Loismustdie 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Well ill tell you what lois, You follow the good book and wait your life away until Judgement day comes. Me? Im gonna enjoy my life, because its the only one thats given to me. Untill then, THIS THREAD HAS GONE ON WAY TO LONG AND IS NOW HI-JACKED BY THE NEWEST MEMBER OF FCPPC That is the best argument I have heard so far- heres a guy who realizes that it truly is not for everyone, it never has been. I take offense to the connotation that I don't enjoy life, though- my life is a blast. As far as Hi- jacking the thread you can try- you would think it would have been moved by now but I think that DN likes these little religous debates on some level- really, it makes for some interesting insite on the different mindsets of people that post here. I'm suprised Kowboy Koop hasn't shown up yet with some off the wall rant. Link to post Share on other sites

GhostfaceKillah 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 What exactly makes me a simpleton? In the glory days of Ancient Greece, they believed in the multiple gods "who controlled the land" . Now, ancient religions is not something imvery Knowledgable in. However, i do know that these people relied believed heavily in their faith and their lives revolved around it. My question to you sir is, what happened to this faith now. They were compelled by these gods that they prayed too. Yet, these gods were just as much a figment of imagination as the religions today. My opinion will not persuade you, and i wouldnt want it too. My opinons are mine alone. But i see some people who dedicate their lives to these beliefs and all I see is a waste of life. Link to post Share on other sites

Is Idaho's father really a preacher? I think she just got even hotter, if that was possible.3. This topic should not be discussed anymore; there are too many topics exactly like this one, with too many posts by people arguing against people dead-set in their ways. Nothing gets accomplished.4.

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 He claims to be a Christian, but do Christians live the poker lifestyle like DN? I have seen him talk about drinking, partying, and we all know he likes to gamble. DN's lifestyle would not be considered "Christian" by anyone with a little knowledge of the Bible. To be a true Christian, you must convey the Christian lifestyle, something which I believe DN is not doing.Discuss, my community college minions.1.Gambling: First of all, for the record, I don't even gamble really. I play poker for a living. By your definition, a stock broker, entrepreneur, or most other businessmen would be gamblers in that the outcome of there decisions isn't certain. I have searched and searched the Bible for anything that might allude to gambling being immoral. It's not there. There is only one verse where Jesus is upset because people were gambling in a house of worship and turned the church into a market. In fact, God made a wager himself! Granted, it was a wager he wasn't going to lose, but according to the book of Job, God made a bet with Satan. Job was a God fearing man, and Satan bet that he could get him to turn on God. God agreed to let Satan try as he might, but of course despite Job losing everything and being upset about the situation, he never lost his faith in God. I have absolutely no qualms with what I do for a living and I don't think any true Christian should. Besides, the most valuable lesson I learned from the New Testament is that we aren't to push our own personal convictions on others. 2. Alcohol: Becoming a drunkard is sinful, just as overeating can be sinful. If you destroy your body by overeating. or allow alcohol to become a problem in your life, the Bible clearly states that it's something you need to get control of. Alcohol in itself it not at all sinful. If it were, then why on Earth would Jesus himself help to keep a party going by turning water into wine? Jesus would not have contributed to sin, so from that you should see that Jesus obviously didn't have a problem with people drinking wine. As far as partying goes, celebrating good times is EXACTLY what we should be doing! Enjoying each other’s company and being good to each other. There is a notion amongst many that to be a Christian you have to be, "boring." I would suggest you read a book mostly for men called, "Wild at Heart," which helps explain that we are adventurers by nature. Not timid, weak, quiet, or boring, but ferociously wild adventurers!3. The Christian Lifestyle: I can see that you feel as though you have a clear vision as to what it means to be a Christian and the way a Christian is to behave. True, we are supposed to follow the laws of the New Testament, but above all else, we are to love each other as brothers and leave the judgment of others for God. God understands that we are all sinners and will screw up all the time. The debt for those sins has already been paid. The goal for all of us is to simply, "Do our best," to live without sin. We couldn't possibly live sin free lives, as we are sinners by nature. Only Jesus was able to live a sinless life on Earth. As for me, I know that there are several things I need to be mindful of. Certain things convict me more than others: Pride, and not judging others are probably the two things that I pray about most, but it's different for everybody. Not everyone is convicted by the same things. For some people, drugs may be their weakness and it would be smart of them to avoid being around others who use. For others, drugs is not a concern for them at all. In fact, I know a lot of people that do illegal drugs and it doesn't bother me to be around them. I am not convicted by drugs. I've never done an illegal drug in my life and it's just not something that tempts me. *********************************************************************** It saddens me a little bit that the way I behave or represent myself to you doesn't come across as "Christian." Perhaps I need to do more to show people how strong my faith is. I'll look at your post as a wake up call! What I will say in my defense, though, is that I think it's important that you focus on the right things. Not what I drink, or what I do for a living, but how I treat others. How I represent myself to others. How do I do as a husband, brother, son, or a friend to others. Love is what God is all about. Religion, well that's all about rules and God has little interest in much of that craziness. Link to post Share on other sites

kouta43 0 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 i like your response DN, sounds very down to earth. You place religion as a moral code far above the intricacies (sp) of religous law.

lolita21 0 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Rob,First you are on the wrong forum. I'm sure there are a number of preaching forums that you could join.Second, skilled poker is not gambling in the traditional since, any more than Tiger Woods gambles when he plays golf, top backgammon players gamble when they play, etc. Third, you are attacking a man who gave me his time and advice at a critical point in my poker career in which I probably would have given up the game had it not been for him. (Daniel, I'm sure you have no memory of the long ago email regarding the LOP 04 hand, but your advice meant the world to me. Hopefully I'll get to meet you at a WPT event at some point to thank you.)Finally, though my knowledge of the bible is admittedly limited, I recall something about Jesus turning the water into wine. Alcohol is not a "sin" in most "christians" views.Please save your attack for someone who is not considered an icon by virtually everyone in the poker community, as well as many who have never played a hand of poker. Personally someone who treats his mother with great respect, his animals with all his love, and has now married his great love does not merit your insults.lolita21 Link to post Share on other sites
