offended me? Now how in the world would I have eleven thousand posts on this forum and be offended by as innocuous a thread as this?
As forum dust ups go, this one hardly has anything in it worthy of being considered offensive! LOL!
No you didnt offend me. You didnt even come close.

I don't have anyone in mind - - what I'm saying is this same conversation has been hashed out before between a different group of posters - - it didn't seem to be an issue then.
I can't speak for the previous posters. I think some of us are just trying to get to the bottom of this. Is it a genuine interest in wanting to preach more about gluttony, or yet another snide attempt at poking fun of Apostolics, namely the stereotype about waistlines.
Secondly, the original poster himself has declared this to be a grand experiment (for his social science class presumably since school is almost out).
I've seen many threads repeated over and over in different ways.

I think you're right. Again!!!!!!

I started this thread simply for my enertainment. If that offends anyone I am sorry. For the one of you that got caught up in it dont blame that on me, it might be time to look in the mirror. I have also learned a lot about 2020 , man what a temper and then he resorts to name calling. I am deeply hurt and may never see Apostolics the same. And a grand experiment you need to practice up on your discernment skills I said for my enertainment.

Ditto. Not to say I haven't made certain judgements for future interaction with this poster.
Here's a thread where this has been discussed before -- interesting posts there.
Attitudes are a bit different because of who asked the question. Doesn't seem to be an attempt to paint them as only trying to discredit Apostolics for not being consistent. All I've been trying to say is the attitudes shown on this thread seem to have been thwarted because of some unknowns posting. Not saying it's right or wrong - just trying to make some sense of it all.
deeply hurt? Never see Apostolics the same? Can even be serious?
No, I'm blunt and straight with my words. You and some others prefer to play the game. Name calling? Perhaps evidence would help. You ACTED and were BEING as one ignorant and immature. I don't think anyone got "caught up" in anything. This was a fairly typical post like many others on here. If it exacerbates your pleasure and entertainment senses, we'll let you believe that.
aak1972....I am not offended by your cause for this thread....I have had some interesting discussion. But I definitely will think twice before reading or answering you or another of your threads.
I think the difference might be that this thread started out with a different premise. The other was more about overeating being gluttony. This one seemed to be about preachers not preaching that it's as sinful to overeat as it is to smoke. Although neither argument has a scripture for it in black and white, as some claim. Gluttony does not refer to only over indulgence in food.

if it makes you feel better to say that, lay on.... im not offended by the statement.
and it does nothing to the reality that this thread isnt about smoking or gluttany.
its about proving hypocracy in those who are doing their best to live holy lives.
That is exactly how it reads to me.
I'm glad I am not the only one who sees it.
There is a deeply ingrained hostility toward holiness, strong new birth people here.
It didn't used to be that way, but it is now.
Vitriolic and venomous is how I would describe it.
But it's ok. I understand exactly why.
