The bible never mentioned gambling to be a sin but what most believers don't accept in gambling is betting excessively, without self controlling, to some believers it seems to be indecent lifestyle to their faith of believe.

You do not give us a backup in your scripture because gambling have a way that you perform it and it became a full sin that is well known, gamblling is a sin when you have no plan about it or when someone have trying to steal because of gambling, because gamblling from my society people do not regards gambling from what i have noted, so gambling is good for people that is working class and they do gamble as form of leisure.

As long you don't love money and don't put it above everything else it's fine to gamble. Balance is needed in everyone's lives. We need money to thrive and achieve a better confortable life. There is no crime or sin in aiming this goal, but we can't sacrifice our values in order to conquer wealthy. That would mean putting money above everything, what is the real sin accordingly to The Bible. Unfortunatelly that is what many people do and end paying a bitter price because of their actions later.

There are many things that shouldn't be related to religion because it will not tally with each other as many of these religions go against gambling but they won't be responsible for your poverty if you're suffering and yet fan accept your huge donation made from the gambling winnings you've made as offerings, gambling is as good as it's intendd which is to give joy amd pleasure on gambler's faces as long as they don't involve any unethical dealings together with their gamblings.

It should be a case of individual's standard instead. Religious Leaders too compound their teachings as well, selling out misinterpreted version of which ever religion the represent. If one has to avoid gambling because of religion let is based on what they have researched for themselves and seen enough evidence that their religion is against it other than sit back and wait for a leader make interpretations that could be misinterpreted and misquoted.

During my research on religions, I learned that gambling is not strictly prohibited in Christianity, but the love of money is described as something to be avoided. In fact, all religions enjoin good and forbid evil. We have to decide from our personal experience whether gambling is a good or a bad thing. If gambling hurts us and our families, I think we shouldn't gamble. We should not gamble with money that should meet our family's food needs. However, if we can control our own limits when gambling, I think it should be okay to gamble. Having fun is also a good activity. If we consider gambling as a fun activity, there will be no problem in my opinion.

According to Islam, gambling is absolutely forbidden. It is clearly written in the Qur'an of Islam that you, mankind, earn and eat lawfully and try to live honestly. But here gambling or casino is very much prohibited according to Islam but if you lend money and take more than you need then such transaction is prohibited according to Islam instead which goes towards haram. But what we are doing is against Islam because we trade, invest, hold etc. will be legal.

Well, according to Islam, gambling disassociates people from Allah's way. For instance, when a gambler is determined to play and the time for prayer comes, he wouldn't want to stand up even when it is time for prayers, which is why it is prohibited. However, I believe that gambling was different in the past compared to how it is now. I'm not trying to modernize Muslims, I just think that their practices were different.

I'm a fan of the sport, it will only take me a few minutes to place my bets with a bookmaker following after analysis. After that, whatever happens, is out of my control, and I don't believe it will have an impact on my salat or prayers. Qatar hosted the World Cup this year despite the fact that they are an Islamic nation, even though they are aware that it will encourage gambling, it should be seen as entertainment rather than a sin.

Christian and Islamic teachings are not much different in terms of gambling, both of them strictly prohibit it because it can cause other negative effects on someone

I personally am not too deep into the teachings of my religion (I am a Christian), but I gamble with low intensity and also with small capital, so I think it will be fine for me

When you come to education and related to gamblling and religion, the understanding is one or same method of transmission of knowledge from my understanding, i do understand that education don't have to anything with religion but people misunderstood it with their theory. Gambling is something that have to do with your strategies of understanding the methods or the measure you can use to understand gamblling from your ways.

It's a good question so I won't worry about hurting feelings here. Some people are curious about their religions so asking is the only way to know it.
I don't think it's forbidden in the Christian religion, I am a Christ believer, but I have never read something about gambling in the Bible.
But there something about love of money, that we should think about and it's not just on gambling but in any businesses.
For some reason I don't see many people who doesn't care about money in this era anymore. So, I guess, we are already sinners just because of that, it makes you forget there's a God watching you.

I've read about: World Religions view on whether gambling is a sin.,
from sources that I read all religions prohibit gambling and also according to Jewish or Christian priests.
Example:
•What is the Jewish view on gambling?
• A BIBLICAL LOOK AT GAMBLING

You can read and see basically gambling is prohibited by the priest of every religion that is officially registered with the government.

Conclusion: the practice of gambling is basically illegal, gambling can damage the morale of every gambling addict.

The point of every religion is to point people towards what the proponents of the religion deem right.

Now you can gamble and still have total control over your persona life without any problems, then it is well and good but then you would be a rare breed. Most people get addicted to gambling and end up spending way more than what they can afford. In such cases you should stop gambling.

Now I dont know specific religions but this is the logical basis of how you can handle yourself in case you feel the guilt of gambling on you. A lot of things are considered bad in many religions or are forbidden, but they are often done by the followers of that religion, because nobody wants to be shackled to rules and chains.

Your self-control is the key here.

I see many people talking about this case and blaming Haram or Halal in different religions since I'm not someone who cares cares about the religions I don't care about being Haram or Halal and I think if someone is good and help you in your life no religion is against it unless the religion was change during all these years by people in the history and they say something is Haram if that's just against what they like, I saw many other cases like this in different religions and we cannot be sure even if the rules are changed by people during these years or not.

Everything is halal to save life. So gambling is not haram for someone if gambling is his only source of income and he has no other way to live his life. But gambling cannot be one's only source of income. It is part of most people's enjoyment and a bad addiction for many . So each religion may have different hadiths for this but as a Muslim I can say according to our Qur'an that gambling is not halal for Muslims.

Scamming other people is Haram according to Islam, but I've seen many muslims scamming other people. I've seen muslims stealing and drinking alcohol.
Giving loans is also Haram, but there's the Islamic banking system called Mudarabah, where the act of giving a loan is bypassed in different ways.
When it comes to the Christian world, the religious rules have very little influence. The laws imposed by the government are more important than the teachings of the Bible or the rules set by the Christian church.
It's more important that gambling is considered legal(and regulated) in many countries around the world(many of them are Christian).
Gambling will always be viewed as something negative and dangerous by the religious people. That's their opinion. They have the right to express their opinions.

but for me gambling is just entertainment for some spare time and I also use money that I can afford to lose and not overdo it.
because what I know is that something in excess is not good in any religion.
the most important thing is not to steal or harm other people for the sake of gambling.

Will matter depend on your outlook on it since you can still commit a sin even if you didn't gamble. But as there's no bad effect you can gain with it I think this is fine and to many people still gamble whatever religion they are, what really most important is how you control yourself since if you are doing it in wrong way then this is how you can commit a big sin.

~ Maybe in religion, it is not explained clearly that gambling is prohibited. But actually, people already know that they should not do that.

Jesus Christ never said anything bad about gambling, and Judaism, like Christianity, doesn't oppose games of chance. So, gambling is not a sin, but greed is. "Don't be greedy", that's what religious people say. But it sounds familiar, innit? I keep encountering these very words on various gambling forums, including this one. Gamble for the sake of entertainment, nor for the purpose of profit. And entertainment is nowhere forbidden, neither in Bible nor in Quran.

If the entertainment weren't going to have a disastrous effect, it wouldn't be a problem in the long run. But we know that many people who have fallen into gambling do not know where the exit is. So, in the end, it will be a sin if they can't restrain their lust and get tempted by gambling. We humans are required to restrain our passions and not be easily tempted by worldliness. So if that happens, what do you think?

When gambling takes hold of you and you have no control over it at all, it might be viewed as a sinful act. No religion will ever support when someone disregards his sole duty as a family man to support and provide for the family just to gamble. Many that have spent their money elsewhere on a gaming house, have gotten addicted to it and lost focus on not taking full responsibility for their family's well-being.

Quote

“Five Reasons Why Gambling is Wrong: Because it denies the reality of God’s sovereignty (by affirming the existence of luck or chance). Because it is built on irresponsible stewardship (tempting people to throw away their money). Because it erodes a biblical work ethic (by demeaning and displacing hard work as the proper means for one’s livelihood). Because it is driven by the sin of covetousness (tempting people to give in to their greed). Because it is built on the exploitation of others (often taking advantage of poor people who think they can gain instant wealth).” John MacArthur

In Christianity gambling is wrong as it opposes the bible's teaching. If you look at 1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils". As our preacher explains gambling leads you to be greedy. It can be associated with one's compulsion in gambling, or gambling addiction.

The development of capitalism has slowed down in world history because of this verse. Similar ideas exist in other religions. The negative effect of religions on development and progress has also been for this reason. Otherwise, we know very well the contribution of the church and other religious people to science. Anyway, I don't want to confuse the subject.

Before you arrive at this Proverbs 1:14, you should first start reading from Proverbs 1:10 because that's when it says it's not good to follow what others do. How we interpret these words is just like how and what we want to hear.

Oh, those protestants! :) They have the ability to read the holy books as they wish. :)

All religions are the teachings of the ancient world. Today's world is another world. We should evaluate the terminology of religions (haram and halal) together with the conditions of the old world. If we do this, everything becomes clearer and more understandable.
