Featured Does this disqualify a man to be pastor?

I see he still needs a comb-over even with a vegan eating philosophy. Who knew?

 

Yes. Veganism is an anti-biblical philosophy. It's not about eating plants, it's about the emancipation of beasts from the dominion of man.

 

There are medical factors that contribute to weight. As an ole skinny preacher preaching on the sin of gluttony said, "I have never seen a fat man leave a concentration camp."

We could make the same excuse about sexual sin. "My testosterone is 1100. Etc. ."

 

Biblically speaking, gluttony isn't mere excess of food, it's more a fixation on taste. (Excess is more akin to drunkenness than gluttony.) The 'patient's' aunt mentioned in The Screwtape Letters, consumed moderate portions, but they had to be cooked and prepared 'just so' or she wouldn't have it.

 

I'm the food prepper in the family and I aim to make our food delicious as well as healthful. I suppose I could start serving them Spartan gruel but it ain't gonna happen unless circumstances demand it.

 

LOL. I'm not saying food shouldn't be tasty. I should have said an inordinate fixation on taste, like an inordinate desire for sensation.
