We're still reviewing the sermon against poker which was posted by a Seventh-Day Adventist minister. We're going through it verse by verse, as a Bible study. It's becoming clear we're going to need our own lengthy article to give a full response -- as opposed to a simple blog post.
For now, we'll start with this. Yes, the Ten Commandments say, "Thou salt not steal." (Exodus 20:15) And yes, poker players talk of "stealing pots."
Does that mean our minister wants Christians to avoid ALL sports where stealing takes place? Is he against baseball? Football (interceptions)? What about basketball -- where an Adventist college's varsity team seems to support players stealing the ball?
Much more is coming on this.... stay tuned.
