Note, for instance, that the bible also doesn't mention using drugs, etc., but we can still gather from stated biblical principle that drugs are a sin for a Christian. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The bible does not prohibit certain things such as drinking [/ QUOTE ] So just illegal drugs are out then? |

Re: Can a Christian play poker?
Then again, come on down to the Catholic town I grew up in and every single Catholic Church has a festival in the summer that raises money through gambling and beer sales. Oh and bingo every Tuesday night in the church basement.
Though they recently ( a couple years ago) took out the game where rats were spun around in circles on a wheel and dizzily crawled into a colored hole (you bet on colors) because it was against church teaching on animals. I think they still have the turtle races though. Not quite as exciting as going to the track, but easier to carry. |

It's only a sin if you lose; no money to put in the tithing envelope..
