Dealer: Genesis1 wins Main Pot ($1,770) with Three of a kind, deuces
Me: Lo it was very good
Me: (Gen. 1:31)
Our conversation with "Genesis1" didn't get much beyond this. But his/her name comes from the first book and chapter of the Bible, where we find this:
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day. - Genesis 1:31
An interesting phrase -- "very good." Why didn't God make the creation of heaven and earth perfect? After all, don't we read in other places....
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless.... - Psalm 18:30
Not to mention:
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. - Matthew 5:48
Plenty of poker players dream of getting "the perfect hand." But of course, the definition of that hand probably varies by player. So let's ask a couple of questions, open for your comments:
1. What is the "perfect hand" in poker to you - and why?
2. Why do you think God only made the creation "very good"?
Our answers will follow yours, in a future post.
