1 | Casting lots | Acts 1:26 | consider | 72748 | ||
The casting of lots was widely used in the OT but also in the NT for making decisions. Gk kleros. see prov 16:33, Acts 1:26 for example. Are these appropriate and scriptural ways for individual Christians to make decisions today? Or do they err on the side of divination? | ||||||

3 | Casting lots | Acts 1:26 | yampa78 | 72773 | ||
If God is sovereign, which I believe he is, then he is ultimately in control of all outcomes. Therefore, I think that this is a legitimate way of determining God's will in certain circumstances. However, God's moral will should always be looked at and prayed about first when any decision is to be made. Casting lots is unnecessary and foolish when it is obvious that one decision is glorifying to God and the other is not. eg.- flipping a coin to decide whether you should cheat on your wife or not. That's obviously an extreme example, but I hope you get my point. This is my opinion based on what I have read and what I have been taught. If anyone disagrees with me, and has scripture to back it up, please share that information. |
