Daren Ventrice: Gambling is actually a religious tradition. In the old testament, if a priest couldn't find a scripture that directly made a legal decision for them, they would use divination, one form of which came as casting lots. The ancient Hebrews felt that Yahweh manifested his will through chance at times.
Alvaro Oare: ...yes or no.and why.
Ronnie Sardi: Seriously, when I first left my hell fire religion, I was terrified. I found there were people who believe in God who didn't think He was scary.I prayed and switched allegiance to a kind and gentle God. It got me through the anxiety of leaving so much behind.It took a couple more years before I made myself strong enough to admit it was all a hoax and leave fear and guilt behind....Show more
Dorethea Beaston: Forget the Crew of the Enterprise, they already had probs with Q and he's harmless compared to the christian god.But from a funny book I read I can tell you that archangel Michel meanwhile ! figured, that he supported the wrong side, I'm sure he will hand us over his flamesword. @Peter: may I ask you what you ate before that attack? Must have been many garlic in it....Show more
Misty Vagle: God is not testing us, but maturing those who love him to be stronger in the faith. Life as a Christian in this life is like basic training in the Army. We are learning, growing, and getting stronger in our faith through the trials that we endure here.As Christians, we are like metal, but we are placed into the fire (forge) and heated to a red hot temperature and then formed/molded by God into the form that he desires. The fire makes use stronger and causes us to be conformed to his will for our lives. Philippians 1:4-8In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ J! esus....Show more
Newton Fedorko: You are right, God doe! s know what we will do. The reason He tests us to refine us, into becoming more like Him. It is for His glory and our good.
Lupe Sancen: Gambling can be something relaxing to pass time causally. It isn't anything bad itself, but when you repeatedly go and lose money then it is a problem. Asking for forgiveness on Sunday won't do much for you.. Just go to the core of your mind and keep telling yourself it's a machine that is programmed to make you lose countless of times over the fact you will actually win. Another way is to make yourself busy with OTHER activities instead. Any hobbies you enjoy? Particular place you want to go too? Good luck :)...Show more
Caryl Mclaen: He tests us to see what our choices will be. He tests us to see that no matter what happens we will choose Him or not. See the Book of Job for an example. While it's true God already knew Job's heart towards Him, He allowed satan to test Job to prove to satan that there's nothing that can sepa! rate a true believer from God.
Elva Batie: yes and no.I believe in spirits, but these are extra dimensional; not extra-terrestrial.http://www.google.com/search?q=samples%2Cufos&tbo=...
Kris Otuafi: As I think someone else pointed out look at Genesis 6:6. That's further proof he doesn't already know everything. lol For the sake of christians I'm hoping the bible originally said grieving as opposed to repenting. lol
Abel Adger: I'm not a Christian, but seeing as my answer won't prevent a Christian from answering, I'll answer anyway...Honestly, even I don't "believe" in aliens. The whole, "there has to be, the universe is so big! What are the chances there are NOT?" argument is cute and all, but there is no evidence to back it up. When I see it, I'll believe it....Show more
Chris Rosenkranz: Peter L: That's cool, but wouldn't you rather have an anti-mugging shirt, like I do? I haven't been mugged since I started wearing it, so clearly, it prevents mug! gings!I'll sell you one. I have a whole closetful.
Ofelia Kieck:! Repentance means you stop and die to that old behavior. In other words, you don't gamble any more.
Jose Bouliouris: You are assuming that all tests are from God. Sometimes "stuff" just happens.
Donte Schoenhals: No, but I'm open to the possibility. Althought you could consider spirits to be alien life forms seeing as God and the angels are not from the Earth.The reason why I don't believe in alien life forms is because there is zero evidence. We haven't found any sings of intelligent life anywhere in the universe. We haven't even found any evidence of cellular life anywhere else in the universe.edit: At least with the Bible there is evidence that many of the events actually happened and evidence that the people existed. There is zero evidence that alien life exists. Big difference. There is also no empirical evidence that the universe and life came into existence without any intervention. So atheists aren't in a position to claim that they are correct.! ...Show more
Monica Voltin: You become stronger as a person. Learn to rely on God more. Get more established in one's beliefs. You may flunk the test, but there's always another day, and one learns more from the experience, whether one passes or fails.
Delphine Cajka: Gambling itself is not a sin. It is the addiction to gambling that is the sin, and you would be best to avoid the temptation by not going to those places in the first place.
Craig Virani: It's not a sin to gamble. You can also start playing more skill-oriented games and use your time to study and examine statistics. I used to be addicted to gambling at the casino, where you will always lose your money since there is a house advantage or rake to every game.Try out something like FanDuel and really study the lineups/stats beforehand and you can swing the odds in your favor even though there is a rake there too. The difference is, there is also a lot of foolish people on the site who don't kno! w jack about sports and just there to spend money.https://www.fanduel.c! om/?invitedby=calewells&cnl=d......Show more
Cletus Crotts: All good options. Personally, I'd go with the Jedi. Or ninjas.
Lynn Mctier: Your right he allows us to be tested but he does not test us. We have free will.
Ty Kirton: Forgiveness requires repentance. That means you change starting at heart level.
Beau Starcevic: Very soon you'll be hiring your mind. It's a big job. You'll be paying it overtime.
Mahalia Brindle: As long as we pay them in imaginary money, why not hire all of them?Add the Justice League and the Avengers in there for added protection too.
Coleen Carignan: I'm thinking either the G.I. Joes, Ghostbusters, or the crew of the Starship Enterprise...
Joie Kemmis: The is no higher power than God, so it's better to be on His side.Some muggers tried to get me the other day and I just said, " I rebuke you Satan, in the name of Jesus ". Two fell down paralysed to the ground and the rest ran for their lives.
Georg! ianna Zollo: Yes, God is infinite, his creation is infinite (as scientists are finding out with multiverse theories), so there will be infinite alien civilisations. Exciting eh?!EDIT: Our universe? Not sure, take a look at the Drake Equation. We need to find out how easy it is for abiogenesis to occur before we can really get a reasonable probability on the matterAs for evidence for the existence of God, I have no desire to convince you of his existence, I make no assertion I am just giving my opinion as requested....Show more
Ronny Nowzari: Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Heb 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice, Heb 3:8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, Heb 3:9 where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for ! forty years. Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Chr! ist, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. Jas 1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, Jas 1:3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness....Show more
Margart Stimpert: How about Chuck Norris? The irony alone would be worth it.
Alane Antes: aint it a shame to go gambling on a Sunday aint it a shame when you got Monday today Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday aint it a shame - ledbelly
Kassie Kay: "Thou shalt not gamble" doesn't show up in my Bible. (SRV or King James))
Pearlie Medora: I don't think he's testing anyone but that is what many Christians have told me he is doing.
Nannie Kasee: There may be intelligent life on other planetsâ€"but if so, the Bible doesn't mention it. If there is, it is because God put them there (just as He put us here), and their purpose is to glorify and serve God (just as ours is).While it's interesting to speculate about life on other plan! ets, it's important to remember that God is everywhere, and although our planet is very small, God has not forgotten us. He made us, and He provided for us by making the world so it would sustain life. Never forget the opening verses of the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ... God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" (Genesis 1:1, 31).But something happened to the perfect world that God createdâ€"and that "something" was sin. Adam and Eve walked with Godâ€"but in time they gave in to the temptations of Satan, and they turned their backs on God. And when they did, sinâ€"like a lethal cancerâ€"destroyed their fellowship with God and brought death to the human race.But God did not abandon us! God loves us, and He was determined to bring us back to Himself. He did this by coming down to earth in the person of His Son, Jesus, who died so we could live. Do you know the God of the universe in a personal way? You can, by opening your heart! to Jesus Christ today. believer_in_jesus37421@yahoo.com...Show more

Shaunta Paap: Logically it is highly unlikely that there is any creator, at least for this universe."Because there is such law as gravity, universe can and will create itself out of nothing." -Stephen HawkingAlso, according to the drake equation, possibility of existence of extra terrestrial intelligence is very high."If it's only us, it seems like an awful waste of space." - Carl Sagan...Show more
Dedra Furguson: He knows what will happen cause he is God... he creates and knows what will happen, how things will end... Because, he shows us... if he didnt show us, just put is in heaven or hell... it wouldnt be fair...
Ricardo Rozelle: let me re-phrase,do you think there are other alien civilization in the universe apart from our own?if there ever is,and god created us in his own image...then who created them?
Karl Jantzen: For most people, yes, though technically it's wrong for modern religion unless you're Catholic and then you can B! ingo all day long!(Weekly apologies eventually show themselves to be lies.)I love this question when asked because it's always an excuse to listen to Billy Holiday♩ ♪ ♫ ♬If I go to church on Sunday,Then cabaret all day Monday,Ain't nobody's bizness if I do, if I do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAbMlxUhjTs
Burt Stoecklin: alot of you talk about not 'seeing' or 'knowing' any evidence to support this statement.so,what evidence do you have to support your claim about the existence of your god?
Chris Coggins: I'd have to go with the Thunder Cats on this one.
Filiberto Amauty: No. That's like pushing your ox into the mud on Friday afternoon.
Sammie Bocanegra: The Christian God isn't a threat to atheists, look out for the fundamentalist followers of Allah they'll separate your head from your shoulders.
Russ Kiernan: Yes God knows everything.People don't know everything.People sometimes see their faith level or God's miraculous help and bl! essings.Bad things can happen to christians that God had no part.When a! theists and antichristians take christians to court to silence them or force them to stop expressing their freedom of speech and religion.Such a test of their faith is not from God (USA and other countries)....Show more
Mayola Sylva: Perhaps Rainbow Bright could shine a flash of light upon you.I personally think Smurfs would make a formidable force.LOL..................WTF are you on?
Elinore Schlinker: Are you really sincere about your repentance if you plan on gambling again? If you are letting anything come in between you and your relationship with God, you are in danger of rejecting the Holy Spirit, who pleads with you to sincerely repent of all sin. Slavery to sin is something you need to take to Jesus Christ in order to receive strength to overcome and continue following God where He leads you. Trust in Jesus Christ to lead you out of darkness and into His light. God bless.http://www.amazingfacts.org/bible-study/get-to-kno......Show more
Carter Edst! rom: You might be forgiven by G-d, but your debtors and your family who are depending on you won't forgive or forget.Sometimes, it's a matter of priorities, and not relying on "forgiveness" from someone who doesn't matter.
