much junk) is a sin. And it says right there in the bible it is a sin. It also says how we should live. We are to take care of our bodies and make wise decisions. What are you not understanding about this? Why are you being lukewarm in this topic?
Ok, in the case of bacon. In the old testament it was not even considered food. (I know the old dietary laws don't apply anymore) Still, it is obviously not healthy, so eating too much of it will still destroy your body eventually, so even that is not a wise choice. It's very simple to understand. Eating too much of a bad thing is NOT healthy, and God won't bless you doing that, even if you are still saved. We are to change our lifestyles once we are born-again to God's will for us, otherwise there will be consequences in you getting sick. I don't know why you can't understand this.
Nothing wrong with donuts. But if a person is always stuffing their face with them at a church meetings, it could be that the word gluttony is a concern. Maybe not, however if you or I aren't actually going to confront such a person as their doing it, then it's pie in the sky stuff complaint.
Nope, you are taking something that is basic common sense and biblical and twisting it so you can feel fine with feeding the flesh and giving into carnal desires. So any criticism that comes your way you despise. It is common sense for any Christian to live a healthy lifestyle. If you don't, you are setting a terrible example. Please read the word more clearly to understand what God wants in your life.
I'm not teaching anything. You came into my thread throwing accusations at me that I claimed you can't be a Christian if you eat junk food. No, I simply said as Christians we SHOULD eat healthy and it is wrong for churches to promote sugar and junk food, especially if they want to be set apart from the world. This is basic common sense anyone should understand. It is bad to eat junk food and you will get sick from it and God won't bless you or protect you from illness if you choose to feed the flesh by putting toxic chemicals in your body on a daily basis. This is the simple truth.
No, that does come from the text and that is what it means. It refers to anything that you feed your flesh, including food. Why are you denying this?
Umm what? God doesn't destroy anybody. You destroy yourself. It's called free will. You put bad things in your body, you get sick and destroy your temple. It's called consequences. That's all on you, not God. What example am I setting? The word of God, and also common sense that he gave all of us. The church should be set apart from the world and set a good example.
It is talking about anything that affects the temple, including food. Anything means anything, and food is something you put right into your body. It is incredibly obvious and simple to understand. I am quite suspicious on why you and a bunch of others sensitive about this topic. It seems like you just want to continue indulging in things that are bad for you, and that is wrong and not what God would want for you.
