[s] Kobojunkie:[/s] I thank God that salvation is personal. So if you like, gamble...it is your business. But give us a fair chance to escape by letting the bible speak for itself. |

Jashub:Salvation has absolutely nothing to do with this. God's Covenants are not defined differently for individuals so you don't get to cook up your own sin medley to sell as God's Covenant. The New Covenant that Jesus Christ spoke and taught to us all from 2000 years ago is still the same Covenant that holds even to this day and is the everlasting Covenant that exists between God and man. Gambling is not listed as a sin according to that Covenant either. So, if you assume it your place to go around proclaiming sin that which God did not count as sin, suggesting you do so in the name of God(on behalf of God) know that God is against you there, and that is according to His commandment that you should not add or remove from His commandments. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Kobojunkiee: 7:19pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
Jashub:Actually, Smoking is not listed as a sin in either the Old and the New Covenants. As for Masturbation, and Pedophilia, you do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand that since both condemn lust, both those are also condemned. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Kobojunkiee: 7:20pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
Jashub:The Spirit of God will never go against the Word of God! You need to make certain that the Spirit you are dealing with there is even of God, to begin with. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Kobojunkiee: 7:28pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
Jashub:So, can you post the exact verse, either in the Old Or New Covenant, where God states that Gambling is a sin? Jashub:Our Conduct differentiates us from others? According to Jesus Christ, it is not our behaviour that matters but who we live for. If we live for God, then we obey the commandments, as stipulated by God Himself (His Truth), following after the leading of the Spirit of God (His Spirit) - that is what it means to serve God in Truth and in Spirit. So, if God does not stipulate Gambling as a sin, yet you go around telling people that it is, are you doing so in the obedience to God's Truth? NO Are you following after the Spirit of God in your disobedience of God's commandment, never to add to His commandments? NO Jashub:Your body is useless to God if you do not obey His commandments and follow the leading of His Spirit in your obedience. That is why Hell is prepared for those who believe in God(they are saved) but refuse to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. |

Jashub:The part in bold you got right but unfortunately, even you have little respect for God's law, it seems. God never told you that smoking is a sin but you have in your mind found a way to inject it as one, pretending you do so on behalf of God Almighty. Don't you see that what you do amounts to calling God a fool -- you believe He was foolish for not including smoking as a sin so you feel you have to do it on His behalf, isn't that so? |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by chukwunweikeemi(m): 9:02pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
it is a sin to desire to make money without working.Gambling is mostly fuelled by greed. That portion of the bible that says "the fool and his money are soon parted",I believe God put it there for gamblers. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Jashub: 9:07pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
Kobojunkiee:Hey donkey, I was not referring to you. And besides, you are not a christian...you are just another gay satanist filled with thrash as usual. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Kobojunkiee: 9:11pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
chukwunweikeemi:Where is this sin of yours listed? chukwunweikeemi:How is gambling fueled by greed? The following verse is from the same book of Proverbs that you got your assertion about fools and money from.
God Himself decides the end result of all lots that are cast. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Jashub: 9:13pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
chukwunweikeemi:True talk brother. Abeg leave that guy...he is more depraved than Bobrisky |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by chukwunweikeemi(m): 9:30pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
The bible encourages work,infact it even says "there is dignity in labour" and that God will bless the work of our hands.Now can gambling be presented as the work of one's hands? Gambling encourages laziness and it is fuelled mostly by greed and love for money. "The fool and his money are soon parted." |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Kobojunkiee: 9:35pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
chukwunweikeemi:Notice how you keep inserting your own meaning into the many verses you keep pulling from the same book without in fact showing where it is indeed listed as a sin? |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by chukwunweikeemi(m): 10:06pm On Dec 03, 2020 |
Who will soon part with his money? Answer:The fool (A gambler,............) they indeed part with their money because I see our streets littered with loosing tickets.I see young men who don't want to earn a living because they think they can win in 2hours what people earn in one month.I see kids sitting at home and not going to school because dad gambled away their school fees.I see whole fanily starving because mum gambled away the money meant for cooking,etc,etc.. Since gamblers can rightly fit into the above bible verse and God calls them fools,then it means that gambling does not please God and so we can say with all boldness that "Gambling is a sin" |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by Kobojunkiee: 1:28am On Dec 04, 2020 |
chukwunweikeemi:If you are trying to find where it might have been declared a sin by God Himself, then you need to look in the Old Covenant(Law of Moses) which consists of 613 commandments in total and is found in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The New Covenant can be found in the Gospels and the law is contained in the details of Jesus Christ's own words, up until He announced on the cross that it is finished. Those are the two places in the Bible to look for the definition of sin. The book of proverbs does not contain God's laws on sins but instead the supposedly wise opinions of men, many of which, if you are honest with yourself, are lacking. For example, the proverb that says something like "Money is the root of all evil" makes no sense if you really consider the meaning of it. But, it was recorded by those who compiled the book of proverbs as a word of wisdom. Now, when you insert your own meaning into words to make them say what you want them to, then you only reveal you are either playing with a half deck of cards or simply think too highly of yourself there. I suggest you stop thinking that the book is meant for you to "tinker" with as you like and start honestly searching it for truth as it is written in there. |

Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by chukwunweikeemi(m): 7:31am On Dec 04, 2020 |
1. Point of correction,the bible doesn't say that "Money is the root of all evil" rather it says "THE LOVE of money is the root of all evil" 2. The bible is the word of God and not the opinions of men. The bible tells us that "" all scripture was given by God and is profit able for reproof,correction..............." |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by youngchopper(m): 7:39am On Dec 04, 2020 |

Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by youngchopper(m): 8:19am On Dec 04, 2020 |

Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by enilove(m): 8:47am On Dec 04, 2020 |
youngchopper: You are wrong . Life without God is gambling. A gambler is a witch because he does not depend on God to direct him. That is why gambling is a SIN. THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO DIRECT OUR LIVES RIGHTLY SO AS TO AVOID UNNECESSARY MISTAKES. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by youngchopper(m): 8:55am On Dec 04, 2020 |
enilove:have you ever traveled in a public or private vehicle before? if yes did you travel with God in that vehicle ? if yes why are so many Christian's dieing in car accident ? if no and you get to your destination savely is called gambling with your life and you are a witch for taking such risk. |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by enilove(m): 8:56am On Dec 04, 2020 |
youngchopper: Who created the black man without wisdom ? What you call wisdom is not wisdom . The whites are wise but can't see anything wrong with homosexuality , beastility and most of them believe there is no God. A wise man is one that thinks about heaven: Proverbs 15:24 KJV The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. The ways of life of these white people are not different from those of Sodom and Gomorrah . |
Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by youngchopper(m): 8:59am On Dec 04, 2020 |
enilove:in other words your boss who doesn't give a damn bout repentace and you work for him both of you are witches and wizards abi? the way you guys see God is laughable and if you continue to reason out of Bible context you will continue living in bondage of your own ignorance the word of God is light and truth the Bible is our manual here on Earth follow all that is in the Bible and your life will be like honey but when you complicate and start adding from your own imaginary bible u complicate your life and bondage will be your birth right |
