Do you think God partook in the giving of 3 million Dollors to the church?

Question

the Church says they prayed and some on dropped a 3 million dolor lottery ticket in the offering. They are like thank you God for the money.

Now here is the question do you think God gambles? So now here is a church founded on what he hates? As we all know Jesus was kicking gamblers out of the temple in a rage frenzy.....but now he gambles to bring the church money. So they say.

if that was me I would have chucked the ticket out and say to God do not use the devil to fund your church.

it story is on yahoo.com news.

Answer 1

What's a DOLLOR and why would God give 3 million of them to a church?

Answer 2

huh well ...........................................

Answer 3

So God cheats on a game that is considered blasphemous...

Answer 4

You`re the proverbial guy on the roof in a flood who watches 2 boats and a helicopter go right by him while waiting for God to save him...

Answer 5

Jesus didn't kick gamblers out of the church. Moneychangers and dove sellers, but not gamblers.

Answer 6

That's exactly what I was thinking when I heard this.

How can they accept a donation that came from something that is so sinful?  

Especially when it's not even in cash, it's the lottery ticket itself.

I doubt God had anything to do with the outcome of the ticket.

He cannot alter what is already on the tickets.

Kinda dumb.

Answer 7

Oh boy... God isn't the source of everything "good" that happens

Answer 8

I do think God partook in this because the bible says the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous.

Answer 9

It is a lot of conflict around gambling when it come to the church.Personally I say that it was a major blessing.Many good things can be done with that money.Kids can be fed as well as grown ups,many can be clothed this winter.It was a blessing .I believe that depending on how you look at it goes according with the relationship you have with The Lord.

Answer 10

No. God would have settled for not 10 but %20 percent.The guy can not buy his way into heaven. He is in for a surprise when God says "Hey,knucklehead.I gave you that ticket to ease your life.What are you ...a moron?"

Answer 11

I suppose by the law of averages some church, would eventually win a lottery.

Answer 12

The Pastor joked he needed several million dollars.

A member gives the Church what was needed.

That, my friend, is no joke.

Our God is an Awesome God!

God love you!

Answer 13

You know its definitely God. This church had a huge ministry, and the money was given to someone that God had chosen. If you see it as a form of gambling, look at the good that produced from it. Having greed for your own glory in gambling is the sin. He gave this money back for the glory of God.  

Answer 14

No, but I bet you that drunken fool has turned the haven and earth upside down looking for that ticket

Answer 15

I couldn't even imagine the Church would get rid of the ticket if they thought it was from the Devil himself, because they are already possessed by greed

Love & Blessings

Answer 16

Another way of looking at it is that it is all His money anyway.  

Who knows?  Maybe the person realized they shouldn't have been gambling and put the ticket in the plate because they felt guilty.

Answer 17

The Bible also says the silver and gold belongs to God, so this money is God's before it became the lottery win and after.

It is his money and he took it for the church, which is his power to do.
