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

If your gambling interferes with your responsibilities it is a sin.     Grin   Now what are you responsible for?   

Debate aside, gambling can be fun but it is always pretty stupid for the people doing the gambling.   Typically the people people doing providing the gambling are using it to rip off the gamblers.

Gambling is a sin in many religions. Their argument is that you cannot predict the future and only God can. In fact this is a bit of the truth,  you can only try your luck in gambling but you cannot predict the future. I wonder what has been going through the head of the persons who have won big jackpots from gambling and how many time did they play before hitting it Roll Eyes

Not just before, even after hitting the jackpot, many people have lost that because of the addiction of the gambling.
The sin in many religions is more like a frowned upon concept so that people don't put their everything into gambling.

Gambling isn't a sin, if you are gambling your own money without the feelings of winning a lot, you are fine.

But when you started to become ambitious and wants to earn a lot from it, that's greediness.

And when you had the feeling of greediness, considering that will make you sin.
For others gambling is not a sin but in the bible and religious people gambling is a sin remember the passion of the christ you can see the part of gambling that jesus destroy all gambling in the part of the movie?
If you are watching that movie you can see that part because it is one of the big sin in the bible if you gamble..

Oh yes, I remember that part but He destroyed it because it shouldn't be in the temple. They are not in the right place.

But gambling is the reason of making a person greedy, if you gamble moderately then you are in the right path of it.

If you gamble, seriously and treats it as a source of making money, then you are doing it wrong and that's will let you commit sin.

It's all depend on your conviction. Some religion was banned the gambling activities to do with reason forbidden to raffle the fate. Well, it back to your choice. If there's any doubt in your heart, then do not ever do that for your ease.

Actually most of the gamblers don't think that it is legal in their religion or not. Because they believe only to win in gambling, But when they lose everything in gambling than they consider about it, it is a sin.
But you are rightly speak, and i also with you, if your heart is not agree to play it than left it.

The Bible does not directly mention gambling problem. But People gamble because they want to get rich quickly, so that they become people who love money. And, the Bible says the love of money as "a root of all sorts of injurious things"
Many people who gamble eventually became addicted. It happens everywhere. In the United States , it's estimated there are millions of people who are addicted to gambling.


Yes, the only problem is the addiction. It's hypocrisy to doesn't worry about money, everyone wants it to buy nice things and live better, more confortably, it's not a crime. You can try to become rich, you can try to make money. I think God wants to see everyone happy since they don't harm others, and if gambling makes someone happy, go on... Just avoid the addiction.

Remember, the goal here is to make money, if you are losing too much with gambling, stop with that.  Wink

As long as you didn't harm someone and no one get affected as you gamble, then it is not a sin. However, it can be sin once you can't control yourself that it affects yourself in a negative way. Thus, proper discipline in gambling is must.

If those people around 17 below it is a bad for them to play gambling with a shiity life.  They just wasting money for nothing and this bad for them when they get addicted it can be wreck their life and no longer to fixed it once they involved in this kind of activity . I no longer concern this if this is they want they choosing their own path in life.

Yeah, that is right, these kids, 17 of age below must not be gambling, it will be the worst turn of his life when they do that. It is better if they just focus on their studies rather than betting their school money or tuitions in gambling. The parents must be really alert on how their childre are doing everyday talking to them and asking them how they are doing every after school.

In that way, the possibility of the children doing these such activities will be reduced to almost nothing. Their parents must be really taking care of their children.

Honestly, gambling is not okay. it just there's so many people out there in the world who are very stubborn about it,for which is prohibited to do is the one they like most often to do. Besides, there's no gambling in heaven, meaning it is a sin. Undecided

Whether gambling is a sin or not depend on the person perspective.  What is his reference and what drives him to that conclusion.  In my point of view gambling is ok since it was been legalized in my country.  But  in the eyes of religious people, it is a sin and a very bad habbit since they think that gamblers are not believing with the God they know and instead rely on luck which for them is a great sin,

i am agree with this, for some people, gambling is a sin, but for the others, its not a sin but its only a way to gets fun. because every people have their own perspective like serjent05 said and every people is decide what they choose and if its sin, then we don't have to playing gambling at all and better to do another thing.

Well it could be a sin cause we all know that greed is a sin and most of us are gambling because of our greed for money,
But others are just playing just to have fun on their free time and I think it is not considered as a sin.

I can consider this, if gamblers are playing for the hope of winning a lot of money then that's going to make them greedy which is leading them to sin. But if a person just wants to try it out and make his time quality for entertainment, maybe that's not considerable to be a sin. It will all depend to the gambler as long as he won't be addicted, I guess it's more of that.

Don't see gambling as a bad hobbie from the religious point of view.
See it from the main reason that gambling is illegal at some countries, it could lead you to lose some funds you didn't afford to , it could hurt your life and increase the amount of homeless people.
Never gamble what you can't afford to lose, that's should be written in stone.

Lol no way it isn't any sort of sin even if it's mentioned in your religion rules or whatever mentioned which isn't allowed. The reason for this is there a more than a million gods in this world and most of you will say this is real and others are fake. So basically we can't decide who is the real god so religions are rules set by humans only so even if it's a sin you can gamble as it's our life and we find entertainment in gambling then enjoy it without hurting others and remember we live only once.
