l have, and have only come up with Palpatine, Snoke Dooku. Who are the other two? Since someone is calling on a demon, l am willing to bet that a lightsaber can cut a demon in two, what do you think TMM

Yes he did. When Luke 1st met Yoda, the craft that brought luke to the planet, sank into the swamp. Luke could not get it out with the force he turned to Yoda said you ask the impossible Yoda lifted it, and luke turned to yoda said l can't believe it .. and yoda mentioned That line -TMM.

To err is human, to forgive divine. All people commit sins and make mistakes. God forgives them, and people are acting in a godlike (divine) way when theyforgive.

Can't you just forgive and forget?

What wrong can be found with what l posted, did l misquote, where what? But what l post, irritates some people, so where does the error lie, with my post?

I have never come aross someone who claims to be Jewish, yet an alleged expert on Christianity. Of course Christians are aware of the transformation in the disciples after the resurrection. Most non-orthodox Jews are not exactly religious as well or obsessed with Christianity.

A number of lp people theorize this expert person was born on another continent and that is evident from his grammatical errors. If this person is so uncomfortable having someone say something was the Christian thing to... [ More ]

Exactly CT. All l am saying is, when it comes to any religion, is that there are good and bad people within its ranks. Get this, in 1937 the Chancellor of Germany challenged his people to love their neighbors, to care for the poor and sick, and to take a stand against violence- know who said those words? Adolf Hitler, and look how he turned out. There was even infighting amongst Christ's own disciples for prominence. Take Peter: I am ready to die with you Lord, yet denies Jesus 3 times. Looking...

While I agree giving the clerk a piece of the pie is a Christian thing to do, but nowhere in the article or video does it mention the winner's religion if any. So why did turn into a religious debate

Let's not forget the Husseins and Mohammeds buying their lottery tickets and booze in direct violation of the quran. Those people would run you over for their booze and tickets.

Kinda reminded me of the account where Jesus fed the crowd with 5 loaves 2 fishes. It says that when the crowd heard Jesus was on a boat heading across the water they hightailed and when they got to the other side they asked when did you get here? He's response was, you showed up not because you interested in what l have to say, but because you were fed.

noise-gate,

In a church I went to there was a woman who always talked about how big a role hospitality played in Biblical times.

So one day I asked he if maybe it wasn't just hospitality but as long as people were feeding guests who were sitting across the table from them they knew no one was out back stealing any livestock

There's an actual law on the books in Ireland that if a leprechaun shows up at your door you have to feed it.

l don't know about that either. According to some in the forum, only Christians do good deeds - well, just look at the Crusades, the Spanish acquisitions, however, l digress. The Sikh religion stresses that a table of food be set aside for the hungry, in other words, if you knock on the door of any Sikh home say you hungry- you will leave fed. I seriously doubt such actions can be expected in any Christian home, although you MAY get a meal. This is not Christian bashing, just facts. The other th... [ More ]

I'll call this a 'feel good' story although in a thread about tipping clerks most people responding to it were very opposed to doing it.

It's also really ironic that after the frenzy of the $750 million (actually $758+M) jackpot this story about $50,000 winners is now the lead story in the Lottery news.

You make some good points.

This being a gambling forum, if we were to place wagers as to what religion they identified with, I'd play it safe and bet Christian, given what I know of Oklahoma's demographics.

Are you for real? Being well groomed and taking pride in your appearance does not make you a millionaire. It has been my experience that the wealthier someone is, the more likely they are to dress more casual.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

The video was very short and didn't say how much they gave.

I suppose that whatever it was, it was a nice gesture. Congrats on the win.

Just imagine if the ticket was purchased with Powerplay.

About Catholic Priests. It has been said that if the Catholic Church ever totally failed it would be because of the Priests. But God loves his Church. Do not deny the Power of God.

Here in America there are many denominations of Christianity. We do have disagreements.

There is that person in the New Testament who stopped and saved a stranger who was beaten and robbed while the Priest, Rabbi, and others walked by and ignored the poor person. The Good Samaritan.

We agree to disagree... [ More ]

I don't know about that, if they were good Christians according to a lot of good Christians, they wouldn't be playing the lottery. I've played the lottery all over this country and in other countries and Oklahoma and Texas were the two places where the Christians, especially the Christian clerks are very against the lottery and visibly indignant when you play, sometimes even making comments; in fact Texas doesn't even have any drawings on Sunday. There are many churches that are against the lott... [ More ]

Judging by his mannerisms and how well groomed he is, he looks like he's the owner and not just a clerk. Dude is probably a multi-millionaire and owns 4 stores. LOL. At least he can gas up his million dollar 45 foot Prevost now.

Really enjoy feel good stories like these. So nice of them to give some of the money to the clerk.

Funny thing person who refused the ticket will never know, hidden Karma there. (Maybe individual was hateful?), we'll never know.

That was real nice of the couple. MY wife and I always try to tip the clerks who sell us winning scratch offs or whatever as long as the store's policy allows it.

What would you do if you hit it big with the lottery?

Many people often dream about paying off debt, going on vacation or helping others if they suddenly struck it rich.

Now, an Oklahoma couple is putting their money where their mouths are.

Officials with the Oklahoma Lottery say that a couple recently won a $50,000 Powerball drawing when they purchased a misprinted ticket that someone else didn't want.

Earlier this week, the couple surprised the clerk that s... [ More ]
