  • I am so glad that fool is going out of business and losing his building. What? Because he won't compromise his silly little morals on gambling one lousy dollar for a Lotto ticket? Give the money to the poor. They don't care where it comes from- they are grateful nonetheless. Silly fool.

  • Idiot. this is the best use of lottery winnings

  • it's called having integrity/values/etc., something most commenters don't understand.

  • This is just crazy!!..Here he is a Pastor, a man of God doing good work helping the poor ,feeding the hungry..and I know that he's been praying to God for help..and when God finally does help they reject his help ..how stupid can you be? You can do good with the money or you can do evil with it ..this Pastor could of done a lot of good with it he could of helped a lot of people in need ..

  • there are 7 sins, greed... the opposite of greed is donating, if you win alot of money being greedy sure you have sinned but in order to maintain a zen like balance its good to counter that greed with kindness of donations.. i hope that the church put that money to the good holy use that it was intended for.

  • God told you not to take the money? You talk to God? Did God happen to mention where your dumb ass is going to move to when you lose the building? There's a book this Pastor should read.. Bible for Dummies..

  • that's dumb... follow Billy Sunday's motto... the devil's had it long enough...

  • I think they're doing the Lords work. Why won't "He" provide for the mission? Fuck the money.

  • wow what an idiot!!

  • Would taking the money promote gambling? Is it sending the wrong message. I think that the choice to give the money belongs to the person who won the money. The mission should focus and using money to good effect. In using the money they are in no way condoning gambling, they did not gamble, they are a charity and beggars can't be choosers as the saying goes.

  • You'd rather have your mission close down and let all those people starve, because of a matter of principle. An easy decision to make on a full belly I'm sure.

    Foolish pride.

  • THE CHURCH

    is no gambling

    The gambling is over

    Going to work is a gamble.

    He should take the money instead of spitting in God's face.

  • where in the ten comandments does it say

    "thy shall not participate in powerball"

  • After reading these posts I might be alone, but I think the pastor's stance was on the same lines as if a pedophile were to donate boxes of children's clothing to a child abuse center.

    My example is a bit overboard, I admit, but I think the base thought of "We wont accept anything from a source we don't accept" is what ruled that pastor's decision.

    He made a decision based on his belief and their teachings and it should be respected.

  • ummmmmmmmmmmm................A­ND WHY IS GAMLING A SIN!? This is absolutely ridiculous....Since when is gambling a sin???? How stupid..."look at what gambling does to you".....Idiots....This is why the church is a sham....Fills you with BULLSHIT...Believe in God, yes....Be a good person BUT you dont need a church telling you bullshit....

    THE GNOSTIC CHRISTIANS WERE CORRECT.

  • This pastor did the right thing! His integrity is showing, and God blessed them even more because of it. He would have been a hypocrite. Now he can be trusted in everything. God Bless You, and God Bless Your Ministry, Pastor Ryan!

  • God apparently told that guy to be retarded

  • ok so who said god talked to them and told them not to take the money???

  • What other retarded advice does your "imaginary friend" give you?

  • well i won the 3mill. now everyone hates me :(

  • If I won some money! I would not be at home watching youtube videos! :(

  • Money and guns are neutral. They're tools. Neither Good nor Evil. Why is this a hard concept to grasp?

    Humans determine the outcome of their actions. Humans kill people. Humans are corrupted by their own greed.

    Stop blaming others. Stop blaming influence. Control your Mind. Make a well thought-out plan. Execute said plain. Don't harm people. Bask in the glow of helping others.

    Is this not logical thinking?

  • @TheMURDERVILLE How do you know that pastor didn't use to have a coke habit? Man is so fickle, always thinking more money is the answer. NO, it's not. You have to "Understand" money

  • @TheMURDERVILLE word lol duh idiots

  • paster jim probably feeds the children with his cock. :x

  • what i would do if i was the lottery winner who was soooo greedy and evil, after trying to share and being turned down and perceived as the bad guy, i would just donate a little at a time right under his nose through someone else close to me. In fact, i would give him twice as much right under his nose so he can claim how turning down the 100,000 got him twice as much in the "long run"..but really he would have that evil lotto loot. hahaha, from an angel in disguise with determination to share/

  • Well done. Stand for what you believe in.

  • They actually stuck to their beliefs. Much respect for them.

  • Wow, you guys make me sick. Saying the things you do. They chose to do the right thing. How can you say something is bad, then take it? Thats like saying you are against drugs and then smoking a joint. You are one or the other. That is what is wrong with this country, there are no MORALS, just GREED!!

  • Gods dick must big and good to reject 100k

  • good for them!

  • @Aniah888, yep I agree with you and as the saying goes, 'you are damned if you do and damned if you don't'. In other words you cannot please everyone.

  • Retarded religious ppl. are retarded -.-

  • The devil may have brought it but the Lord sure send it.

  • I'm a Muslim, but I'm proud of him!

  • lottery destroys lives? last time i checked it was actual gambling with real ammounts of money on bets that caused the problems

  • thats for poor folks main man gave them the money and he didnt take it damn shit take that money and come up with something new to say!

  • LOL , They are good people : ) Stand for something or Fall for everything. Go pastor, This world needs more like you, and not necessarily of christian faith. Just good people, and wholesome people. One blood everybody and money is over rated. Before money and even the bible, people lived on earth as Elephants walked by : ) We should KEEP the bible but this whole ,money makes me better crap, makes me laugh, all these different cars, I tell you, Love what you got, GOD, Family, Life. Universe

  • Man What Id Do Just To Have 1 Million That Would Be Amazing I Wish I Had It Everyday! Congrats Though Godbless!

  • @hamjambo100 are you kidding me????? thats why would never win??? you need to do some rethinking on your comments or something dude becouse i did not say anything negetive at all and you are coming at me like that. wow!

  • ay no... qué bruto!!!! se va a ir para el infierno por descerebrado!!!

  • this god shit is such bullshit

  • @Mlocke69 yeah. that was pretty dumb. being that the guy who offered the money is probably a God fearing dude that's obviously trying to help.

  • if i ever won the lottery i would buy 6 houses all next to each other just normal homes so i could live right next to my closest friends of course we would all get new cars but nothing fancy maybee all fords or something i would also give some money to cherity as well but if someone turned it down who was asking for help in the first place they aparently dont need it to begine with

  • omg, why the fuck would god give you precious life and make you not live it? lol thats like me buying someone the worlds most delicious cake which cost me $1000, put it in front of you and say ''no, you cant eat it, just stare at it until it goes bad...'' why? just fucking stuff your fat face with that cake and ENJOY IT! after all, thats why i fucking bought the thing! (interpret the meaning...)

  • incredibly brainwashed

  • @hudsonman...You will look God face to face and he will pull up a scroll and with his mighty voice "How annoying! How many times did you bother me? I will now hit you with my mighty stick" ::TAP:: Oh did that hurt? So sorry."

  • i am christian i play lottery. ever thing we do in this world i a sin. plus i am save and pray ever night to tell god forgive my sins.

  • that man looks like he smokes weed? at 0:26

  • he aint stupid he stick with his beleives...

  • YEAH, THAT PASTOR IS STUPID. SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT. YOU SHOULD LET THEM. I'LL BET YOU THAT HIS CONGREGATION WAS PISSED.

  • remember rain falls on both flowers and dung...

  • It's about principle

  • I belive he has a point. I am not for or against religion but, it does suggest in the bible that lottery winning is a sin or a temetation. I also belive that he is true to his vision and his belife he will eventually get the donations he needs.

  • I would like the pastor of this Light House mission to go back and not just read his Bible but study it. It is written that the WEALTH OF THE WICKED IS LAYED UP FOR THE JUST. The Bible is not talking about spiritual things it is talking about material.

    money is not evil the person who made the money is wicked bless the money and use it to the Glory of God. He's acting like the man prayed for help from God and he sent the PLAN, BOAT, ETC,DIED AND ASKED GOD WHY DID'NT HE HELP.

  • I wish I had this pastor's principles.

  • @ElectricSwag me too its wonderful

  • Give the money to another mission.All good and perfect gifts come from GOD.I would say that would be a good gift.

  • god failed u religious dumbasses yet again LOL

  • DUMB BASTARD.

  • Well guys it's been 2 years since I turned down the lottery $. Listening to what God told me & then doing it was the best thing I have ever done. Not only did God bless me with an opportunity to be on TV & radio several times & share the gospel around the world BUT God replaced that $ many times over by giving us with TWO new buildings! better then I could have imagined. We are still feeding more then 2800 people each week. Checkout our website to find out more! God Bless you all. Pastor Jim

  • @LHM1992 Hello Pastor Jim. That was a very commendable decision how you stuck to your moral beliefs in the face of such a difficult test. I just have one question. You yourself preached against gambling, which is fine. But if someone else chose to gamble and won, why would you not accept the money? If he hadn't told you it was from the lottery you would've taken it! It has changed from gambling to charity. An answer would be appreciated. God bless.

  • @LHM1992 hey awesome you guys found anouther way to get the money i just dont understand why you dident take the original donation but that is your choice not mine but hope all STAYS well

  • @LHM1992

    Spare me some cash please? :D

  • Comment removed

  • He's in the right for not taking it

  • Who is he to decide on which miracle he should accept!!! Maybe it was the fate of God you Dick priest

  • Crazy Christian

  • he's an idiot

  • Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis..

  • *facepalm*

  • but this was NOT illegal gambling or something shady like las vegas casinos it was a STATE LOTTERY which is part of our culture.

  • @Zurround100

    Yes it's part of our culture, but culture and religion are 2 different things. Alot of religions don't believe in gambling, and that's why they refused to take the money, because it came from gambling. And for anyone, if you say lottery is not gambling, you're dumb. Again, state lottery might now be illegal with the laws of men, but it is illegal with laws of god.

  • That's stupid. Life is a gamble, and this money could've helped so many.

  • Life is a gamble itself. There are winners and losers all the time. When you try and open a business you are basically taking a gamble. Gambling becomes a sin when it hurts either yourself or others. Most State lotteries would not have even been started if it were not for the money going back into education, roads, and other public services. I personally would have taken the money and challenged the local Sam's Club to match me dollar for dollar. That challenge would be televised.

  • Religion is so stupid.

  • buying a dollar lottery ticket to me inst gambling..... its when u spend foolishly spending bill money to win

    

  • Thats the problem, God aint told him a damn thing, He told that bull to himself. dumb azz. God blessed one man to help the other. stupid stupid stupid.

  • who told the people at the lighthouse mission that the money came from gambling. they should have just made an anonymous donation said a prayer and moved on.

  • god isnt telling him to do anything. he thought he'd get props for turning down the money, but now he just looks like the big twat that he is.

  • i'd fucking leg it from there on my enzo ferrari in a matter of minutes! fuck you world, i'm selfish!!! hahahahahaha!

  • maybe the wrong way to go, but its up to him? maybe he didnt want the money as hes fed up running that place, and he knows its closeing down? i lost all my money in canada, going into buisness with my brother in law,i lost over 250.000 bucks, and now liveing with my mom in england,house truck motorcycle the lot all gone and my daughters still in canada and my grandaughter who i havnt seen, i cant even afford the plane ticket to go see her,so anyone wanna help me id be gratfull

  • stupid niggers enjoy being on the street thanks to god.

    just kidding :P

  • The Whole System of money needs to be thrown out the window. Money was the death of christ. People should share information and live of the land and be Happy and content. You don't need money to survive.We copyright and with hold info to the highest Bider. Although I think if he was selfish or cared only about the church He would've taken it. But He OBviously is on a Higher mission. RESPECT

  • Well, as your pastor, I'm going to turn it down, but as a SINNER, I'm going to put it all in my personal bank account...

  • The mission had no money and was about to loose the building but the guy has a mac book.

  • its not a sin if its use to help out ppl who are in need

  • @M0koto good comment

  • I for 1 have tremendous respect for that Man turning down $100, 000 of evil Money.

  • Your an Idiot. And now the place is closing..Get that pastor out of there!!! NOW!

  • @BigDH28 good comment

  • I don't get it. I just don't get these religions.

  • typical brainwashed jesus follower. Get real, theres people to feed! Use that money and stop sucking big G's nuts.

  • @SottileSky

    God bless you, you need it to even think something like that

  • @SottileSky SLow down, don't think you know EVErything. $ HAS destroyed people..

  • Let me clear this shit up for ya'll: Its not the money thats bad, not the gambling, its depends on the individual, so what this so called paster is saying is that he did not want to accept the donation because he does not trust himself to use it the right way, therefore that so called religion is what brainwashed his belief system and has now surrendered himself to his own insecurities that's not what you call religion, thats what you call being *@#!rugt3&*%($* translation A dumbfuck!!

  • Nah believe me the lord is gonna look out for him believe that...he living RIGHT and know his bible...and if yall knew yall bible then you would know it was a sin to gamble......GOD GOT Him...believe me!!!!

  • @Tylek101 right on. stand up for god!!!!!!

  • That guy will probably give his 100,000 to someone else and then that person will probably donate to the church, and that pastor will then accept it......stupid crap

  • hey buddy... here's a real shocker... YOU WEREN'T THE ONE "GAMBLING"

  • oh god more stupid fucking niggers

  • @mangirl111 another stupid kkk asshole... get a life

  • I could understand if it was drug money or some other form of blood money, but the lottery is nothing more than a giant raffle that everybody enters into willingly. I understand his position and I am sure the decision must have been a hard one considering their plight.

  • the bible isn't against gambling it's against people who think they're luckey.. and lady luck.. saying they're other God worship.. or somthing like that.. Google it.

  • lottery doesn't destroy you. you destroy you.

  • @sociopathpsych good comment

  • fool fool fool fooly foolish

  • lottery don`t destroy lifes.. what is 1$ to win something big.. what an idiot.. destroyed other people lives because of some selfish opinion

  • they play bingo at that church and fight cocks too- moreover, jesus is baloney anyway

  • A gambling problem will ruin your life but playing the lottery every now and then is no big deal

  • There was a man in the sea who was dieing and couldnt stay afloat much longer he prayed for god to help a life boat showed up with another man and he said come in the man in the water said no im watting for god an hour passed the man prayed again another man in a large ship arived and told the man in the sea come aboard the man said no im watting for god later the man in the sea died he asked god why didnt you save me? god said I sent you a life boat and a large ship and you didnt save yourself.

  • @kinbigbird nice

  • @kinbigbird cool

  • Comment removed

  • [paraphrasing a joke]: Drowned man: Lord, why didnt you save me? God: "$%^@!!! I sent you two boats and a helicopter fool! And you turned em all down!"

  • stupid pastor

  • idiot!

  • this talks like Edward Norton LOL

  • Amen brother, lose your building and look dumb on TV.

  • he wasn't offered the right amount. if he was offered a couple of millions he wouldn't have turned it down. he would have probably pocketed a few hundred grand for himself too!

  • You gotta' eat where the food is.

  • God says: Winning the lottery is the MIRACLE you asked me for to save your ministry's ass, you moron!

  • So what if you there's a bigger chance of you seeing big foot?

    You still have more chances to win, if you don't play right?

  • idiot. i wonder if he screws only to procreate, too.

  • how the hell would the lottery destroy your life . he needs to think, deeply, about himself.

  • winning the lotto is easy and hard trust me i spent 13hours getting a combo and i almost got it by a slide mistake on mega two step and cash five check out my video ''close to winning Texas two step'' last week mega was 15-18-33-48-54 i had 15-18-39-48-53

  • Theres a 1 in 14 million chance on winning the lottery, that means your more likely to find a meteorite or probably see Bigfoot rather than winning.

  • @TyroneCrawford Yea, seeing a mythical creature is WAY more reasonable that winning the lotto (which many have done).

  • Clearly a case of some guy who thinks/believes that god speaks to him and tells him what to do. If there is a god, he would have said Take The Money , Homie!!!

  • haha .. fucking retards ..

  • He says, "We will always do what god tells us to do despite what the world thinks," So if god told him to kill someone he would do it but he wouldn't take money that would save their church? I don't understand....

  • there is a god,but not like the way you think ,jesus is no god ,he's a propfet you cunts

  • shouldn't he have spent the already existing money on useful things and not a Mac! seriously

  • what a numnut...i dont think he was ever wright since he fell down the stairs and hit his head...

  • I think this guy made a bad decision,If anything God probably sent the money to help him with his ministry and his self-righteous beliefs got in the way.Now thousands of people are gonna suffer for his ignorance.

  • @miachevydude god?? whats god

  • @miachevydude na because it money that doesnt mean god except all type of money god want the money in good condition

  • @miachevydude Yeahh it's funny because you belive in god. 

  • church runs bingo all the time thats gambling

  • There is no GOD religion is bs

  • People who criticize the pastor are not paying attention to his main point. Gambling (the lotto included) has DESTROYED the lives of countless people who are addicted to buying tickets with money they don't have. They will borrow, beg, steal and even harm other people just to get money to buy tickets. The pastor has tried to help these addicts. Now he cannot suddenly turn around and take lottery money. He was absolutely correct not to take that money.

  • lottery is a tax on stupidity...those who can't do math buy lottery tickets

  • I respect their beliefs and decision not to take the money on one hand but on the other hand I don't think that it's wrong either to accept the money.

  • but the winner was trying to turn it into good, what an idiot.

  • LOL RELIGION!

  • Comment removed

  • when i play the lottery , i don't gamble , i know exactly when my numbers will hit--i don't play randomly. So what would God call that you idiot..lol--Maybe he wants God to come down and show himself-God is very busy, pastor . He thens to use other people ,you nimrod..lol

  • I like your attitude, and I hope you win, because I think you'll do wonderful things with it!!

  • dumd ass

  • Funny how redfordrn presumes to know what god wants.

    how does he know what god wants? and please dont tell me the book is the word of god. cuz the book was written by man.
