Casting lots is one of the ways humans use to determine outcomes, it could religious or non religious.
In the ancient times the outcome of lots was attributed to the gods however the outcome could be determined by the true God or evil spirit.
Casting lots is not pagan but was adopted by pagans instead.

It seems you are so desperate to have this play out according to your own script there....again.... My rice & oats situation may be left to time and chance --or mood--- which happens to everyone but the decision whether a servant of the most high lives or dies dependent on luck?.

Kobojunkie:
I really don't follow... Jonah was trying to run away from God. The men who cast lots were not even mentioned to have been of Hebrew descent nor is it indicated that they served God of Israel.

I really don't follow... Jonah was trying to run away from God. The men who cast lots were not even mentioned to have been of Hebrew descent nor is it indicated that they served God of Israel. The story instead says they resorted to playing Rock-Paper-scissors in order to decide which of them was responsible for the storm they were having to deal with. And the lot fell on Jonah who at that time was already racked with guilt. Jonah is said to have confessed to being guilty too. So how luck take enter when Jonah was a servant of the most high meaning his destiny was ruled over by God Himself?

Again, your best bet hear is instead showing that playing Rock-Paper-scissors is decreed sin by God, not all these desperate attempts at casting it down when God is said to have even suggested it be used by the High Priest in the Land? Jesus Christ never told His followers that it is sin to cast lost or to vote, so, not sure why you are desperate to make an issue where there is none.

Kobojunkie:
Telling me that casting lots every day to decide if it will be oats or rice pudding in the morning is of ifa na brain damage abeg! If I choose rice today, does that mean oats was just unlucky, you tell me.

It's wrong in someone admitting that he doesn't know soemthjng and then becoming neutral to

jaephoenix:
No. It doesn't apply to aliens. And I never mentioned aliens, you did.
And no, I'm not trying to choose where my analogy applies. I just asked a simple yes or no question. We haven't even gone from point A to B.

Workch:
same way a creator and a hovering dragon connects to you.

Can't you see the flaw in your analogy?

Workch:
a creator is not a dragon. I don't see how they connect.

triplechoice:
You were the one who claimed a dragon is hovering over my head which I can't see.

Workch:
So why are you mentioning dragons and other things?
Stick to the god debate. You are avoiding the alien analogy because your logic will collapse there

MaxInDHouse:
What the OP is saying makes more sense than outrightly condemning the idea of God since those criticizing also BELIEVE in things that are not proven with hard facts other than reading what was WRITTEN in books by other humans!

FxMasterz:
The Spiritual research I've undertaken gives me an edge.

Keep doing your physical research that scratches only the surface. I'll keep enjoying my spiritual experience.

FxMasterz:
I'm spiritually and academically knowledgeable with practical spiritual experience.

triplechoice:

If it makes you feel saved dear.

Okay, now you are saved?

Anyone casts lots, including little children. Trying to force it all to be a ritual to your local God is a misguided joke.

Nothing short of millions of dollars in blood money, saved man.

Maynman, you are an ichi nkita. Go and get rid of the owu mmiri that has afflicted you and has made you an unadulterated illiterate before you attempt to question my religious beliefs.

Ewu mmeee! Iti oko!

FxMasterz:
No, the result is what you and the OP have displayed. The writer whose article you screenshot is not left out. Satan is busy laughing at your ignorance. Infact, he's very happy you're dancing to his tune.

FxMasterz:
The devil is not ignorance but ignorance is one of his potent tools.

Workch:
Why should I believe or disbelieve if I csnt just b neutral and wait for evidence

Workch:
I can't answer it, I can't answer whether or not I believe in aliens. Why should I believe or disbelieve if I csnt just b neutral and wait for evidence

preciousee17:
Look for something reasonable and do... You think Christianity is paining you? Wait for hell fire and you'll understand which one should pain someone.

FxMasterz:
When the devil blinds a man, he blinds him totally.

Image123:
And blood money even. Now you are saved.

MindHacker9009:
The sailors had their own pagan gods they cried to in the Book of Jonah. Thereafter they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.

Is this not ifa practice by the apostle just like the sailors did in the Book of Jonah?

Image123:
?

Image123:
Arguing from ignorance still in a new month? Casting lots is something even little children use till today. It's akin to picking rolled paper to determine turns. Only that the Jews believed in a God factor influencing it for the best. So they took the decision as God permitted.
