I have a Christian acquaintance of many years who is morbidly obese at the very high end of the
spectrum. No quasi-medical justification (hormones, glands, depression, etc.)
can fully account for her inability to lose weight. While there are certainly
other factors involved, one is surely the consumption of large quantities of superfluous calories.
It is well established
in scripture that gluttony is a
sin, like
any other out-of-control behavior. While obesity and gluttony are not synonymous (one can be thin and voraciously gluttonous), it is hard to argue that the inability to say no
is normal, healthy Christian behavior.
My simple question: is she saved?
