Seven Deadly Sins - Gluttony
Source: Jupiter Images
Gluttony is an excessive and ongoing eating of food or drink.
1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you
do, do all to the glory of God.”
Additional Bible references include: Psalm 78:17-19, Philippians 3:19-20,
Proverbs 23:1-3, Proverbs 23:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.
Gluttony is overindulgence and overconsumption to the point of waste. It’s
commonly associated with eating. St. Thomas Aquinas took his criticism of
gluttony to another level by breaking down various ways it can be committed. Do
you like expensive food? Glutton. Do you look forward to your meals? Glutton.
Anyone else feeling attacked?
Temperance cures gluttony by implanting the desire to be healthy, therefore
making one fit to serve others.
THEIR PUNISHMENT: -
The Gluttonous--those guilty of the sin of gluttony--will be punished in hell by being force fed.
