1 | Is it a sin to play the lottery? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 16716 | ||
You make my point..Thanks 1.Janie didn't say that gambling was going to be a means of securing a retirement. 2.The image we portray can make easy or difficult the road that leads to a presentation of the Gospel. Janie sounds like a regular person. I heard the Gospel from a regular guy. I was not saved at a church picnic (oh sorry..there goes that sensetivity thing again :-)) 3."(Holy Spirit) perfected Christian life" -yes. The "perfect" Christian life would include winning souls to Christ which would not be a reason for a church split. A reason for a split may be for some Christians to suggest that they themselves are the standard of which the Scripture speaks. But those people I find usually are not "gifted" in bringing souls to Christ. That must sound a little mean, but I do not mean it to be so. I am somewhat passionate about not being a "stumbling block" and if we refuse to ( INSERT AMUSEMENT CHOICE HERE) then we may just become a stumbling block because we seem, I said seem, to be a wet blanket. Go where the sinners are :-) But do not sin. 4. This grape juice thing is curious to me coming from someone who sees in Scripture that you should not play a football pool (and it's not there), and does not see that Jesus blessed the wine not the juice (which is there.) You are by far not the only one to think that somehow wine as a Communion element would be missing the mark. I just find cognitive disonance(sp?) a muse ing :-) 5.What seems to be "outlandish" is always just around the corner. But I got a bit extreme in a poor attempt to make a point. 6. I believe we both have a problem with writing a last paragraph - you pretty much did what you said I did. If it was written with the intent of showing me how I sound sometimes, point well taken. We really are speaking of serious issues. May God bless you and yours, Jim |

Dear Jenson, Greetings in Jesus' name! I am curious about the results of your poll concerning the use of grape juice instead of alcoholic wine. Is there a result or conclusion? :-) BTW, does your church use wine? Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |

we didn't forget jesus first miracle.also use of wine as symbols in many of his verses.but the use of it outside the church preferred to be in a controlling manner in our belief through the love of christ which keeps no record of wrongs | ||||||

Dear Hali...I agree that wine was used as symbols in some of his verses. Do you believe that using wine inside the church with the Lords Supper or Communion is an important issue for modern Christians. Should we use wine if at all possible? God Bless Jensen |
