Topic: Is it a sin to gamble? - page 73. (Read 31233 times)
if you are gambling just to get some entertainment then its most probably an ok thing to do but if you are very greedy it might be a sin in many religions and you shouldnt do that
If you gamble for greed and money, then it could be considered a sin.
If you gamble for entertainment, then it's not really a sin.
Why would you care though? You were promoting a scam knowingly, which is a sin.

You fool! Prepare your an.. I mean prepare yourself to be punished for gambling! *thunders in distance* You will be condamned to gambling dice at 9900x for the rest of your miserable afterlife!
In my eyes gambling is not a sin, I think this question could be different for anyone here. I don't see it as sin but someone else could see gambling as a sin. I think this is just a difference of opinion how you see things differently.
most probably it is in most of the religions, and i think that people should avoid playing any gambling games if its not entertaining for them in my opinion its better not to gamble at all
Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
Maybe in some kind of religion but gambling is no sin to me brother.
Enjoy yourself, do what makes you happy.
I personally don't think it's a sin to gamble. But I do understand why some religious people would see this as a sin.
I think this all lays within personal believes and the way you see things from wrong or right.

Yes, yes it is. Among the major Abrahamic religions gambling is an insult to God since you are putting your faith in chance rather than God.It is also sometimes considered usury.
Don't worry though, many of the things you do everyday are considered abominations. Things like eating anything from the water without fins. Or failing to shave the head of a woman without a veil. We live in a time when you can do whatever you want and easily find another person who thinks God is fine with that.

Deuteronomy 4:2
Gambling is not even mentioned in the entire bible, it is not a sin.
Leviticus 16:8, “And Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat."
1 Chronicles 25:8, "And they cast lots for their duties, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the pupil."
Psalm 22:18, "They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."
Matthew 27:35, "And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots."
Acts 1:26, "And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
In the bible it is called "casting lots". Which is a religious act because the believers do not think randomness is possible. God determines the outcome of a gamble. Not that I believe any of these things.
For me gambling is not sin because it is just to have fun while i am online and have some spare time than it is good activity for me to play poker and place bet on some casino so that i think it is okay.

There are many examples and I give you one:
The Bible - Lev. 11:6-8 says touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football?
Can I have leather gloves or can I have leather upholstery etc. Don't be paranoid guys.

If you are an idiot believing in superstitions and useless 'golden rules' from the past then everything could be a sin for you.
The real sin is only when you are hurting others and yourself in the process. Everything is for people, you just have to do it right.
And you can be responsible gambler!

I don't see it as sin unless you're very religious. Gambling is meant to be fun and for pure entertainment. I would like to keep it that way. I think it becomes win when you're going to abuse the option to gamble by getting addicted. I believe that's when it becomes sin.

I think it it becomes sin when gambling becomes wrong.
Let's say if you were to get addicted to it.
I believe that could be seen as a sin.

But why is it a sin? is everything a sin when its wrong? I dont think that gambling is a sin. Its entertainment, its fun. If youre addicted, its like a disease, you are sick and need help
Okay, as someone raised as a religious nut -
The Sermon on the Mount.
You have heard ... but I say to you ...
Lot of that in there.
And the whole point of it is that it isn't the act itself that was wrong, it was the motive of the heart whether or not you actually did the act.
Murder is wrong, but it was not wrong for David to kill Goliath.
The issue is the motive, that the motive is the issue whether or not the act itself is actually carried out.
Gambling is an act. The act itself is not a problem.
If your motive is to profit by intentionally deceiving others, then your motive is what is wrong and that is wrong whether or not you actually carry it out.
Like I said - there is good and there is evil, but sin itself is just an artificial construct used by religious leaders to control others. Jesus, the people he hung out with were the people the religious types of his day called sinners. Yet that's not what he judged them by,
If your gambling does not have the motive to harm others then it is not evil whether or not some religious blowhard calls it sin.
If your gambling has the motive to harm others then it is evil whether or not some religious blowhard calls it sin.
It's the motive that matters. And if your motive is evil, you don't give a damn anyway.

for a certain religion yes it obviously sin and can ruin your life but Even though such it and everybody has know about that gambling be a favorite way lot of people to spend their money
There are several churches in my area that have a Bingo night....some have a casino night too. I've also seen church raffles.....etc. The Judea Christian Bible mentions the Israelites "casting lots." So, I don't know if gambling is a "sin" but I do know that there are quite a few churches that have no problem participating in the activity.
Exactly! I have seen few Temples around Louisiana having these worshipers playing card games with money on the table during some festive season.I doubt its a sin then.Its all in our heads at the end of the day.
gambling isn't a sin at all unless you become greedy and loving money you profit from it, remember greed is one of the 7 deadly sins. anyways we are all sinners , so just continue gambling. you can just ask for forgiveness by praying afterwards.
btw you are still going to hell cuz you're a scammer
