Why is it bad to be gay but okay to be a glutton of food?

Question

Maybe because one is more popular than the other?

Why does no one ever seem to bring up the SIN of GLUTTONY in a NATION of GLUTTONS who EAT over half of the worlds resources (approx)?

Seems to me like "Gobble Gobble" might just be a sin any way you look at it...pun TOTALLY intended.

Anyone see gluttony as worse than being gay? Gluttony kills, you know.

I think the flaws in both of these are rather comparable, to be honest. It makes you sick, it can kill you, it make you less likely to get the job, it is based on emotional issues with feeling uncomfortable about this or that...

So why the imbalance of the scales that lean toward the gay and let the glutton be accepted?

(I don't hate gays at all, I'm just making a point. And I don't hate gluttons, either. But I DESPISE GLUTTONY in AMERICA with FOOD. It is sooo wrongly accepted.)

Answer 1

Why do you have to zero it down to America? What about pornography or merely looking at another woman or man lustfully? What about talking bad about other people behind their backs? I can tell you now that those sins are committed all over the world, among the gluttons and starving people of Africa.



It is wrong to be a glutton, and yet Christ died so the glutton would be forgiven. It is wrong to be gay, and Christ died so that the gay person would be forgiven and so that they may turn from evil. It is wrong to lust and gossip about others and yet Christ died so that they too would be saved.



You see, the world is screwed up! And that's why Christ came, to save you and all people. And now that we are saved by Christ, with the help of God we must turn away from evil. We will fail, but Christ is constantly bringing us back to him through his Word.

Answer 2

Luke 6:37

New International Version (©1984)

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.



Let us be careful not to compare one mans sin to that of another:



Romans 3:23

New International Version (©1984)

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,



There are sins that lead to death, this is true, but there is a spiritual death that is being spoken of as well as a physical death. If you try to interpret death as always being physical, you will find an endless progression of sins that you should not commit, because everything you do with your body brings it just a little bit closer to physical death, where as if you accept the gospel of God's grace through the forgiveness of sins, you will find room for error on your way towards perfection. If we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive them by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, who took the penalty of the sins of all who believe in Him.



I am not saying that gluttony is good, either, I am saying that there are some who struggle with it who are making progress toward righteousness, and who are we to judge another when there are sins that we have committed ourselves? It is good to mention gluttony only if you are filled with love for the person you are trying to help with a correction, but to sit in judgment over sin is a sin itself, and therefore a person who does this can find himself out to be a hypocrite.



1 Corinthians 4:5

New International Version (©1984)

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

Answer 3

The reason that religions opposes homosexuality is because if someone isn't having straight sex then they can't make the next generation of loyal devoted followers.
