Re: What does believing ______ profit?

What does believing against gluttony profit?

It is biblical to believe against gluttony. It is personally profitable for me not to be a glutton. It is healthy and good.

What this does not do is give me a right to judge others, tell others they are in or out of the kingdom over it. Tell people they are going to hell for being a glutton and build a church "against gluttony". Wrong focus.

But it is profitable to believe against gluttony and practice it against it myself.

These principles apply to many things. Take them and apply.
