Does this disqualify a man to be pastor?

[CONSPICILLUM]

He seemed pretty happy posing at that church last week, or is that a smirk?

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

IT IS JUST MY OPINION (But you know I am right)
Any preacher, pastor, evangelist, who is a vegan should quit the ministry. I have known those who do not eat meat or animal products such as eggs and cheese. They always look hungry and ill. They will not eat meat but they will eat veggies. Remember, the veggies that they eat are probably fertilized with the poop of an animal. Think about that.
What should you do if you find out your pastor is a vegan? Simple. Find another church. This is just my opinion, but you know I am right

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.

The most gluttonous individuals I’ve ever known aren’t fat. They eat and don’t have a weight issue because of their genetics, age, and metabolism, etc. And though many who are overweight may be gluttonous, it’s far more often because of the inverse of the same issues.

I was slim and couldn’t gain weight beyond a certain maximum for decades and was a huge glutton. I curbed that with a lifestyle of biblical fasting (recommended). Now that I’m older, I’m on an OMAD (one meal a day) plan with specific content. I’m heavier than I’ve ever been.

Just don’t leave all the skinny folks out when addressing gluttony. It’s a universal issue of the lust of the flesh.

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.
