As an Evangelical Christian, the Bible teaches us that our bodies are the temple of God and we are called to take care of them. Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and make wise choices when it comes to our diet. However, the Bible does not specifically condemn the consumption of fattening foods.
In the Old Testament, there were dietary laws that prohibited the consumption of certain foods, but these laws were fulfilled in Christ and no longer apply to Christians today. In the New Testament, Jesus himself declared that it is not what goes into our mouths that defiles us, but what comes out of our hearts (Matthew 15:11).
That being said, it is still important to maintain a balanced and healthy diet. Eating too much of anything, even healthy foods, can lead to health issues and obesity. Gluttony and overindulgence are also condemned in the Bible, as they can lead to idolatry and a lack of self-control.
Ultimately, it is up to the individual to make wise choices when it comes to their diet. We should strive to honor God with our bodies and our choices, and seek to maintain a healthy balance in all aspects of our lives.
