Well this one is rather interesting. I never really thought of taking what the Bible said seriously on this one. One of the questions that came up in my mind while doing this was pretty much reactive...asking whether or not this was just being left up to chance. Thanks to this accompanying verse, I got some clarification on that:
"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord" (Prov. 16:33)
It's common practice to call in a third party whenever you're having an argument which seems to be at a stalemate.
"That kid at the beginning of Pirates 3 is not Will's son!"
"And I'm saying it is!"
"Älright let's call somebody!"
See? That's an actual excerpt from an argument between 2 of my friends by the way. Interesting isn't it? They're weird that way ^^". Disputes on something else, say the DaVinci Code for example, can be a lot more serious. In any case though there's always the need to rely on someone who's rather objective about it and can enforce one view or the other (granted since we're human it's pretty hard sometimes to call someone 'objective' in all truth). But the one true judge, and the best arbitrator is always God. Why? Because unlike us, He's perfectly loving, and would never make a decision for any of His children that would cause them harm. And if the decision makes life difficult, just remember that when you are weak, He's strong. You don't see God's grace till the circumstances really start to get to you. That's when you'll thank Him. Trust me ^^.
Blessings!
PS: By the way, I'd recommend that everyone that's interested in apologetics or at least in Christian history particularly in regard to the DaVinci Code, pick up a copy of Josh McDowell's
