Jesus doesn't say anything about gambling in the New Testament. ....God is the decider of all outcomes. He doesn't bet and neither should you, Moonglow.
Not a single one of those verses mention the issue of gambling.Gambling is a sin. Read this:

Try again .....
Again, when did Jesus ever specifically forbid gambling? .....What is ill gotten gain? Look it up.
I personally knew a very upright Christian man who won 10 million dollars in the lottery.I've never seen anyone who didn't have trouble after winning through gambling.
...........^^^^ All of the above is totally incorrect. ....In the meantime as you desired to discuss this along the lines of what is in the Bible - I do understand that according to Islam cheating, (trickery) lies, deception are all permissible according to the one you call your prophet. (Mohammad) Providing the trickery, lies, deception is used by a Muslim against a non Muslim. So according to your religion - I suppose gambling would also be permissible.
It's an American sport, FJO. If there is a team cheating? They need to be confronted. Now that they have been confronted - let the game go forward - doubt there will be an issue with anything deflated in the future. Other than the ego of the Patriot team
after they lose to the Seahawks.
Sports are a entertaining distraction so it has its' place in society. Change the football? Blasphemy! How would they throw it? I would like to see some changes though, like no timeouts unless there's an injury. No half time. Micro-managing penalties is getting out of hand. Watching a 1 hour game in 3 hours is tedious, I usually watch recorded. But the Superbowl must be seen live, at least the commercials are better!The world is in flames. Terrorism threatens peace everywhere. Wages are stagnant. More people on food stamps than ever. Riots because of false perceptions of justice. Hundreds of young blacks dieing by other young blacks. Political correctness running amok from the White House to the sewer of Al Sharplatan.
Yet Americans waste time by arguing about air pressure in a ball used in a game that is the symbol of crude brutality.
Make that ball out of rubber so air pressure would no longer be an issue. Kind of similar to a baseball.
Or, better still, change the shape and use a ball like all normal sports (golf, soccer, ping pong, tennis, billiards, volley ball, basket ball and bowling) use: Round.
Don't bother asshole. Everyone here is doing the laughing at you for themselves.I like football and hockey the best. I really enjoy violent sports, I suppose.
I'm not really hung up on any sport. I have only prayed about a Superbowl once and a horse race once before and that was because I knew they were lifting up that horse like an idol. I forget his name now but he lost too. He was from California I believe. And the one I asked for to win? He won. I forget his name too! lol! That's awful. Isn't it? Lord have mercy. I have to laugh at myself.
'Please God' make this stupid bitch go away before I puke. Thanks Pal. If you ever need me to do you a favor let me know the 'usual' way and I'll see if I can fit you in.Jeri, I don't think God would care about football. It is for entertainment purposes and really doesn't have much effect on our real lives, thankfully.That's why I love soccer instead
meh
No. I did my research. The Seahawks have done right. They are not breaking any rules and their players are on the up and up. God will reward them for that. You heard it here first. At USMB. Because USMB? Gets the news first!!
Nope, the Patriots are going to bury them.
I'm sorry, Chris. But they won't be winning this game. I have already asked for a 10 point lead for the Seahawks. Because 10 is the number of judgment. I told my husband does he think that can happen? He laughed and said, I don't know. God is pretty particular about you. (me)
So I reckon it's settled. I'll get the 10 point lead. Thanks for joining in the discussion, Chris. I like you but your team is going to lose.
Well I asked for the Patriots to win.
Well God didn't tell me anything. I just asked and am believing I've received my request. By faith. You can't please God without faith, you know.
The most important thing is to please God.

They don't throw 50 yard passes in water polo as far as I know. Just watch soccer and be happy.How would they throw a ROUND ball? Have you ever seen a water polo match? If they can throw and receive a round ball in 10 feet of water surely they could throw and catch a ROUND ball on hard ground unless they are stuck in a mode of stupid.
Read the book, "The Life of Muhammad by A. Guillaume published by Oxford University Press in 1955. It's all in there - the earliest biography of Mohammad confirms what I've said. Also in the constitution of Medina, when Mohammad and his followers migrated to Mecca (622 A.D.) he wrote, "A believer shall not slay a believer for the sake of an unbeliever, nor shall he aid an unbeliever against a believer.....Believers are friends one to the other to the exclusion of outsiders..... The believers must avenge the blood of one another shed in the way of Allah. I'm fairly certain as a Sunni Muslim you are aware of the Sahih Al-Burkhari, 9 volumes and the hadiths that permit the use of lies, trickery to deceive the "non Muslim" - those you would refer to as Infidels............^^^^ All of the above is totally incorrect. ....In the meantime as you desired to discuss this along the lines of what is in the Bible - I do understand that according to Islam cheating, (trickery) lies, deception are all permissible according to the one you call your prophet.

And to think, all I did was ask you to provide a NT bible verse where Jesus specifically condemns gambling? .....Read the book, "The Life of Muhammad by A.

I 100% believe the quaterback and the coach. I don't doubt some overzealous ball-boy did the deflating.

BREAKING! Just got a heads up on email. The dude in Nigeria who I bought the video tape of Bush and Cheney planting the bombs under the Twin Towers is offering a new tape showing Bush deflating those footballs. Anyone want to go 'havers'?

Today I heard the news that the Patriots have once again been up to no good. Cheating again!? Last time I got involved in praying about a game was in 2007 when the Patriots were caught spying against the Giants before the Superbowl game and I asked God to give the Giants a 3 point lead and beat them and He did. Eli Manning caught a football on his helmet which made it even more of a miracle. Today I hear that the New England Patriots have done it again. This time deflating footballs. So once again I am praying for their opponent to beat them. Their opponent? The Seattle Seahawks. I believe the Seahawks are going to win! Big time!
So in light of this breaking news that just came out.............who do you want to win Superbowl XLIX? Cast your votes! Thanks!
Here's the article on the Patriots deflating footballs and a call to disqualify them:
The Patriots should be disqualified from the Super Bowl For The Win
Deflating 11 of 12 balls in Sunday’s game, as has been reported by ESPN, is a major violation and something that had a great affect on the game. Given the number of deflated balls, it’s almost impossible this was accident, meaning that someone in the New England organization willfully tampered with the rules to give his team an advantage. That’s cheating.
The penalty should be simple: Ban ‘em.

I want them to be permitted to play. Let the LORD settle this score! He knows how to do it best!
