:::::::Does Jesus ever condemn enjoyment of food? He performed his first miracle at a feast, he told parables where people celebrate by feasting (eg prodigal son), he miraculously fed thousands of people at a time, and he even made communal eating the basis of the Eucharist, which is central to the Christian faith. He was not an ascetic.
:::::::Overweight or not (and probably not), the fact that Jesus was able to shrug off accusations of gluttony without particularly addressing them shows that He didn't consider it a serious accusation. Compare the treatment he gave accusations of not honouring the Sabbath, for example.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 11:13, 12 August 2011 (EDT)
::::::::Conservative, there's a difference between gluttony and being overweight. The former is defined as excessive eating and drinking, and obesity doesn't need to result from that. CPalmer makes the point very well. These "essays" are un-Christian in the extreme. [[User:RobertE|RobertE]] 08:20, 13 August 2011 (EDT)
