Or that God doesn't care about soccer?

God preordained what has happened and will happen in the World Cup.

I'm sure y'all can tell us where God draws the line on what He cares about and what He ignores... with Scripture to back it up?
I think it's pretty safe to say at the very least, God preordained what has happened and will happen in the World Cup.
OR the Super Bowl. OR the World Series.
I do, however, think he'd be alarmed at the sheer amount of money spent on it and how that dwarfs the money spent on actually helping people.
No, probably not 'alarmed'. Saddened.

-Removed-Or for my claims that actual, righteous people don't pray for their team to win the World Cup, or for any other selfish reason.
All the rest of your post is your own piss-poor opinion of me, which, really, you should work on. God forbid people should actually have a more interesting, more abundant life than you have. And why you blame this on ME, I will never understand.
-Removed-No, you idiot, it just means that I am sick and tired of your "sour-grapes" whining about my life. Over-sensitive? You call me a liar, practically to my face, and expect me to just say, "Yeah, whatever." You must be dissatisfied with your own life to be doing this. That's not MY fault.
"and your choice of adjective isn’t appropriate as it relates to a spiritual life"
Actually, it is.
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." -- John 10:10, KJV
Your limits are placed upon you, not by others, but by yourself.
As Jesus said, [If ye had faith of a grain of mustard seed,] "nothing shall be impossible unto you." Your unbelief in yourself is not my fault. Stop taking it out on me.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeNo I'm saying if the bible is true, God foresaw it and did not take measures to change it. OR, He foresaw something else and DID take measures to change it to what we see happening.
Are you saying He rigged the tournament?
