Lol.
You are already cornered.
Who are the elders? The one in your Organization?
Keep whining yourself. Even if they tell you not to eat food again but fruits, you will take it as the gospel because some so called elders agreed on it.
Is that not laughable?
Ọmọ it's simple just find any church where the elders approve gambling and start attending if truly you believe in Jesus who arranged for Apostles and elders to govern the affairs of his disciples. Act 2:42🙂

I do not attend a church that add to wat the scriptures has stipulated.
Maybe ur own organization do some addition and subtraction as time and generation changes.
Gambling is not stated in the scriptures, so my church do not have any reason to speak for or against it.

If truly you went to school then you would have known that by 99% you referred to real and tangible things with digital being the anomaly.

And see, in addition to all your disgrace you now resorted to lies for no, Bitcoin is not even sanctioned by your rulers (legal)

Virtual currencies are not legal tender in Nigeria

You better go hide yourself in shame.

Another one will come up within 3-5 years.
You are the one distorting the truth. The government of Nigeria has come out to say they will create a framework that will REGULATE the cryptocurrency.
Some countries has taken Bitcoin and crypto as legal tender. Does God judge things based on Nigerias views alone?
Bitcoin trading/Gambling are not stated to be sin in the scriptures. If you disagree, point to the scriptures or kept the guts shut.
CASE CLOSED.

Good!
So continue attending since the elders in your church approves gambling as for those whose church elders disapproved it they should not go against the spirit of the church {Revelation 3:14} it's better to change the church than kicking against the spirit of the church of God! Matthew 12:31-32

Digging into shame won't get you out of it. The thread already shows that since the very beginning you never could deny the stealing both you and the gambling organisers do when you both try to steal each others' money despite all the times you kept moving post and repeated yourself. And I told you since then you had nothing to valid to say. And now, after all your lies and twistings, you still find that you are still guilty of stealing when you gamble. Olē. Everyday for the thief one day for God!

Why are you so restless nah?🙂

You said it's not written in the Bible word for word and i showed you that it's not everything Jesus taught that was in the Old Testament word for word yet his disciples believe him because they saw the result of his teachings.

You said your church approved gambling i told you it's OK so continue attending the church where gambling is approved.

What else do you want?

Obviously you are worried as you lied to cover your shame but i decided to take you for your word.

Now answer this one question:

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and my church forbids gambling.

Oya what is the name of your church where gambling is approved?🙂

Because it happened in the bible doesn't mean YHWH approved it. Show me where YHWH approved incest in the Bible.

In yuur case, isl@m approved incest.

Two different things!
What is incest? And where did Islam approve it?

You should be proud some of Jesus's ancestors were products of incest!

Stop pritiending as if yuu are 2 diaft to see the difference.
Yahweh said sodomy was bad and sent angels to destroy them! But why was He silent about incest?

Did Yahweh know they'll embrace incest after leaving sodomy?

This yuur comment further proved that the stories of Abraham Moses, etc in the keuran were all copied from the bible.

Abraham, lot, Moses, Adam, David, etc are people of YHWH. Minamed stole their stories from the bible and laid that he got reveliation grin grin grin

Keuran is a copy copy fiake b00k. Yuu mesuslims are practicing a fiake reiligion copied from other religions, like Christians, Jews, Sabians and Ar@b paigans
At least Lot didn't commit incest in the Qur'an! And there was no Judah and Tamar incest of Genesis 38 in the Qur'an. David didn't kill Uriah to marry his wife! Even Jacob didn't steal Esau's Prophethood with food and treachery!

Jesus said to those who will take the lead in his group:

“I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. However, when that one comes, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own initiative, but what he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things to come." John 16:12-13

So if all elders in the church of Christ has agreed upon a matter and sent words to all congregations {Act 15:22-29} whoever fails to hid the counsel by the spirit is no longer a member of Christ's family, they have bound it both in heaven and on earth that gambling is disapproved among God's people therefore go and attend any church that approves gambling for you. As for keeping quiet you can't decide for anyone here as you are not the one who asked the question it's a person who wishes to know what the Bible says on the matter and i have told him that gamblers are worshipers of Fortuna goddess of good luck.

Ọmọ you can worship anywhere you like if they approve gambling there but if not know today that the heavens has removed your name in the book of life for kicking against the spirit of the church! Matthew 12:31-32 compare to Matthew 18:15-17wink

If you refuse to accept what the church concluded upon regarding gambling today surely you won't accept either Jesus or his Apostles because they taught so many things that's not written word for word in the Old Testament.
So listen and learn the workers of iniquity Jesus is talking about @ Matthew 7:21-23 means individuals who will not welcome rules agreed upon by the church of Christ {3John :9} yet claiming they are his disciples.
For instance many like you chose to be disobedient to those taking the lead in the first century the Apostles and Elders of the church called them sons of disobedience {Ephesians 5:6} Paul told all members of the church to stop talking to such individuals {Romans 16:17} Apostle John said we shouldn't even greet them {2John 10-11} and Jude called them animals! Jude 19
So if you wish to stay alone without associating with any church that's your own problem {Hebrews 10:24-25} but know that all those kicking against God's prophets in Bible times and today have just one reason:

"They must show us where it is written in the scriptures"

Even though they can see that there is no organized group of worshipers that's approving what they choose to do they will stubbornly continue deceiving themselves with false reasoning. James 1:22

You will continue to be tormented if you are still quoting me on this matter because i won't stop responding with powerful scriptures whether you like it or not the church of Christ forbids gambling!🙂

Which church agreed to that? When and where was the sitting and agreement made?
Anything not in the scriptures is just an opinion. The scriptures is the constitution of the believer and it is rigid that it cannot be amended again.
DO YOU WANT TO ADD OR SUBTRACT FROM THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IT IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH OR THE WRITERS ARE NOT WISE ENOUGH TO LEAVE SOMETHINGS OUT.

For the benefit of those seeking humility and righteousness {Zephaniah 2:2-3} i say peace onto you in the name of our Lord and King Christ Jesus.

Let it be known that whatever religion you are practicing presently the true God won't judge you whether anyone calls it false religion or paganism rather what God takes seriously is your attitude towards sacred matters. If you always take sacred matters seriously God is watching you no matter the religion you are practicing right now your obedience and respect for those taking the lead is what matters to the true God.

So He will arrange for His worshipers to locate you no matter where you are even if you hate His worshipers to the point of killing them God won't give up on you because of those two qualities:

RIGHTEOUSNESS and MEEKNESS! Zephaniah 2:2-3

That's what happened to Apostle Paul in the Bible. He was zealous for what his religious teachers taught him {Galatians 1:14} he had a Jewish teacher {Act 22:3} who is also honest hearted! Act 5:33-40

With this God showed this man mercy because he is like many Jews of his day who had zeal but not according to the accurate knowledge of God's word. Romans 10:1-3

But no matter what you think you are if you don't submit to any school of thought that means you are practicing self righteousness which is useless before God! Isaiah 64:6

Whoever doesn't submit to any school of thought is regarded as a worker of lawlessness before Christ {Matthew 7:21-23} that's what you are claiming right now self righteousness. Isaiah 64:6

Incest refers to sexual activity between individuals who are closely related by blood or marriage.

In Isleam, you can marry the daughter of your wife if she already has the daughter before you marry her.

You can marry your niece and cousin in Isleam.

Minamed 7th wife is his first cousin. Her name is Zaynab bint Jaḥsh. grin

Isleam and incest are 5 and 6

There is not other school of thought order than what is clearly written in the scriptures. Any school of thought that negates that is heresy.
