why don't psychics and preachers win the lottery

[Katzndogz]

Preachers don't win the lottery because they know that God is not a Genie in a bottle that can be commanded at the will of a Man.

Oh yes, Priests and Nuns do encourage gambling, lol. I won $3000 at casino night at my church one year. Reverse raffle, 300 tickets in the drum and mine was the last to be pulled.

Yeah.

Preachers don't win the lottery for the same reasons I don't.....the odds are from 15,000,000 to 1.............to 175,000,000 to 1. Anybody who doesn't understand that has their head up their arse.

True preachers are not likely to play. I have no idea what excuse a psychic might have.

why don't psychics and preachers win the lottery

Just asking

Why don't Presidents, SCOTUS and congresspersons win the lottery?
Why don't CEO's of Fortune 500 companies win the lottery?
Why do CNN employees win twice?

Why do psychics require you to make an appointment? Shouldn't they know you're going to pay them a visit?

Ahhhh, it has to do with quantum entanglement. When a psychic or a seer foresees a lottery ball the mere act of seeing that future changes the quantum physics of the lottery ball and a different number results.

As to the men of cloth, this world is Satan's domain and money is Satan's tool. "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's."

You answered your own question. Why would you think a preacher would have any better chance of picking random numbers than you do?

But I do have to disagree about the wealth aspect. God has rewarded his followers with wealth since the beginning. He made some, wealthy beyond the pale, and wants his children to flourish financially. Sadly, we rarely ask his advice in our financial affairs. He thinks we should be rewarded to the extent that our last breath here on earth is our first breath at our coronation. Complete with gifts and treasures that He has been saving and adding to for us, because he loves the shit out of us.

Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of the needle, than it is for a rich man to get into Heaven. Mark 10:24-25.
In the day, cities were walled in and gated. When the gate was closed at night the only way in was through the needle, a slit in the city wall that a camel or ass could fit through if it was unencumbered. A wealthy man with camels laden with goods had to strip the camels down so they could get through and then make trips in and out of the needle to retrieve his goods. Excess baggage makes it difficult. And Christ knew that not money, but the love of it, can vex our soul, and becomes a God of its own. It was the rich man's love for his wealth that caused him to miss the opportunity of his life. He trusted his money more than he did Jesus.
OTOH, Christ's friend Joseph of Arimathea, was the richest man on the planet at the time, and that was fine with Christ, because Joseph loved God more than his money.

Here is proof God wants us to prosper. And the only time God tells us to put him to the test and see...
He said we owe him 10% of our income, RIGHT OFF THE TOP ONLY PLEASE! And that is tithe, NOT charity. IF you give Him more, (25% of the 10% more) he'll x the whole amount by 7 and send it right back! Test Him.....

Yeah....well the Catholic church has been collecting and hoarding fine art, jewels and gold for more than 1600 years. They can have their own lottery...or anything else they want.

Just asking

Why should preachers win the lottery? Do they claim to be able to predict the future?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Don't know about preachers, but w/r/t psychics, it's because all psi powers operate by altering probabilities, the alteration is always limited, and the chances of winning the lottery are so infinitessimally low to start with that no realistic amount of psi power can result in a decent chance of success.

Congratulations, you came up with an answer that actually made the question look intelligent.

Just asking

Preachers don't win because God does not do wealth and power. If you knew anything about Jesus you would already know the answer.

Psychics don't win because there are no psychics.

Joel Osteen preaches about wealth and how to get it all the time.

Joel Osteen is also wealthy.

Just saying.

Not as wealthy as the Catholic church. 'Course they've had over 1600 years to collect and hoard.

Sometimes if I am driving down the road and see a sign in front of a place that says, "Psychic Readings" or other such nonsense.

I will call the phone number that is on the sign and ask to speak to the psychic.

Then I will ask the psychic if they know tonight's Lottery numbers.

One actually told me that if she knew that. She would close up shop and retire.

But most just pepper me with foul language and hang up.

When I was a teen ager I used to fall for the shell game at carnivals, have my palm read, talk to god, imagine interplanetary travel or that I was having intercourse with Betty Grable, etc. Guess what...........I grew up and got over it. That's the problem with over half of the adults in this world right now....mentally they never grew up.
