Yes. He does.
That is what decades of living in SIN will do to a person.
I realize people like Bob and others don't want to hear that, but it does not take long to prove and show the point. Go find some people who live on illegal drugs daily for a few years and see how they look. Or some addicts to alcohol. Take your pick of doing things to one's body that God created and gave you to take care of over time that are wrong, harmful, sinful, and your outward physical appearance will clearly show that abuse, as will your inward soul.. Jesus said it like this: "You worshipped the creature rather than the Creator." He also said to "Not let sin REIGN in your mortal bodies".
That word REIGN means have complete dominance and control over you.
It's sad what Bill Clinton became. A prime example of someone who was blessed by God with an exceptional mind, who used it for evil and sinful lusts, and it has shown its ravages on the body even as Christ said it would..
He could hae been a really great person had he chosen to use that talent for GOOD instead of evil..
Sad to see.
Sorry for the obvious lesson on the teachings of Christ this immediately brought to my mind. I am studying again the four Gospels in a different way this time and gleaning some more truths I did not see before. I am curently reading and studying LUKE's gospel. He also wrote the book of Acts. Such a rich book with teachings and Words from GOD the SON that are as true today and to be followed today as they were when HE taught on them.
LAst word.
Jesus HIMSELF SAID this to EVERYONE. "
IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS That means not only the TEN HE gave to us written by HIS own finger on a stone tablet, but ALL HIS instructions as HE gave them to the prophets which were written down and recorded and given to all the people..
One cannot claim to LOVE CHrist and DO things that are opposite and contrary to WHAT HE SAID. The two do not add up...
End of sermon. Apologies...
