521 | Why is gambling wrong . | Prov 28:20 | mark d seyler | 162562 | ||
Hi starfishswims, There is nothing said in the Bible directly about gambling. These are some principles that I think apply: Prov 28:20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished. For many, gambling is seen as "an easy/quick way to wealth". God does not approve of the "get rich quick" mentality. He intends us to faithfully work at the task He has appointed us to, and to allow Him to provide for us. Deut 8:18 "But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Prov 10:22 It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. Have you seen the news shows reporting how many lottery winners' lives are ruined by their sudden wealth? That happens a lot. Not to mention that we are to consider what we possess to be a stewardship from the Lord. Is gambling with someone else's money a responsible thing to do? But the biggest problem with gambling is the risk of addiction. 1 Cor 10:23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. Just because its allowed doesn't mean its good for you. 1 Cor 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. We are not to be brought under the power of anything, including the compulsion to gamble. Considering the potential for gambling addiction, I consider it to be risky behavior. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

530 | why is islam so powerful | Phil 2:1 | mark d seyler | 162456 | ||
Islam, with every false religion, will fall before the true King of Kings Jesus Christ. Phil 2:9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, Phil 2:10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Phil 2:11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |

John 12:44 And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me. John 12:45 "He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

540 | why is the Koran so hard to understand? | Bible general Archive 3 | mark d seyler | 162418 | ||
The Koran was written by man, and not by divine inspiration. It was written piecemeal in an attempt to "create" a new religion, by promoting one false god over a number of false gods. Mohummed wrote sections to answer his detractors as he had to somehow "document" his authority to do whatever he wanted. The result is disjointed and conflicted, and I am not surprised you find it difficult to understand. I find it so also. It is not like the Bible, which was written by divine inspiration, and is the True God's revelation to mankind. Stick with the Bible! :-) Love in Christ, Mark |
