Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.
whether its sin or not is on the basis of your value judgement and personal beliefs irrespective of what people hold to be a sin or a form of righteousness among other things so it is neither a sin or not as my basis cannot be the overall standard of judgement... my 2 cents... |

To be real I do not think that it is a sin to gamble because people should decide for them selves what they are going to spend there money on.
If a man or women wants to spend there money on gambling we should not judge them.
if you are leaving in a free country or on your culture you are not believing in any religion your point is correct but to those who had been raised in place where religions exist it Is written from what ever book that they've believing that gambling is a sin. Yeah I don't also think that gambling is a sin, and for me religion is not true, no religion in any bible that has written it is really out faith in God is really important. The money that we have right now is from our hard works and not from stealing. |

yeah for my religion is a sin, but I believe most religions forbid gambling, as well as several countries mostly prohibit gambling because it's sin and have a bad impact.
Many countries prohibited gambling and considered as illegal thing not because it is a sin , most country with religious concept maybe yes prohibited it for a sin reason. But beside a sin , gambling could destroy young man character. |

Agree, as in religion also gambling is forbidden and sinful for anyone who did. It is true that all this in most countries prohibit gambling, because gambling is the beginning of a crime. So gambling is actually the closest thing not good is done, but if you still want to use it responsibly and as a result and do the hatirohibit gambling because it's sin and have a bad impact. |

In some religions it is considered a sin. But you have to judge a human based on it's doings and if he is a good man and gambles for fun or excitement, I don't see any reason why it is a sin.
Not 1.

Maybe it's not a sin to gamble as long as the religion you have allows it. But some point, gambling is a sin when your bet is from illegal. That's way that gamble is a Sin.

Gambling started way long ago even before Jesus Christ was borne. The Bible says Jesus flogged people who gambling in a synagogal. This means that whatever happens in gambling does fit to be done in a place of worship. I have always seen casinos in places where beer is sold but not a place of worship. Therefore it depends with your religion. It is also counted as illegal in some countries.

Yeah, there might be a religion does not prohibit gambling and did not give a penalty to those who do it, but it is already clear that gambling is something that harms everyone and it can be categorized in all religions which is a sin. Because in the gambling contains things that can harm any person |

Everyone has a different view in life. The Bible doesn't say that the Gambling is a sin or money is evil, Gambling in perspective of it's impact on social life of a gambler is forbidden.

Gamblers usually play because they want the promise of easy money, or because they want to lose deep down. The act of winning due to the loss of someone else, is clear. |
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?

Agree, gambling is not a sin, it is depend on us if we make some dirty moves here and that will be a sin. Gambling itself is just a game, an activity to play if bored or somewhat reason do you have to consider this, but gambling is not really a sin. |

I have saw a number of people who were very much good and related with noble family and they started to gamble only for entertainment and did not went there for earning money as they were already very much rich from their ancestors but when they involved in gambling they regularly lost all of their wealth and with that they gone to spend their lives in extreme poverty. |

I am not completely sure but i think in my religion gambling is considered as a sin.In my family culture also they will all consider it really bad.
But in my personal opinion gambling is not a sin yes it may be really bad for someone who gets addicted to it.

It doesn't even have to be your religion. It can start off as harmless fun then become a sin because you rather steal and entertain yourself through gluttony and chasing after a sin of greed bring no good no matter I'd you religious or not. Also the word sin is a little misleading. A sin can be murder without reason even if you have no religion it is still a sin. Even if it means its only a sin in the eyes of the law. It is still a sin none the less. |

Gambling if you ask me can translate to as a sin if you put at risk the money that is not yours.. |

For me it is not bas as long as you don't getting hurt other people around you, as long as you know how to handle your financial, and as long as you family is not affected. I think gambling is not bad.

Are you a Christian? A muslim? If not, I don't think it is a sinful thing. Or is gambling in your country? If still no, why are you sinful? It is real life.

I believe it will become sin when the way you gamble is wrong, Lets say you have money that should be spend in something important like donating it to a church or for an operation to someone you love. But instead of paying that money you gambled it first trying to double it or make it more and the result you lose everything. For me that is when it become a sin.
