Is God Interested In Sports, Especially Football? by amefi(m): 10:28pm On Jul 12, 2010
I have no doubts that sports are indeed very interesting and engaging physical exercises, especially football, except to the Americans (soccer). But the question now 'IS OUR ALMIGHTY GOD' in support of sports (football)? I'm left with no options than to say that God is not interested and so does not influence the outcomes of football games organized by bodies like FIFA, UEFA, EFA, NFA ETC. Many reasons could be adduced to this claim of mine. One of such is what has become a phenomenon, that is, Mr Octopus Paul predicting the outcome of a match and would be, That automatically proves that is it more of worldly (carnal event) and influenced by some forces from the dark(the gods of this world). The other reason is that it is fast becoming a plot by the gods of this world to manipulate some feeble christians from getting rooted in the things of God. This is because i have seen many christians in the middle of a Sunday or week day service, leave the church all to go and watch a football match, call it premiership, la liga, bundesliga, etc. I doubt if God will be happy while some people do this. This is my opinion,constructive criticisms are highly welcome. Please comment.

God is interested in one (1) thing, a soul that repents!

God is interested in everything and in everyone under the sun, spirituality, sports, people, events and activities including mama-gee and all her over 10,000 posts grin

The only thing is that he rarely influences things, else you will not be making this thread and mama-gee will have less than 100 posts grin

Big lie! God is interested in everything, and God watches whatever we all watch. Name it, and God watches it. Everything under the sun.

God can be interested in it, at least the brains that invented it were created by God. but God cannot be interested in competitive sports because the bible clearly shows that God wants us to love each other at all times. in competitive sports, that cannot be possible.


luv,
small man.

AT LAST, SOMEONE IS BEGINNING TO SEE THINGS IN A WAY THAT I PERCEIVE THEM. I HAVE HEARD THAT NFA WERE EMPLOYING SOME JUJU PRIESTS FOR THEM (SUPER EAGLES) TO WIN MATCHES DURING THE NATIONS/WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS. THERE WERE RUMURS IN THE PAST THAT IVORY COAST WERE EMPLOYING   SOME FETISH MEANS TO INFLUENCE NATIONS CUP MATCH OUTCOMES, ESPECIALLY IN THE 90S.

I WANT SOMEONE TO PLEASE TELL ME THE CONNECTION OF OCTOPUS PREDICTIONS OF WORLD CUP MATCHES AND GETTING THEM RIGHT WITH GOD. SOMEBODY SHOULD THINK OOOOOOOOOOO,

I agree with you. He is interested in everything under the sun. Organic and inorganic. Else He would not have control or know things that are effects of football, for example.

God is very interested in both the Souls that Perish in Hell and the ones that make it to Heaven.

1: Lost Souls are recycled in the cosmic generator that fuels God's infinite powers (that is why he loves China so much)
2: Redeemed Souls are simply used to massage his infinite ego
