playing gambling sin or not it depends on their respective religious beliefs, of according to my beliefs gambling in religion is a sin for getting money is not kosher from the results of gambling.

Yes its a sin for many but regardless it is because the needs of the people is much bigger thats why even it is a sin it can make them a money or double their money to buy what they want. Wether its a sin or not gambling will be in many peoples solution for money problems.

To each its own. For me, gambling is not sin. Although my religion says its a sin. I don't give a ****. I want to gamble and nobody can stop me. Plus you just don't throw that argument about religion. Everyone has a choice in life, not even religion should dictate what you gonna do.

We are not in the Middle Ages anymore, time has move forward. Everything, including religion. Even the Pope in Rome is changing a lot of old Catholic traditions. So for me, it's not a sin to gamble. If you felt a slight guilt because you think that you are making a sin when gambling. Then stop, simply as that.

It is and it is not. Gambling is solely made for fun and entertainment. But if you combine Gambling and money then it could be a sin (but it's the nature of industry), We all know that money is root the root of evil in which a person would do anything to just to have one. Then in result Gambling could be also a tool for a destruction of oneself. The people who are engaging in a such are the one committing the sin. Gambling is just a tool for happiness and sadness, though people are the one committing it. The result of their actions dictates the outcome of their future. Which some can contribute to an act that could harm not only himself but also the people around him/her. Having that said we all have different views towards gambling, there are no right or wrong argument to this question.

So for people who think gambling is a sin then do not ever gamble. And for those who think gambling is not a sin, then gamble alone as long as gambling well, with good self-control, good money management and do not get addicted. The point is not to gamble in a foolish and arbitrary way.

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.

I don't think Gambling is a Sin because sim is when you are doing something wrong to others or doing something illegal but in gambling you are playing with your own money and are not doing bad to anyone else.Gambling can have other negative effects but it also have some positive effects too but it's not correct to consider it as Sin.

i think so...as long as you use your own money and you know how to control yourself to get involve dipper and you forgot that you still have your family who depends that money you gamble maybe you can say it is already a sin..you see life is a gamble too...in order to live you have to strive hard...work hard in order to meet all your family needs

You can gamble your hard earned money but only up to the limit, it's still very important to provide the needs of your family first before gambling and always be a responsible gambler so it will not affect your family relationship, never follow the fate of others where they destroy their own family because they get themselves addicted in gambling.

It is not a sin to gamble. In life anything is a gamble. But the things in which the results are mostly dependent on your work and action you will not consider them to be a gamble.

It is only when your results are not associated with your work (but left to pure luck/chance) you call it as a gamble. It is putting yourself into greater risk of losing. Once lost in a gamble, you will have no way to reconstruct or build your way to old glory. The only way you can get back what you lost in a gamble is to gamble again with what you have. Chances of losing what little you have is also high.

But what we are interested is in the chances of winning. You should be careful to put that money of yours in a gamble which you can afford to lose. You must do a thorough research. One may argue that day trading is also a miniature version of a gamble. In a way it's true. So ensure that you put your money for gamble at safe places which are genuine and try your luck.

No, gamble is not a sin at all. In everyday life we have some features of the game. Cheating is a sin, run a casino is a sin, maybe even been addicted os gamebling is, but the gameble itself - no way!

Run a casino is a sin because gambling itself is a sin. Running a casino is a sin because it means we provide a place or facility to gamble. Being a provider is even more sin than gambling. Well, but all back again to their respective perspectives.

It is everyone's own perspective and wether it is a sin or not , it will never be our concern. Our main concern is to let people know not to gamble foolishly. If someone wants to do it for fun or atleast with some money that he doesnt use then that is fine. Anyone that gamble with intention only to get more money is just so foolish

Oh god! Please keep religion out of this. I am not an avid gambler and I am someone who understands the negative consequences which can arise from addiction to gambling. But if you want some of your friends or relatives to give up gambling, then please point out the hard facts rather than using the religious blackmailing tactics.

Gambling has been an entertainment ever since, however I think what is considered illegal is a sin, so maybe if you are gambling and it is not legal, it can be considered as a sin. Gambling is really fun, but I think if it is against the law, it's just like committing a sin.

That would be considered as breaking the law not sin, both things are different. Sin is something which is wrong form religious point of view and in many famous religions of the world, this bloody game has been prohibited because it destroys the lives of people who don’t have good control over their greed. Thus the involvement of greed makes it sinful act, otherwise it could have been fun for people.

That's much worthy to be considered as a sin when someone tries to cheat the entire casino. Running a casino isn't a sin, doing something against the government rule is a sin and running a casino without proper legality and license will make it a sin. But you are countering what you have said before, you said that it's a no, gambling is not a sin and in the end you say that even becoming an addicted gambler is a sin. Try to clear on what you are really standing for.

Why something is considered and claimed illegal? Do you think governments and legislature of your country is such stupid that they don’t know what is sin and what isn’t? They know better than us. They have rules, these rules were built under umbrella of values and norms, what is good and what is bad for the people. So whatever is illegal that is considered as sin. Go away from them.

Church sometimes are hypocrite, they tell us believers that gambling is a sin but then they host a lottery event for us to buy ticket and hope to win the prize. If we follow what this churches said that gambling is a sin then they are urging their follower to commit a sin since buying raffle ticket in a lottery is considered a gambling. Anyway, I have not found in a Christian scripture that gambling is a sin, so I believe gambling isn't a sin unless proven that it is written on the holy scripture.

If you refer to the bible then yes it is a sin however we dont know what is a sin and what is not only based on that. There are alot of religions and even if you are sinner, you are going to make sure that you repay what you did in the afterlife. That kind of thing dont bother me but for some people it is going to be bad for them if they do some sin

IT is most definitely a sin to gamble. This isn't a question, it is a fact. Gambling = losing money = bad and sinning = bad so yeah they are one and the same - gambling is sinning.

Actually you missed point of why gambling should be considered as sin.
You see, church see love for money as sin, so when you are gambling you tend to win more and more money and somehow this is connected to greed and love for money. So, your fact (gambling=losing money=sin) is actually wrong.

There are different ideas and facts about gambling being sin or not. What I consider is, it is a sin. And many people are following it as in faith, and my faith believe that it is a sin because you don’t do anything. You just put some money and by look and shook you earn or lose. It affects your mind and make you lazy so it is claimed as prohibited in my religion. Same in other religions.

Gambling isn't a sin unless we are told what is sin, we should stop bringing in religious doctrines and what is right and what isn't until we define sin because that is what the OP is yet to provide for this heading. Sin can be anything one deems as wrong and that makes gambling not a sin for all.

If you are a religion then religion should not be ruled out in any way, including in gambling, and if your religion forbids gambling then you are doing it on whatever grounds it is still a sin. All will be different again if you are not religious, all your life has only the legal source of your environment, you will not consider gambling sin because you follow your environmental rules.
