What is homosexuality?

When a man lies with a man as if the if the man were a woman.

But in general anytime a man or woman echanges the natural relationship between a man and woman it is sinful. Why? Jesus said because God created man and woman to becone one. In other words, God did not create a man for a man or a woman fir a woman. You can accept Jesus' teachings or not.

It's in the OT as being equated to drunkardness as I pointed out to you with scripture; you are now just hiding behind this bluster that it is not specifically called out in the NT.

You are very keen to attack and accuse other here but I suspect you yourself are overindulging in food and you should look to how God equates this. Gluttony, drunkardness, homosexuality...

You see the word gluttony, but not the definition. You define it as being fat.

I've seen it described as volume of eating. Where in the Bible does it simply mean fat?

Just to be clear, I support the idea that gluttony means over-eating.
Fat is a different matter.

No, I am not skinny, but I am healthy enough. Blood pressure without meds 125/75 yesterday.

Body size is mostly genetic, so is strength.

Are offensive linemen in the NFL gluttons?

Overeating. Is there another one?

Define overeating.

Is it to the point of feeling full?

Is it a sliding scale based on metaolism?

Gluttony (Latin: gula), derived from the Latin gluttire meaning to gulp down or swallow, means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items.

What defines overindulgence?

Eating so much you throw up?

Common sense. If someone is routinely overindulging eating food then that person is going to get bigger and bigger.

Michael Phelps ate 12,000 calories per day while training for the Olympics. Yet his body was in perfect condition.

Is that gluttony? Or does a person's lifestyle need to be considered as well?
