Topic: Is it a sin to gamble? - page 17. (Read 31233 times)
I think that only strongly believing people can consider the game as a sin, but without reasonable entertainment when you can control yourself the world would be very boring.
Bible does not say or mention that it's a sin, but Bible mentioned something about love of money or greed. If it's for fun or entertainment I guess it's not considered as a sin.
You mean to say, the bottom line reason of evil things is the loved of money. Well, I agreed on that mate, it is exactly true. Once greediness has been sow in the mind and hearth it will surely lead them into evil deeds.
For my religion other than gambling is prohibited by the state. Also banned by religion. This is why I tried to stop gambling. By gambling I feel stressed out.
You say you must not bet on it that gambling is ok and then you go on to say that it's not obvious 
? So you saying it's wrong but yet it's debatable ?
I don't think it's wrong. It is up to you to choose your own pastime and look after your own finances that are used to pay for that pastime. You never know your pastime might even pay off one day when you win big. It's entirely possible and I think it's why most people continue to gamble.
to i think according to some religious point of view gambling is not legal and therefore they consider it as a sin while according other religions gambling is not a sin and one can continue using it. ?

I'm muslim. For me it's sin absolutely. Because Kuran doesn't let it. Undoubtedly, for my religion gambling is devil's trick. By gamble devil make breaks between people, and keeps away people from worship and their religion. But I think on other religions playing on casino sites is not sin. In general, no benefit from gambling.
Your religion is trying to protect you from gambling problems. If you are taught for your own benefit then you may or may not follow some belief. But if it is being taught in the name of God then definitely you will obey to that. Gambling is a thing, every human must avoid, when it is categorized as sin then we should not touch for any reasons. Take it personally and we might good to go to discuss about this ,
When you have a strict environtment around you about gambling then just obey it ,
Gambling is a sin or not are your own responsibility , just don't harm people .
If you are religious, or if you feel you have a religion, then you have to do everything and treat everything based on religion. Because if you ignore the rules of religion it is the same as you do not believe in your religion. If you want to gamble, then you should know the gambling law on your religion. Once you know it, then it's up to you, just make sure you continue it or not.

It will only be wrong if you gamble excessively instead of just doing it in your past time.
When that happens, it will lead you into having to compromise important things.

There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
If we are doing this for amusement and for relaxation I dont think it is a sin. Perhaps it could be sin if we become greedy, and bad person because of doing gamble in the gambling site.

In most religions I know of gambling is a sin as it promotes greediness in people and some sort of inequality among people when they make a lot of money, but of course others might argue that in some rare cases it elevates one standard of living such that the come from rags to riches which removes them from suffering. Afaik people are reluctant about the whole gambling is a sin these days 
I don't believe it's a sin because I am doing it regularly, gambling does not destroy my life and in fact I am having fun doing it. With that said, I guess if you are not responsible in gambling you will not gonna enjoy gambling and that way you will sin but not the gambling establishment itself.
Religious rules are made to be dealt with responsibly, gambling is strictly prohibited by religion but if we do not imply what is implied as negative elements such as injuring others, self-destructing, then gambling is still worth doing, besides religious law, there is still a positive law we can do.
Gambling can be Morally wrong and legally wrong if:
moral : if gambling makes you destroy yourself or others.etc.
Legal : if you gamble in prohibited areas. Or gamble without permit.

Muslim or Christian gambling is both sin for all of us. Let's remove religion with this, gambling is a business entity that is for everyone and is free to do it unless the state is prohibiting doing such act that relates to gambling. Because there are countries that ban gambling and completely disallows people for doing it so and I think it's mostly in your region.
In Islam gambling is a mortal sin and you will be against the law of Quran so they are not allowed to gamble. I have a lot of Muslim friends and they are really following their low and they don't want to commit a sin like gambling because they treat the law holy but in my thinking, there's nothing to treat a sin as long as you are not destroying others reputation and using others money.
Once sin remains sin, in Islam gambling is sin. So whatever your reason for gambling, however you treat it, gambling remains a sin in Islam. And if you know that gambling is a sin, but you do not care about it and keep on gambling, then you're against the rules and that's the worst thing.
Yep we can't cover up a sin and justify it to be not. Though I'm not an Islam I understand on how they are implementing laws toughly and there's a punishment for every mistake that you'll get if you will be caught on act or someone will report you to your leaders that you are one of them. Too bad for those gamblers.

We can say money makes people greedy and I don't see church ever said money is sin. As the matter of fact they are charging(at least in my religion) every possible things they can charge and all things they are charging should be for free.Think about this - if you donate million dollars to church they will accept it. Will they donate that million dollars to last cent to people who need it or will they keep it to themselves(most of money)?
