“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” James 5:16

Do not mix or confuse righteous living with salvation which is the free gift of God.

As far as alcohol is concerned, Jesus turned the water into wine... and yet taught against ANY excess.... not just alcohol.

Gluttony is a sin too... so how fat do you have to be before your salvation is in question?

Righteous living empowers your prayer life.

Addiction is addiction... regardless of how much it takes to get your “fix”.

You guys are good ... but not THAT good.

NO where did I even come close to implying anything about salvation.

But if you want to play switcho-change-o ... WHY was Jesus baptized ?

You bring up a good point regarding overweight believers.

On the contrary, what blood sugar level would be considered sinful?

Many with either too low or too high of blood sugar levels tend to lose their patience and are moody. Is it sinful? Known sin or an unknown sin?

Could apply to diabetics. Even the thin ones.
