Message: [QUOTE="Pokerstudent, post: 1632712, member: 53113"] Was thinking that I might have a conversation with my pastor about this. Note: Non-religious people tune out for a minute. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only real time Jesus got upset about the gambling was when they did it in the sanctuary. So he was ticked, cause that's HIS HOUSE! I'd be ticked too if I came home and people were playing poker in my house without permission. Other than that, I believe it falls under the same category as ...say drinking. Think it says in the Bible (if you believe what it says) that doing things to excess that is the issue. Drink, but don't drink to excess. I would assume that excess is where it starts to negatively impact your life. You would have to decide that for yourself. But given that everyone who plays should be playing EITHER for entertainment or to make money, there shouldn't be an issue if you're a christian. Just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
