AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. |
Bible Question (short): Casting lots |
Question (full): 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? |
