Second why do you bring up smoking and obesity at all? The conversation was in regard to the millennium views of Spurgeon, or are you taking a jab at me? If so I don't appreciate it at all.
I brought it up for the reasons I clearly stated in my post, which you might go back and reread, not to "take a jab" at you. I have no idea what your condition is with respect to weight or smoking, and I shared with you the Lord's dealing with me in this area.
If your conscience is bothering you because you have a weight problem however, as your brother in Christ it would be an act of love to confront you with it not only because it is sin, if it is indeed obiesity, but also because the health effects are well established.
Perhaps you might find interesting Jay Adams' (a legalistic pharisee of some repute) writings on the relationship between sickness and sin in his Competent to Counsel. I found it most interesting and beneficial reading.
In Him,
Gerry
