The Bible says: “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
From a Christian point of view, I would also like to add that I don’t remember a ban on gambling as such, but a person who starts gambling sooner or later may encounter problems, such as loss of money, loss of trust from loved ones, and will begin to worry a lot, constantly think about the stakes and subsequently change your life for the worse. My point is that gambling itself is not a sin, but the consequences will be sinful, so it is not permissible. This is just my point of view
It is a good explanation, I think.
I went to a religious school and I do not recall any teaching explicitly condemning the action of gambling or betting. There were kids who openly talked about betting (not gambling) and they were never called out by teachers about some alleged wrongdoing in that sense.
I have visited some other religious webpages and looked for some of their views on gambling, in the most of occasions their views on gambling have something to do with the love for money versus the love for God, as I have already mentioned in a previous post in this thread; other Christian denominations do not make references on the words of Jesus Christ about the love for money, but they point out how betting and gambling are very different from any other source of income or job; according to them, for someone to get benefited from gambling others have to suffer inevitable losses which does not happen with someone is ar artist, and engineer, or a merchant. Obviously, they do not take in mind some people gambling do so fully for the sake of fun and entertainment, they only consider the flow of money.
