If someone were to preach that bad eyesight is caused by self-gratification and you wear glasses, would you just think nothing of it since that's not why you have bad eyes? Or would you think that the non-eyeglass wearing people are looking at you and judging you?
And that's a good reason to wear contacts.....LOL!
Sin is sin, yes, but to bring in someone's physical appearance and speaking of the sin that might have caused it would be damaging to someone who has that condition without the sin involvement.

thats why the message is for the hearer for their own benefit. We shouldnt sit around and point out others we think the message applies to.
and if someone preached the glasses thing...well, consider the source, seriously, that's just ludicrious.
But the message I heard that talked about us taking care of our bodies, was so well delivered and timely...it didnt say fat people are sinners. It said anyone who doesnt take care of them selves physically and in their appearance, is not doing what God requires of us.
She even talked about going out of the house with a deliberate ratty, unkempt appearance. Not someone who might be messy from work or something (LR DONT YELL AT ME I"M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU"VE BEEN WORKING IN YOUR YARD) But those that look like they just rolled outta bed and didnt do anything to themselves....long stringy unkept hair...you know the type.
It was great! I appreciated her having the courage to preach the message
