Where is this scripture found?"Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags." The context defines the word very well.

Go look up zalal.Well, with everyone making up their own religion and not giving a care about reason or scripture, you might as well join in.

I don't think so!
Where is this scripture found?
Do you have any scripture to back this up? That is really what I'm looking for.
How so?Then you are going to have a problem with what God says my friend!
Explain please!You are kidding me, right?
Yes, I have. Why are you judging me?If you are going to ask so many questions I would think that you would look up in the Bible for some answers before doing so on an internet site.
Not my friend, but I do use it a lot.Google is your best friend.
Or dolce bags with manolo stilettos. The only thing we should be a glutton to is the word of God.Gluttony is "overindulgence", or the unhealthy or excessive interest in a particular class of items.
It is typically used to describe over eating, but as C S Lewis spoke about, also applies to excessive behaviors in luxury, dress, type of food, or any other thing that can be subject to excessive use.
In other words, a rich housewife who refuses to wear anything other than Gucci is just as much a glutton as the one wolfing down 50 pancakes.
You contradict what you said about my having a problem with what God says.Glenn.....these are easily found in the Bible my brother. Do you have a Bible?
Deut. 21:20
"And they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard'".
Prov. 28:7
The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father" (Proverbs 28:7).
Matt. 11:19
"The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds" .
Titus 1:12
"One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons'".
No we should not!Or dolce bags with manolo stilettos. The only thing we should be a glutton to is the word of God.
Explain please!
Yes, I have. Why are you judging me?
Not my friend, but I do use it a lot.
You contradict what you said about my having a problem with what God says.
What are some things that the Bible says about how we should eat?
Well if you describe it that way, I guess so. I was thinking glutton meant to eat a lot or do something a lot.No we should not!
That means to take it into ourselves and then waste it without works that do good to others.
No, no no!
It was not a question. You said, and I quote, "I would think that you would look up in the Bible for some answers before doing so on an internet site." You are saying that I have done no research. I have gathered almost 300 verses on the things I am looking for. You would be amazed at theAs I said, you seem to ask a lot of simple questions that are easily found. I just wondered out loud why.
Why is asking you that "judging you". It was only an observation not a condemnation.
It's a contradiction to you saying "Then you are going to have a problem with what God says my friend!" when I say these verses exist. You contradicted yourself.Not so! You asked for Bible verse and I gave them to you. How is that a contradiction?
You asked I gave!!
The point of the thread is just what I asked for. Verses dealing with our diet. I did not create it to create a discussion on gluttony.Glenn, what was the point of this thread? Did you just want to discuss gluttony? If so, why didn't you just say that?
I know, that is why we have to retrain ourselves to think within the context of glutton (zalal) that the OT uses.Well if you describe it that way, I guess so. I was thinking glutton meant to eat a lot or do something a lot.
It seems like you did. If you have the answers already I'm not sure why you made the thread.The point of the thread is just what I asked for. Verses dealing with our diet. I did not create it to create a discussion on gluttony.
