A starting point for a study on the topic of GLUTTONY
All you need to do is quickly look at the verses! Even if you don't do an in-depth study, it will be obvious that gluttony is not a form of righteous conduct. But how much worse it is, when we participate with others in such conduct, and call it "Christian fellowship"!
DEFINITION: The habitual eating to excess.
A lifestyle of gluttony reflects an attitude of the heart - a spiritual condition. Because of this, it will be natural for gluttony to be associated with other sins. Some of the verses listed below illustrate this fact.
The word "gluttony" (or something equivalent) is found in these verses (in most translations):
Deuteronomy 21:20
THE FOLLOWING LISTS FOCUS ON THE CONCEPT OF "GLUTTONY," EVEN THOUGH THE WORD ITSELF MIGHT NOT BE FOUND IN ALL OF THE VERSES MENTIONED:
