They are only observations JD, I was misguidedly
thinking that the immersion had been having an effect :) But
let's face it - When we come to Jesus we are all a mess
and we remain a work in progress for a long time after that.
The goal of the instruction is love from a PURE heart
and unfeigned love of the brethren which does not happen
overnight - and yes the condition of the heart is the
deciding factor because a person with a pure heart will also
have a sanctified mouth and we all know what kind of
strife the tongue can kindle.... jt

Please read my questions below and give an answer. Your personal judgments about me are no answer to my questions. Additionally, are some gluttons saved and others lost because of "attitude of heart?" Are you saying that it is the condition of the heart rather than mere "sin" that God looks to?Why was I naive enough to think you were asking an honest question JD; I should have known I was beingset up and that you had this hidden agenda... Who said a "glutton" is saved and a "confessing pervert" lost??Certainly not me. What both Terry and I said is that all fat ppl are not gluttons. Read the scriptures and youwill find that gluttony and drunkenness and surfeiting are an attitude of the heart. It is walking after the flesh.If you want to go around judging every fat person - then that is another area of sin.As for my beliefs - you know nothing about them. What you think you know stems from your bad experiences inthe past which you equate with legalism, works faith and some such convoluted system; these are your issues JD.They have nothing at all to do with me. jtOn Sun, 15 May 2005 12:08:41 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:For the most part, we are fat because we consume too many calories. Call it gluttony; call it over-eating. It damages the "temple of God." Why is this person "saved" and the confessing "pervert" lost? Sins of omission will send us to hell, under your gospel. How many minutes can I sit watching TV while not, at the same time, preaching to the lost? I collect 1:18 model cars. I just spent $250 on a 1955 Mercedes with something like 3600 individual parts ----- going to hell until I repent, take the car back and give the money to the local church or a needy ministry or a needy person?As Terry said - all fat ppl are not gluttons but if you are concerned or interested here's a Bible Study:Gluttony & Drunkenness seem to go together like siamese twins (as an attitude of the heart) and under the OldCovenant they they were cause for a rebellious son who would not listen to be stoned (Deuteronomy 21:20)These two are also mentioned in tandem in Proverbs 23:20Isaiah 5:21,22Luke 21:34,35Romans 13:13,14Ephesians 5:18,19On Sun, 15 May 2005 10:56:15 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Is gluttony a sin?

Just as with a rich man, all things are possible in Christ.
