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

Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam

[Gamecock]

Money exchanges hands. It’s is a wager.

I hear that These Guys are looking to hire a fifth...

Concerning your challenge, I went to one sermon from Pastor Robert Morris, Gateway Church in Dallas and counting 30 verses he explored in his first sermon in the Free Indeed series.

The Scriptures he quoted include John 8:36, Mark 5:1-20; Matt 17:8, Mark 3:14-15, John 10:1, Lamentations 1:10 and 4:12, Luke 10:7-17.

There were 21 verses by my count in today's Daily Mass Readings. The Scriptures were Daniel 3:14020, 91-92, 95 and John 8:31-42.

Of course, the Protestant style is not a straight forward reading of Scriptures as I have experienced in Mass but rather a preaching/study.

Any hoot, that's one for your consideration.
