Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24445952 How is winning the lottery walking through a door? Of all things it's perhaps one of the easiest ways to get money in terms of effort. God showing the door and giving you the keys would be something like you inheriting land out of the blue, but it's wasteland and up to you to turn into something productive. |

He can provide that money in any way He wants. He can provide by a job, a loan, or a gift. He can use anything to do His will. When I needed money for something, He told me to put a bracelet that I had on ebay, and I did. It sold in 24 hours. Gave me enough money to buy the wood stove that I needed for my home. This person was a faithful friend of God's long before. He spent much time with God, twice a day. When he needed help, God helped him with what he needed. God is good and He will take care of His faithful people, people that spend time with Him everyday even when they don't need anything. God knows who His friends are.

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." The "eye of a needle" has been claimed to be a gate in Jerusalem, which opened after the main gate was closed at night. A camel could only pass through this smaller gate if it was stooped and had its baggage removed. This story has been put forth since at least the 15th century, and possibly as far back as the 9th century. However, there is no evidence for the existence of such a gate.[3][4] Variations on this story include that of ancient inns having small entrances to thwart thieves, or a story of an old mountain pass known as the "eye of the needle", so narrow that merchants would have to dismount from their camels and were thus were more vulnerable to waiting brigands. There is no historical evidence for any of these, either. Cyril of Alexandria claimed that "camel" is a Greek misprint; that kamêlos (camel) was a misprint of kamilos, meaning "rope" or "cable".[2][5] However evidence for such a Greek term is weak, there is little or no Greek manuscript support, and it goes against the standard principle of textual criticism that errors tend to happen towards the easier reading, not against it. -Heed the warning or endure the mourning Favor ain't fair |

Through a job. I agree, He is not about money. However, He knows in advance who can handle money and who can't. Years ago, before coming to God, I had received an annual bonus of $3k. Within a few days, an ice storm hit and damaged some big trees on my property. Total bill was around $2,900. The old me said "see, I can never keep any money!!" and I was so depressed. The new me now says "Aha! He KNEW I would need that money, so that I wouldn't go in the hole!" |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8594088 United States 09/26/2012 10:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So a guy prays to "God" and just happens to win the lottery. Yet millions of people are murdered, raped, downtrodden, treated like saves... Where is the help for them? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5739241 I think he just got lucky. How many people play the lottery who are nearly broke and ask God for them to win? Right... Satan uses tricks to deceive. By having men who destroy in this world, some then claim God can't exist. Because, if there is suffering, "God can't be real". You really need to read His Word with the Spirit's help. God tells us that sometimes righteous people die in order to spare them from coming evil. It's all about your soul. |

Apparently so. Faith is an article of convenience. It explains to the Christian everything that they want to hear and believe about their faith, even when all evidence and mathematics contradicts their beliefs and findings. To them, that ONE Christian who won the lottery versus the millions that lost and continue to lose, is verification of a collective belief that God was the vehicle in which this would occur. So, even if there was only ONE Christian who had ever won the lottery in the history of mankind, it would be PROOF POSITIVE that this was the work of God and nothing else.
