If Singapore Pools don't discriminate you, you shouldn't discriminate Singapore Pools. -

i think your question should be rephased as should christian buy toto.if not sure any christian can wat,as long as they can find the toto outlet
-
Why is such an obvious question being asked? Of course cannot buy toto, because it's gambling.

No. I disagree. What is gambling? Its another branch of entertainment. And who are you to define what is the "better" entertainment around? To each his own. Greed only comes about when you cant get enough of something and you want more despite the fact that you already had your fair share. More ppl go into bankruptcy because of their bad credit card debts caused by shopping rather than gambling.Originally posted by Raptured:People gamble to get rich lah. Just like buying toto.

So you mean Christians can gamble? Bcos i give a scenario. A Christian is broke & is jobless, so can he gamble to get some money out of toto?Originally posted by shade343:No. I disagree.

The RF ID chip -
well let me ask you one question then..
Life itself is a gamble.Every move that you make,you are in fact gambling that it will turn out right since you never know the possible outcome,and such outcomes will eventually lead to some sort of monetary gain/loses (eg you decide to go into a certian career line and if successful,you become more afluence,if not there is the opportunity cost of not going into another career which u may have being successful in),so ain't this the same as gambling,a person buy toto hopping that it turn out right and he become more afluence,if not he loses his money which could have been used elsewhere.
So christian should all go die and meet their Jesus in heaven asap? Since they should not do anything as any move made is a gamble. -
But we are told in the bible that we dont worry abt food or drink or clothing bcos God will provide? So why cant God bless thru the toto?Originally posted by maggot:Cash and food don't drop from the sky -
