Extremely over-weight / obese preachers and pastors?!


Question: Do you think being physically over-weight by more than 40 plus pounds is acceptable to God and keeping fit his "temple" as he claims our bodies are?

One thing that bothers me is when a pastor of preacher is grossly over-weight and they are teaching on things about the scriptures when they should be teaching on physical fitness and proper dieting.

I recently saw a video online of a preacher who was preaching on fasting and going on a 40 day fast and he was grossly over-weight. I would think that instead of a 40 day fast you should talk about a 40 day trash....meaning to take 40 days and throw out the trash in your diet and commit to eating better and more healthy. Anyway just a pet peeve...what do you all think?

You would be overweight too if you had fired chicken every Sunday..

God loves everybody.

thats very stupid of you.
did you ever think that maybe it was genes or he was just incapable of losing weight?
not every fat person is lazy.

Some people are overweight because of their poor eating habits. Others are overweight because of health issues, genes, thyroid, or whatever. Rather than judge by the person's weight, it would be better to judge by their habits. Also, we are all on a journey. Some people had horrible eating habits, but are progressively improving. Some people who were 100 pounds overweight are now only 40 pounds overweight.
As far as a 40 day fast is concerned, I definitely don't recommend it, especially for an overweight person. But neither do I recommend judging them. Especially if one is judging them in order to avoid looking at his one problems.

Hi,

I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss (it's actually a colon cleanse) and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it's 100% natural). The results were excellent. I lost about 20 pounds in 2 months with this detox. That's why I recommend you check this product at
http://free-thin-diet.us where they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!

Since I started to work out I was looking for a good weight loss product (I only wanted something 100% natural). I was on a diet but I felt that I needed a little "help" so I decided to try this great detoxification colon cleanse and I had fantastic results. You can check their website at
http://be-thin.us , they give you a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling.
