Antwan99:Wow. This is huge. Congratulations. |
oyewale0001:In the past three or four thousand years ago or so, God called Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and progressively gave him his life-giving laws which Moses faithfully recorded and passed down to us. These laws explain God's will, it regulates our conduct, it guides and instruct us in the way we should go, but the laws are not exhaustive in and of themselves. They don't cover every nitty-gritty of our conduct or our daily lives. I would give you an example. There was no law that instructs the Jews on what happens or on what they were required to do when a man dies without a male son. It wasn't until the daughters of Zelophedad (a man who had five daughters) approached Moses with a petition that the Lord's will on the matter became very clear. Before then, there was no law. But if women inherited properties because their father had no male offspring and they get married, it would cause another problem in the Year of Jubilee, so the heads of the clans of Makir brought Zelophedad daughter's inheritance quagmire before Moses to know God's will. It wasn't until they complained that God's will became known on the matter. Now, my question to you is this. If a bunch had complained before Moses that they want to know God's will on this matter: whether it is right to use the resources God has given them to make predictions of future events in the hopes that they make more money, what would God have ruled? I have many things to say to you but answer this first. |
BItt: ![]() The Urim and Thummim were sacred lot worn or used by the High Priest (don't know how it is used) to inquire of the LORD or to know his will. The Jews of ancient times used it to know what God wants them to do or to know his WILL in time. David, for example, used it quite often. They are not for predictions. The sacred lots do not predict; they tell. There is a big and marked difference between the two, sir. In fact, God does not predict anything. He simply tells. Absolute foreknowledge. Divine prerogative! Now, as to whether gambling is a sin, it actually is. But we are not ready for this discussion today. |
Joeblaze26:Give him a break, please. You know as well as I do that gambling is a sin. God does not approve that his people resort to predictions to get by and make ends meet. Knowing this, we still bet though, and can only ask forgiveness. It is not for me and you to rebuke or chastise those who preach against this vice. There's no point doing that. You don't know whose heart God will touch to quit. Just because you and I have a heart of stone does not mean that everyone does. To be frank, I wouldn't stop betting, at least not for now. It is not hypocrisy in a sense because you know as well as I do that it is wrong, but we still bet. Should we say then that all of us are hypocrites? If you have a kid brother who is thinking of gambling, wouldn't you tell him the same thing Monsuru is saying even though you gamble? Should we call that hypocrisy? |
monsuru56:May God forgive all of us. |
DiskJokeyManic:1xbet have some of the maddest options you can think of. Like, digits in the final scoreline: 0 - 9, yes or no. Even for corner scoreline sef. Or, the yes or no option in what they call Last Corner time which is 1 - 89 mins, or 89 - 90 mins. Even for yellow card sef. Then, it used to be 1.9 - 2 odds but they've reduced it now. |
guobe: ![]() Draws? Well, count me out. If it's not 1x or 2x, I no do abeg! Congratulations, though! |
DiskJokeyManic:Not many users would share the games they play, me included. One even gets to see your big stakes on a regular. Wow. To add to that, we get to see your winnings too. A classic definition of meeting the very purpose of this thread. However, it's just that you put up some nasty attitudes that is unbecoming of an adult like insults and tantrums that shouldn't be. Like the way you let out on an insult spree yesterday because someone asked the users here to convert codes to Sporty. It should not be so But I guess, one cannot have it all in this life. |
Kung:Okay sir. Our amiable resident pastor. ![]() |
Pastor Kung, I never knew you had your own ministry. ![]() I might come over one of these days. |
TossTos:Nice! Users should be coerced to read this comment every single time they click on a thread. I think I have to drop this somewhere. |
AlphaNugget:Yesterday when you drafted your question, I couldn't respond (even though I had already clicked "reply" and was about to) because of power cut. My laptop only works when there's power. So I woke up this morning with the page already loaded, so I didn't have to click your post again. |
Mrwhite09: ![]() ![]() Your composure and maturity when insulted is second to none. Wow, just wow! Do you pray five times daily? |
AlphaNugget:No, not at all. He just seem to exude a staggering level of maturity when insulted - especially when it also concerns his religion or his devotion to it thereof. It looks like he's either a fellow of a different faith pretending to be Muslim or he doesn't practice his faith religiously. I have lived with Muslims and I can confidently tell you that they don't take religious insults with kids gloves. He just seem to be different in that regards. He shrugs it off quite often. A very good thing, I must say. |
Reggaero:I have lived with "Hausa Christians" for a large part of my life. By Hausa Christians, I mean, christians indigenous to the core northern states. Sure, they have their own language but... I still see them as being Hausas. My last landlord is a Hausa Christian. |
Mrwhite09:Are you a Muslim? |
TrustNone:If na 50k you wan use stake, why not play both games 1x or play them home or over 2.5. You would still get small change. |
![]() You do your turn, you no gree your successor do hin own. Na wa o. Even God Almighty cuts us some slack. We don't always do what God wants, but he still gives us free rein to what pleases us in our daily endeavours. And yet, this man wants to be the president of this country. No integrity at all. Anyway, Sai Amana! Sai NNPP! ![]() ![]() |
Off to see Ollie Watkins and my very good friend Bissouma. The real ballers. |
LordIsaac:It's quite unsettling I must say. |
Jokerman:I hope you are joking even tough your username says you don't joke. ![]() No, actually, your username say you joke so I hope this is not a joke. ![]() Putting away your three wives is the height of impiety masked under religious piety. What you just said is not a divine command. Polygamy itself is not a divine prohibition and how much more a man who did in fact married women when he is not a Christian. If you truly understand the nature of GOD and the nature of women, you'd very easily understand why God did not forbid polygamy in ancient times. Read the law of God. This time carefully and repeatedly, from Genesis to Deuteronomy. If possible, like four or five times. |
Righteousness2: ![]() This is godlessness taken to the extreme. A believer should settle and be rid of what you called "sin partners" because he's found Jesus? Tell me you do not mean what you say. Christ definitely had you in mind when he called out the Pharisees for teaching men's tradition as commandments from God. This is just so unrighteous, vile, insensitive, and wicked, to say the least. There is not a single passage in holy scriptures that forbids men from marrying more than one wife. There is none, whatsoever. I am willing and more than willing to part with a substantial sum if you can prove it. In fact, the Pauline epistles discourage it. The bible requires that people remain the way they are when they first met HIM, so I don't know where you got yours from. 1Cor. 7 vs. 17. Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you, and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches. He repeats himself in verse 20 vs. 20. Yes, each of you should remain as you were when God called you. And again, he repeats himself in verse 24. vs. 24. Each of you, dear brothers and sisters, should remain as you were when God first called you. If the man is to remain the way he is when God called him, how can you require that he divorce his wives when the act itself doesn't make him a sinner? |
eseka12:I don try different 1x2 strategy.... For where! Wetin I never try.... For where! I don try, if you're playing at home, then I don't care how good the opposition is, you would not lose. I don try if you're above me on the table, you would always remain above me. I don try, if you sabi ball and you sabi pass wella, you sabi ball i don try if you are a heavy favourite, I am not even sure you'd win the match, but you wouldn't lose For where! This thing is very predictable but quite hard especially if you're parlying more than five games in a single ticket. |
Namaster:You put it quite nicely. This kind of action makes me cringe sharing the same skin with some who see themselves as "rationale beings". Very irrational action. This is stupidity taken too far. |
The LORD GOD doesn't just restrain the heavenly bodies from tumbling down on mortals below. God Almighty, the creator, originator, and King of all spirit beings also restrains so many objects besides celestial bodies. What you mentioned is just one among many. We are not done until God is done with us. ![]() And lest you forget, God is still the devil's God. The devil is still very much under God's authority! How much more other spirit beings who are lesser ranked (in diverse metrics) when compared side by side with the devil. Thank Yahweh your God, the LORD, that this is not the case, though. You'd have been far more responsible and damnable. ![]() |
Duplicate. Didn't realise I replied twice. |
PJtech: ![]() ![]() Na to dey shout - God will continue to bless you for your good deed - we sabi. No lele sha! |
ObalendeCMS:Sorry, maybe next time. Probably when I win. |
eseka12:You no longer post your edited 10-odds ticket. Last week, too. What happened? |
