Maynman:

The ignorance is deep.

Maynman:

Yahweh worshipper, You can’t eat money.

Image123:


Anyone casts lots, including little children. Trying to force it all to be a ritual to your local God is a misguided joke.

Maynman:

Ifa priests with their pebbles

Image123:


Okay, now you are saved?

Image123:


If it makes you feel saved dear.

FxMasterz:

Yeah, very deep.

Maynman:

Yes oo, gobbling up jewish books with zero knowledge

FxMasterz:


I'm spiritually and academically knowledgeable with practical spiritual experience.

Maynman:

If you have done any research on your israelite god you won’t be worshiping yahweh.
BTW, “spirit” means breathe, keep deluding yourself, saying words you don’t understand 😂😂
“Spiritual experience”

FxMasterz:


The Spiritual research I've undertaken gives me an edge.

Keep doing your physical research that scratches only the surface. I'll keep enjoying my spiritual experience.

■ So you mean Jonah was just unlucky when the lot fell on him, just like in a game of chance when a referee tosses a coin. Dey play. You, @Speep, @preciousee17 and others in your camp need to quickly go and register at the nearest kindergarten near you as that's where you guys are needed.

Kobojunkie:
Telling me that casting lots every day to decide if it will be oats or rice pudding in the morning is of ifa na brain damage abeg! If I choose rice today, does that mean oats was just unlucky, you tell me.

Kobojunkie:
I see that you are desperate to make an issue of Rock-Paper-scissors where there is none, aren't you?

A better approach would be to point out where God explicitly said casting of lots is sin. All this here is meaningless attempt at throwing stones at Jesus Christ who never said it is against God to cast lots.

MindHacker9009:
■ Okay so Jonah was just unlucky like your oats that was why the lot fell on Jonah while on the ship. Is thinking like that not brain damage.

Kobojunkie:
I really don't follow... Jonah was trying to run away from God. The men who cast lots were not even mentioned to have been of Hebrew descent nor is it indicated that they served God of Israel. The story instead says they resorted to playing Rock-Paper-scissors in order to decide which of them was responsible for the storm they were having to deal with. And the lot fell on Jonah who at that time was already racked with guilt. Jonah is said to have confessed to being guilty too. So how luck take enter when Jonah was a servant of the most high meaning his destiny was ruled over by God Himself?

Again, your best bet hear is instead showing that playing Rock-Paper-scissors is decreed sin by God, not all these desperate attempts at casting it down when God is said to have even suggested it be used by the High Priest in the Land? Jesus Christ never told His followers that it is sin to cast lost or to vote, so, not sure why you are desperate to make an issue where there is none.

How does your response above relate to the below:

So you mean the apostles who walked with the Jesus Christ throughout his ministry and saw Him again after His fake resurrection did not understand that things have changed. Dey play.

For your information casting of lots involves divination. If not you mean Jonah was just unlucky to have been picked to be responsible causing the troubled sea that was going to wreck the ship?

Kobojunkie:
It seems you are so desperate to have this play out according to your own script there....again.... My rice & oats situation may be left to time and chance --or mood--- which happens to everyone but the decision whether a servant of the most high lives or dies dependent on luck?.

LordReed:


Really? The holy spirit drives pagan practices?

MightySparrow:



The apostles chose Mattias, Jesus chose Saul of Tarsus.

Ever since no more casting of lots but 'thus saith the Holy Spirit '

Your problem is not reading the Bible to understand the teachings but to criticize.
All you will ever see is confusion.

LordReed:


The OP quoted the book of Jonah and my question is was that outcome also driven by the holy spirit according to you?

MindHacker9009:


If they had not cast lot which involves pagan divination to select Mattias then they would have selected another Judas which would have led to real confussion for them.

MindHacker9009:


So when a referee tosses a coin, to you the referee is casting a lot. Why are followers of the invented Jesus Christ so deceptive when the truth is put right in front of them?

Steep:

Casting lots is one of the ways humans use to determine outcomes, it could religious or non religious.
In the ancient times the outcome of lots was attributed to the gods however the outcome could be determined by the true God or evil spirit.
Casting lots is not pagan but was adopted by pagans instead.

MightySparrow:


I concur Sir!

MightySparrow:
The Op get certain things wrong. Casting lot or throwing fleece was not strange to Judaism. Gideon used it. Urim and Thumim may have been used same way.

However, the apostles didn't understand that things have changed. Holy Spirit was now the driver not fleece or casting of lots.
