Rook can be played the same way the 2 games are almost the same the difference is the markings on the cards. The way a lot of people play life may well be a sin
Is it OK for our churches to have Christmas trees, bingo games, or Easter egg hunts?ts,

I agree with you, because God and Jesus agree with you.
Several verses come to mind.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
How do you NOT OBEY the gospel of God? Some of you will know what the scriptures say and some of you will know what your church taught you.
Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
What are man-made traditions? How do these man-made traditions make the word of God of none effect? Traditions are most often fun, and bring together family and friends. So how does that make the word of God of none effect? It doesn't, UNLESS you have add or diminished from the TORAH (INSTRUCTIONS/LAWS). All the Christians I know, do not keep the LORD's Feasts (See Leviticus 23).
Are you aware of the Greek term for tradition? Let me show you something very interesting for all to consider.
Strong's G3862 παράδοσις
π(pi=80) + α(alpha=1) + ρ(Rho=100) + ά(alpha=1) + δ(Delta=4) + ο(Omicron=70) + σ(Sigma=200) + ι(iota=10) + ς(Sigma=200) = 666 (man's number)
paradosis
par-ad’-os-is
From G3860; transmission, that is, (concretely) a precept; specifically the Jewish traditionary law: - ordinance, tradition.
the gender confusing markers probably sent the wrong message.Yeah, I wonder what is sinful about Bingo... .
I'm just teasing. It's hard to find people today who even play pinochle.
this is a thought towards the Muslim Mosque having activities.
does one believe they have a once a month husband/wife gathering where the 70 year old men with their 8 year old wives dance to r kelly's bump n grind on the rugs of allah?

And here I was thinking Bingo was a way for seniors to rest their wearied worn out limbs while
having a little bit of harmless social fun. Thank God my own church has not degenerated into
the sinful practice of Bingo! Then again, I am older than many/most among our congregants.
But you say, church building. We do not meet in a church building, either. Home-based Bible
studies also. And we have been known to serve coffee. Coffee is not Biblical. Is that sinful, too?
My late husband was top notch player. It was his game . Not me I could not even keep up with partners double deck.

a depends on of your coveting that B9
I'm glade the Wise Men didn't have you to teach them..........
Right! There is a difference between astronomy and astrology. Satan loves to distort the Creators creations and their original purpose, which by the way, are still their purposes.
This screenshot is from Stellarium (a free awesome app). The date is 9/11/3BC (-2). This is Jesus' birthdate on 1st day of 7th month - Feast of Trumpets.
You might recall or do a google for September 23, 2017 and that the sign "once again" shows the Revelation 12 description. Here is what that looked like.
We are speaking about using bingo in the church as a way to praise and worship God. It is to instruct us about the kingdom of God. Are you suggesting that bingo is a fine way to do that?Yeah, I wonder what is sinful about Bingo... .

What is wrong with you?
Who plays bingo anymore?
No one ever attempted to make bingo about praise and worship or to instruct about God, ever on this earth.
It was only ever just a way or reason for old church ladies to meet up at the church and socialize with eachother. Much like any of the other numerous ways to get church folks to hangout together at the church.
