Sorry, my understanding of Scripture is that we are not to make wagers.
I know the Roman Catholics have long cloaked gambling under the guise of good works, but this Calvinist don’t play that.
Game,
First it is a contest - I am not betting on your failing - I am paying another for your specific performance - that is a huge difference, and would only be consider3ed a wager in your mind.
My offer is a compensation for your performance of a deed which does not depend on chance and which is paid to someone else.
Also a wager is placing money which will pay back to your funds based on certain odds.
#1 you are not wagering any money
#2 the winnings will not be paid back to you but to FR
#3 there are no odds to this - if fact from what I have heard from your compatriots you can’t lose.
#4 I specifically structured it so that under no circumstances could it be considered a wager.
#5 I think that now you are afraid that you are going to lose.
What say you other protestants is this contest a wager?
It is designed to raise money for FreeRepublic and
