I think this answers your extent of supporting that gambling is sinful. Nice try to deflect me. Since you don't appear to have anything of theological substance, I will conclude this thread here. I have put you on my Ignore list so I don't waste more time discussing a topic with someone who has...

What verse are you looking at that says it is sinful?

If your understanding of soon is legitimate in this context then Paul was mistaken. Paul clearly states that he would be included in the Rapture, he considered that he was going to go in the Rapture, which we all know is not true. The word soon meaning quickly is indeed legitimate. When the...

How about this wager? We bet $1,000.00 that the rapture will not happen by the end of 2028. You think it will, and I am saying let's make a bet to make it interesting. Fair enough?

I would be willing to wager $1,000.00 that the Rapture will not happen within the next 500 years. Any takers?

Something tells me you are not a serious bible student. Now where would I have got that from? Strangely, the two responses I got from my original post have no biblical reference. If you can't discuss a post without referencing one biblical teaching, what is the sense in responding at all? I...

If man does not have free will, then he can't sin either. The implications are staggering when you say man can not come to Christ. Yet, Luke records that God created man to seek Him out. Paul says that God wants all people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Keep in mind that man...
