The word "glutton" is found twice in the KJV. Deuteronomy 21:20 "And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard." Proverbs 23:21 "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags." Similarly, the word "gluttonous" is found twice in the KJV. One in the gospel according to Matthew and restated in Gospel of Luke. Both are quoting Jesus. Matthew 11:18 "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. (19) The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children." Luke 7:34 (33) For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. (34) The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! (35) But wisdom is justified of all her children. The Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Gluttony, Wrath , Greed, Sloth, Envy, Pride) The "Seven Deadly Sins" termed as such, are nowhere to be found in any bible. They as a list are not an original part of the teachings of the Christ, although the sins themselves are individually mentioned in The Bible. The idea of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is speculated to have been composed by the Church of England as a way of having tighter control over the peasant population of medieval Britain. However in the King James Bible a list of 7 sins, called abominations are listed in Proverbs. Proverbs 6, 16-19 (16) These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: (17) A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, (18) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, (19) A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. also in Galatians 5:19-21 a list of sins appears... (19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

How many sets of twins found in Bible history?

There are two set's of twins mentioned in the bible and I'm sure this has been answered before. We have Esau and Jacob, and Tamar's twins Zeresh and Pharez. However, there is sketchy talk of Thomas (a disciple of Jesus) being a twin for the meaning of his name. there is also talk of Joseph's sons being twins but i doubt it for scripture would have said so.

What are the main seven capital sins?

The 7 Deadly Sins are as follows: 1.Pride: To avoid this one, practice humbility. Don't be full of yourself or self-centered. 2.Greed: Wanting of material objects or status, and not appreciating what you have. 3.Lust: Being...horny. At least, doing in an excessive way. 4.Envy: Much similar to Greed, except it's more about people, ambitions. 5.Sloth: Some might interpret this as lazing around all day. However, I believe it goes far deeper than that. Wasting your life, your talents on useless things, such as videogames and such, can be regarded as sloth. 6.Gluttony: Eating. Think America. 7.Anger/Wrath: This one speaks for itself. Take a chill pill.
