@gnu2 well w/e ou wanna say, i don't care, i'm not Christ i'm a Christian and fat blobs that are immobile becuase they're so fat, are wastes of space, "i can't walk becuase i'm literally too fat" that's not good, God doesn't say that's ok either, gluttony is a sin.

"This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35
As believers we have a duty to love. In the 21st century more people turn from the gospel because of Christians who are mean than any other reason, at least in the West.
Calling out the sins of other believers I think is an act of love. If this lady was a Christian neighbor of yours, then it MIGHT be appropriate to address gluttony with her. But as a picture of someone you don't know on the internet its is harmful to our mission of making disciples of all nations to speak ill of her. Particularly for someone who so publicly advertises himself as a Christian.

@gnu2 the word love in hte bible is almost always refering to the greek word AGAPE which means to will for another persons good, as in if they're afat blob, you want htem to lose weight and become healthy because being a fat blob is not in any sense of hte word healthy, love in the bible is almost never refering to warm fuzzy feelings, it does refer to kindness and i'm not a perfect person and i have plenty of anger, God is working on me, but the natural feeling towards someone so fat is disgust. the only concession i'll give you is that i shouldn't be angry and mean, and should just pray for them in private, but i am a saved believer in Christ and i'll hear no one say i ain't.

@Zealist correct, and if you knew her and addressed it with grace that would be agape love. Mocking a nobody isn't helpful. By no means was I attempting to say were not a Christian. I believe that in this life that can only truly be known by you and Christ. Please let me know if you felt like you were being accused of such so that i can take it to the prayer closet. I don't know you well, but we've been "friends" on the 'verse long enough for me to think it was appropriate to try to love you in a Christ-like way. I'm certain I have a log in my eye that I can't see for the spec in yours, so please do me likewise in the future.
