Are they at odds with one another?

I.e. u can't play poker and justify being a Christian

Just after having a lively debate...

I am struggling with this one...loads of this kinda question on another popular American forum

Any god fearing poker playing Christians care to share their thoughts....would be interesting to hear...

Cheers

Like most religions, the majority make it fit, whether it does or doesn't, and the remainder are fanatical *****

I've come across wildly varying views tbh, I think its more down to the individual than the religion as such. My family are all strong catholics and they don't give a monkeys and have a punt now and again. On the other hand with my ex's family I couldn't even mention it with them as they were really against it.............

There is no part of the bible that states that gambling is illegal or immoral.

But there are obviously many aspects of gambling that clash with certain passages.

There are no parts that forbid the use of condoms, giving blood or donating organs, etc., but some christian churches feel very strongly about these issues. 

Many passages of the bible talk of a god who uses genocide and supports the idea of racial superiority - playing cards shouldn't really be a problem in light of that.

Must admit that often when I gamble I feel as though something has clashed with one of my passages.

Don't play on the sabbath though - that'll upset Jesus.

lol..organ donation being mentioned in the bible would be a bit unlikely, no?
