Topic: Is it a sin to gamble? - page 37. (Read 31233 times)
Yes, but not all sins are bad things. In reality, a lot of sins are just plain unreasonable. It's a sin to eat shellfish or wear clothes containing multiple fabrics but we all do it because the rules are just dumb.
I don't agree gambling is a sin, because everyone can change your future and you are your free will to do what you want, everything depends your own wish, need to be strong sometimes, but it's not a sin. You can overcome any difficult in life if you are inspired to do it.
One thing is certain, if you do not break the law then definitely it is not a sin, we can just put religion law aside here since with it definitely gambling is a sin since it defies the trust to God and relies on sime msyticism and luck. It is not a sin as long as we do not cause harm to ourselves and other people.
Baffled by your logic. Breaking a law isn't the same as a sin. However, for the record gambling on-line is actually against the law for many that do it. Just because the law hasn't caught up with the technology doesn't mean it is legal.

Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
I think, if you do it for fun and entertainment or something an amusement to you. I call it not a sin, but if your gonna do it for making profit and you will rely on your luck anyway, that can be considered as sin for me.
Before you answer that question you must decide what a sin is. Perhaps one man's sin is not another man's sin ? If you are talking about gambling being bad I don't think so. It's the people who are bad or not. The casino never made you addicted you did it to yourself. This is why gambling should be left to people with control. Though casinos will make money off people who make wild bets or perhaps they lucky and win big.
No matter what we say or quote some bible verses that related to this topic. A gamblers is always a gamblers and they will never accept the fact because gambling is their hobby and they will never accept that it is a sin unless they stop on doing it. People have different perspective in every situation. You can't insist what you are believing on other people because we have different wisdom and understanding.
But you can still gamble while accepting the fact that it's a sin. We all know that thinking of someone else maliciously or thinking of another person as a sexual object is a mortal sin but we do it every single day. It's just our nature to do that but we still have a choice to distract ourselves and think of different stuffs. I think that's the same thing that's happening to gamblers. They know and they accept that what they are doing is a sin but they keep on doing it. After all, we're all just sinners.
"They will never accept that it is a sin unless they stop on doing it" - I actually think that it's the other way around. They will stop doing it because they accepted it as a sin and so they don't want to continue committing that same sin over and over.
It's hard to comment on this topic but my thought on this is that I'll go that gambling is a sin. But I know there would be against with and will say as long as gamblers will keep remain silent as they gamble and they aren't using others money or they aren't committing some crazy actions just to keep on gambling.
There is no such thing, gambling is a sin and if you gamble then you have committed a sin today. Stop thinking too hard, if you dont want to commit a sin then simply dont gamble however if you are not then gamble. Stop trying to justify yourself that it is not sin, it is a sin and even a kid now that it is a sin

There are some religions says gambling is totally a sin I don't know why gambling prohibited for them gamblers are having fun while having a profit for me gambling is not a sin nor crime
I'm getting their point for considering gambling as a sin. Because a gambler will always think about money and if always think about it that will lead to love of money. And the bible tells us that the love of money is the root of evil, like being greedy and it can startled us to do some crimes when we don't have something to gamble.
Correct, but still, most of the gamblers will say that it is not a sin as long as you are not stepping on somebody's life, but it is not like that, no matter what we say, or the most of us says, gambling is still gambling, and we can't change the fact that it is a Sin if we are going to consult the Holy Bible. But if you are not afraid to the wrath of our Almighty God when the judgment day comes, then feel free to do gambling as a living.

If gambling is not a sin, why do they call Las Vegas the Sin City? Considering Las Vegas holds the largest number of Casinos located in a single city.
I don't think so that why it is called sin city just because only on Casino city ,We don't know what is the true means behind those city (as i am not an american) Gambling is not truly a sin well if i know it will depends on your own explanation about gambling and sometimes in the manner of devotion in your own religion .But as far as i know it is not a sin at all if you don't do bad things when you gamble.Hmm, indeed all depends on what we think. But I'm sure if you believe in the law of God, that you believe it, then I'm sure you will stop to do something forbidden by God to you. Indeed the divine punishment is sometimes indirect, but if we feel the time is God specify arrives then we will not be able to escape from the punishment. If you want to get the happiness of the world and the hereafter is good then so be observant person. Because the world's only momentary pleasure and if you are caught in it then it will be difficult to rise up to the right path, unless indeed you can think with clear

That is right only when you are addicted. If the person loves to make money through gambling but can control himself when he has no more money to gamble and he start doing other things, like working for money and not trying to make crimes or illegal deeds to get the money to gamble then it cannot be considered as a sin. I agree with the Bible though, money is the root of all evil if one is not careful how he manage the money.
But when talking outside that , in general gambling is not a sin as long as do not harm people .
I mean when you gamble but make your life and your family life in trouble then it is considered as a sin.

If gambling is not a sin, why do they call Las Vegas the Sin City? Considering Las Vegas holds the largest number of Casinos located in a single city.
It is not that gambling is a sin, and calling a City, into a Sin City has its own reason, Sin City is an urban that caters to various vices, various means there are many things that is going out there and not just gambling is the reason why it is called the Sin City, the vices are, sex related services, including prostitution and strip clubs, Gambling, Drugs, and excessive organize crime and gangs activity. There are a lot of Sin Cities in the world and not all of them, includes gambling on it, that is why it is not really a sin to gamble. Excessive gambling activity is really not good to a ckuntry and it's people.
Not all of the vices that you can do on the Sin City is not particularly a sin, but it is an addiction. Prostitution is not a sin, lust though, is a sin, gambling is not a sin, but greed is. Drinking is not also a sin, but gluttony is a sin. Having or involving on Criminal or illegal activities are not a sin, though wrath is a sin. Not all of them are really sin, but it depends on how you do and look at it.

Normally it is a sin. It is a sin because gambling can make your psychological feeling very bad in case of losing money, even when you win money strong emotions are not that good for the psychic of one person. If you can be really cold and not feel any emotion when gambling no matter the result, win or loss then maybe but only maybe it isn't a sin.

maybe the bad effect of gambling is the sin because some gamblers became addicted and can no longer control they can even sell everything or as for loan to keep playing letting them forget about their obligations, that's why its became a sin for most old culture.Addicted gamblers are almost criminals in society, they never bother about their responsibilities and not at all taking their health too. These are symptoms of evil and hence gambling must be a sin.
