  hey

  God is betting because he said to Satan: You may have 1000 years (or something like that) to ; i don't know how to say that. - to ( just like admam and eve ).

  God is betting, am i right?

  Then again god says in the bible that betting is a bad thing.

  Doesn't that make him a Liar. God is a LIAR.

  Am I right? correct me if I am not.

  Oh, yeah, I call the whole "Satan challenged god's sovreignty, so god has to let Satan "f" everything up for thousands of years " The "cosmic bar bet theory." I think Heinlein may have created that phrase. I understand what you are talking about! I agree.

  That's a sick game allright, letting billions of people suffer pointless lifes and horrible deaths just to prove a point. Weird when you think about it... however I do not recall the bible saying anything about betting or other forms of gambling...

  Take a look at these texts:

• Numbers 26:52-56 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying ... the land shall be divided by lot.
• Joshua 14:2 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
• Joshua 18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
• Joshua 19:51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD.
• Joshua 21:8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
• 1 Chr.26:13-14 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate. And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
• Nehemiah 10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God.
• Acts 1:23-26 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen.... And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

See, there was some heavy betting going on in those days.....
