    Is being fat a sin?

    My husband and I were just discussing how, after having our second child, I've put on a little weight. He brought up the point of 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "What know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you which ye have of God and ye are not your." and 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you If any man defile the temple of God him shall God destroy; for." We came to the conclusion that since those scriptures tell us that God dwells within us and that we must Glorify him with our bodies. Does this mean that my being 20 pounds heavier is a slap in the face to God? We discussed exercise regiments but many of them are seemingly Satanic with their scantily clad women moving about in an erotic fashion and the men prancing about like flaming fairies. I don't know what to do. Hopefully, one of my brothers and sisters in Christ can put me on the right path. I don' want to go to Hell for being fat.

    Re: Is being fat a sin?

    You are not working hard enough. My wife, Mrs. Hutchins, has not an ounce of weight on her.
    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

      Re: Is being fat a sin?

      I have no unnecessary fat on my body, of course, because I am a True Christian woman of faith, richly blessed by my Heavenly Father (Psalm 37:4). But there are some truly faithful exercises you can do to stop offending your husband without fear of offending the LORD:





      Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

        Please be mindful that your husband's intentions and wishes for your body should not be based in lust.

          If you have a problem with something her husband is (or is not) doing, why are you bothering her about it?

          You don't expect her to go correcting her husband, do you?

            I most certainly do. Were I married and my wife to present herself sinful in the eyes of God, I would do my best to set her in the right path.

            If my wife were to tell me that I require washboard abs, and use religion as a reason for why, I would not be concerned with whether or not having a slim figure is a sin, but rather what my spouse's intentions truly are.

            With this ambiguity involved, and thus a chance of participating in sinful activity, I am simply advocating something I think she should think about as a follower of Christ.

              A True Christian™ man is the head of the household. A True Christian™ woman is not. The direction of correction isn't from the subservient to the master.

              As a follower of Christ, a True Christian™ woman would recognize that God speaks to the head of the house (Ephesians 5:23). Her contribution would be worse than living the life of a hermit (Proverbs 21:19).

                So, and please do correct me if I'm wrong (as further enlightenment to becoming a True Christian is why I'm here), my example would be perfectly fine as my gender places me as the head of the house, and yet in your case, or the reverse, it is wrong?

                I may tell my wife to lose weight because her grotesque body disgusts me because God speaks to me, and my wife cannot question it?

                  Why do these people ask such silly questions? What did their fathers do in their homes?

                  Apart from God not speaking to you because you are unsaved trash, you are her superior and if you like her plump then she should be plump and vice versa.

                          May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

                              After another discussion with my husband, he has decided that 130 lbs is okay but no more than that so I better not go gaining anymore weight or I'll be meeting the business side of his belt. Praise the Lord! He did stipulate that I must regain some tightness in my abdominal region so I thank the good sister for setting me on the path to such. I tried to be more active while I was pregnant with Joachim. I stopped scrubbing the floors by hand after delivery but I am going to start doing that again. Thank you all for your input and I hope you have a very blessed evening, if the good Lord sees fit, that is.
