MM, when I used the word someone, it was not meant to be aimed at anyone here specifically. I did NOT intend for you to take it personally. "someone as in general speaking" I have no idea whether you specifically drink coffee or not, nor do I care.  What you eat or drink is up to you.  The whole thread itself is about nitpicking on minor things that really have no bearing on others.  The pastor's health issue, is no concern of ours.  And that is what I was responding to.  When we as people, Christian or not, in general see little things in others such as the pastor's weight without hearing his side of the story and having all the facts, it amounts to unjustified judgment, and gossip and being a busy body.

In Luke 18 Jesus gave the example of how the pharisee, even though he, himself had not committed gross sins, it did not give him the right to dish out unjustified condemnation against the tax collector.   That is my point in posting two scriptures.   My apologies, for wording my post in such a way, that it could be misunderstood.

I definitely did not take it personally. You took my post the wrong way. No apologies are necessary.

It's not just gluttony related to food. It's also gluttony related to money. The pastors at the large church are constantly goading and pushing for more and more donations. They are becoming desperate and they are starting to embarrass themselves in more ways than one. I can see where this is all headed. They are probably in the red now and don't want to admit it so they just push harder and harder for donations without admitting to it.

Naw, he would be too concerned that you would use it to bake some extra fries!
