I'm sure there's great comedy potential in hijacking this thread: http://www.hopenet.net.ph/forum/view...296fb6e84cc8aa |

Re: Can a Christian play poker?
Not really because he is putting himself into a test, believing that he has the strength to fight the temptation and not fall into it. This is dangerous, as we don't have the strength to fight the evil one. Only God has such strength, and we should not rely on our strength, but only on His strength for our part in the spiritual fight against the evil one. And we must rely on God's protection from temptation.

Re: Can a Christian play poker?
I'm a christian and I play poker. There is nothing wrong with the game as it isnt putting faith in luck as you play for a 'long run' winning profile. Christians believe games that are luck based regardless of the time played is bad as it is putting trust into something that is not God for a greed purpose. I also assure that there is nothing wrong with disco! that is fanatic to take things to that absurd level! Fanaticism is a problem in every religion and is what causes problems. I know many christians who play poker for money, it's a great game!
