Are obese men qualified to be pastors?

Deleted lest this be misconstrued in light of a recent PM I sent. I'll post it again later.

Eli was also very perceptive. Especially when Moses was a child.

And keep in mind that often God uses people in spite of themselves ... In fact, all of us have problems but God uses us. That is not an excuse to say the problems are alright. It does not excuse us from the obligation to be biblical in our choices. It simply underlines the nature of Grace. It does not give us an excuse to flaunt grace.

I believe that after 9 pages Pastor Larry has posted an excellent stopping point to this subject. I agree totally with what he has said and I hope that all who are still interested in this topic will accept and apply his post to their lives as well as to how they view others.
I feel Larry's words lead to a greater good coming from this thread. Thanks Larry and all who have posted.
