Why do people just make stuff up?

>>24647282 (OP)
The apostles gambled, even.
>And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

>>24647329
that's divination but I think after Pentecost they ceased all divination, including even throwing lots, didn't they?

gambling is bad in the bible, you are just not wise enough

Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. Proverbs 13:11

>>24647404
>Dishonest money
so if I'm an honorable and profitable gambler, there's no problem

>>24647282 (OP)
i got AI(notebooklm) to do this with the book of genesis lmao

>>24647477
nice!
I've been taking some of my own notes lately

The Bible warns against the love of money, which is often a motivator for gambling. Passages like 1 Timothy 6:10 and Hebrews 13:5 highlight the dangers of placing too much value on wealth

Proverbs 13:11, 23:5, and 28:20, along with Ecclesiastes 5:10, discourage the pursuit of easy money and highlight the potential for loss and disappointment.

The Bible stresses the importance of managing finances responsibly and working hard for a living. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 and Ephesians 4:28 encourage honest labor and discourage idleness

so many cases...

>>24647282 (OP)
Gambling is a new word from the 18th century that came from gaming. The Bible was too early to use the same language as we did after the jesuits rewrote history to serve their purposes. But in the Bible times it would have been humble bundled with divination and fortune-telling, like how temple prostitution is humble bundled up with Baal worship without being mentioned as orgy temples. Gambling is just necromancy. That's why today we play gambling with tarot cards bearing the face of dead (pale) kings and queens and the burial objects, and cast the "die", When you gamble you are burying money in the grave trying to reanimate it as something better. Jesus didn't need to gamble, if he needed money he simply pulled it out of a fish. Fish don't come from the underworld, but under the sea.

>>24647282 (OP)
Becoz gambling as we know didn't existed.

>There isn’t an explicit mention of something in the text
>That means it’s permitted
People like you are the reason traffic cones exist. Incapable of even the mildest abstract thinking or predictive measures. You’d gleefully drive off a ledge if there wasn’t signage explicitly saying “NO ENTRY”

>>24648337
I agree that gambling your house away in spite of your family would be wrong, but you're the one adding things to the text because gambling isn't necessarily a sin.

>>24648351
Neither is premarital sex (if you do it just a little bit... in the ear hole).

>>24648452
That's ear-rape, it's sinful.

>>24648337
The word Trinity is not in the Bible but of course it is implied that God is triune.
Sure, gambling (proper) can be sinful.
Now please demonstrate that there is an implication that gambling (simpliciter) is necessarily a sin.

>>24648351
>implying the Bible is just a book of rules
Connecting dots isn’t adding new things, it’s following the existing things to their logical conclusion. If you were capable of this basic kind of abstract thought, this wouldn’t be a point of struggle for you.

>>24648564
So demonstrate using scripture how you've connected the dots. Is your interpretation infallible or do you just do what the priest tells you?

>>24648547
>sin
there are 7 of these
http://www.google.com/search?q=7+deadly+sins
so gambling is covered by....
greed -
envy -
wrath -
sloth -
gluttony -
and so on

>>24647347
No, there was some girl afterwards who did divination.
>Acts 16:16
>And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying

>>24647411
Jumbo shrimp

>>24648585
Yeah but that's because she had a demon and Paul rebukes that spirit
>Acts 16:18

>>24648580
>there are 7 of these
There's more than that, pal. But listing words isn't a demonstration

>>24648603
You didn't say the divination couldn't be from a devil :)

>gambling to win money = avarice = sin
>gambling to spend money = prodigality = sin
>gambling for the thrill = paying for a bit of harmless fun = not a sin
You wouldn't say paying to ride on a roller coaster is a sin, would you? And healthy gambling is ultimately the same principle.

>>24648574
You’ve already been shown that several times ITT. But you’ve made it abundantly clear you are solely interested in excusing your sin. Tell me, what is the goal of gambling? What is the ideal outcome of that? Is that living in the way God has set out for you?

You will not answer this materially, because you know it’s inexcusable. In fact, the only reason this thread exists is because of the OP’s inner conflict. Your guilt is written in your words before you even hit send.

>>24648609
no there are only 7 deadly sins
learn about theology

sword from jesus's mouth
fowls eat the flesh of those slain by jesus
angel of the sun
beast and false prophet
white horses
jesus with a blood all over his vesture
four beasts worshipping god
24 elders worshipping god
7 churches (criticisms of them basically)
7 vials
jezebel
the whore of babylon
apollyon/abaddon

>>24649363
can you please stop projecting your bbc fetish on my /his/ board?

>>24647620
Correct. Men are meant to toil and labor till the end of our days, get rich quick schemes like gambling are antithetical to this.

>>24648032
OP didn't read shit, this is a bait post but I like talking about the bible anyways.

>>24647404
Prob reference to usury

>>24647404
there's nothing dishonest about winnings from gambling if you aren't cheating

>>24647620
>love of money
arguably gambling is exactly the opposite as they are willing to lose it, someone who was a true miser who loved money would be too scared to gamble

Job is a guide to +EV gambling strategies by God.

>>24650662
Yes I did.

>>24650881
Good point. And a lot of anons here are presupposing that if you are gambling then you aren't "working hard," when in fact you have to work very hard to be a profitable professional or semi-pro gambler. Some spend more time studying than gambling or at least 50/50. You cannot be undisciplined unless you're doing it for fun.
>>24650891
Far be it from anons itt to know what +EV is.

>>24648660
>what is the goal of gambling?
It could be to (a) have fun or to (b) make money, which isn't different than (a) spending money on recreation or (b) other 0 sum vocations. By your logic it would be a greedy sin to invest money into bitcoin.
> What is the ideal outcome of that?
To enjoy my toil under the sun.
> Is that living in the way God has set out for you?
It could be. I also have a unique opportunity to evangelize to other gamblers, as it is a mostly untapped scene of idolaters albeit with decent IQ's willing to entertain philosophical discourse.

>>24650891
Pascal's wager says it's infinite +EV to believe in God and infinite -EV to be an atheist lol. Understanding EV might actually get someone to consider theism.

>>24651850
>Tard writes a paragraph detailing greed, gluttony, and slothfulness
Lmao

>>24652460
We can imagine infinite such wagers. Taking this one more seriously rests on accepting premises by later Christian sects. Atheists don't accept Christian premises at all and I consider the idea heretical, a confused and/or dishonest reading of the Bible.

>>24652644
you're not supposed to have blind faith because of the wager but if it can break someones secular indoctrination then why be against it?

Any good books on statistics for a retrad?

The bible has no passages about drunk driving this means I can just do it sin free dumbass

who got the get?

Quran? or Book of Mormon

>>24655584
Any

>>24655534
Why attack strawman by analogy? Just demonstrate that gambling is necessarily wrong.

Also the bible is against drunkenness, clearly.

A gambler doesn't love his neighbour
He cast his money down to the devil and wants to take advantage of someone else's credulity and his risk tolerance to take all their money back from the devil casting it back up onto him. Every gambler knows the other guy is a shmuck. He is a money changer for the tables before the temple whose business is worshipping satan. Satan is Losing money. Satan is the repo man and the ever increasing interest rates on your loans, he's very hungry for your money, but also the other guy who won the game is in League with Satan. He is the guy that burns your heart because you're an idiot at times and at othwr times he's gonna rip your heart and chew it up. Jesus says come here boo, I'll kiss your broken heart and mend it, he dgaf. Every game player wants to win and cheat the other guy, that's not love, that's lust and envy. The casino and betting industrt makes it into one of those big satanic mills, milling out death and sin. When the Son of Man comes and you lost all your money at the game, he is gonna give you the biggest kiss you'll ever recieve, and you'll cry when he suffocates you in his love because you didn't share that money with the poor, you used it to try to cheat other prospectives out of their money.

>A gambler doesn't love his neighbour
but jay dyer said you can love your enemy while killing them, can't i love my neighbor as we enjoy a mutual game of wits and chance?
So is investing in Bitcoin a sin, then? because I could have used that money to give to the poor, or is it if I make a lot of money off of btc and give it to the poor then it's okay?

>>24656190
Sure, why not? if you give the money gained from gambling entirely to the poor, if you have the honest intention of doing that and you aren't making anything up it makes sense that you are going to have really good luck and Win for God's team, or you will lose more often than not and end up like that guy who wasted it in the oarable of the talents. Will you play that game?

>>24656190
And who is Jay Dyer please?

>>24656195
Yes, I think I will, now that I'm met with you're approval.

>>24656208
Are you an ill person? Can you read properly? My approval is conditional on God's intentions towards you. Do not pretend to speak about my approval again creep.

>>24647282 (OP)
God literally made a bet with satan over Job. God LOVES gamblers and gambling.

>>24656224
kek, based

>>24656224
What bet? Read the text. I think you are the same forktongue liar who does this all the time. Read the text, nothing you hallucinate is in there about a bet? I am so confused by your assertion that God bet or gambled anything? Are you keeping later hours than you were before? How are you doing?

>gambling to win money = avarice
I would dispute this because it makes it sound like acquiring money per se is a sin.

>>24647282 (OP)
Gambling bad.

>>24648547
your own example fails you because the trinity is false and logically impossible

>>24659149
Sir, this is a thread for people who believe in the bible.

>>24647282 (OP)
Gambling is just gaming if your responsible with your finances
