Is it a sin to gamble?

[Naokia980]

God nooo !!! why would it be a sin to gamble. some people gamble to try their luck and some people gamble for entertainment. Gambling is fun for most of the people. Just don't gamble too much and just do it for fun and everything is still good.

I think we need to establish what is sin before we put this argument into the right perspective, what constitutes sin? I think a lot of people don't seem to have a clear understanding of what sin is and that's the reason for their comments.

Gambling is root of all devils.Last night i tripled my deposit and losted few hours later.That's how industry works.

As I already said somewhere in this topic gambling itself is not sin, but it can lead to sin, you are example of that. You won, become greedy and you lost all, now you are blaming gambling, only one you should blame for your losses is yourself

Actually, greediness isn't gambler's fault since it's part of their emotions since it trigger as opportunities are close enough. However, if a gambler don't control that emotion and he lose because of that, that should be consider as a sin as he don't discipline himself in gambling.

No, it is in yourself how you think about playing gambling.
For me its not the way it is not said that it is a sin to gamble .playing gambling with money you dont own is.

In my opinion perhaps gambling is a sin if you are religious and a Republican. There are no really specific passages in the bible that is against gambling. But there are warnings and passages about wanting money, loving mammon, coveting thy neighbor’s goods, lying, cheating and stealing. If you are a desperate, greedy, or wants to have some fun.

yeah in others only but in my religion its not a sin. Gambling would be a sin if the money that we gamble is get in bad or you scam someone just to play gambling IMO. Well anyways i don't see some if we gamble and its a sin only the bad people would get some sin if the money that they gamble get in bad

When we are basing on biblical aspect then gambling isnt a sin but mostly people would really commit sin when they do gambling too much which would results into bad doing when comes to a time you already got addicted too much which would makes you greedy and doing already bad things just to gamble.If you treat gambling just for past time,i think it isnt a sin after all.

There are religious people that are going to point out that gambling is a sin but I had two points for it. That will become a sin if you are able to make yourself addicted with it because when you are already addicted on it, that's the start to become greedy. And when you are greedy, you will think about of money all the time and that's a sin.

True, greed is in all of us but i didn't say it's his fault he is greedy i said it's his fault he lost money.

playing gambling with money you dont own is.

Why is that a sin? It's stupid, but it is not a sin.

In my opinion perhaps gambling is a sin if you are religious and a Republican.

And if you are not republican then it is not sin?

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

actually, I know all people know that gambling was not okay. But some are still doing gambling even it is not okay to anyone because
they gamblers are motivating themselves that in gambling they can become rich one day, even they've lose most of the time in the games, they're not loosing their hope, due to dependent on their luck.

Either you are religious or not, it is a sin to gamble and everyone know this thing and it does not require any rocket science knowledge to know this stuff. Either way we are going to repent for what we have done someday later so just be prepare for whatever it is. I dont really think of it as a sin or not however I do know that this is sin.

Gambling is certified as sin, because most people who get involved here is became greedy but not all of them.
Because there are some gamblers played for fun only.

Greediness is the one that leads us to sin but gambling itself is not a sin. It really depends on the output of the gambling activity. There are some that are becoming addicted and there are that are just normal gamblers.

I completely agree, you cannot be greedy in gambling because it will only lead to loses, just be always cautious of your decision because you do not have the advantage in this game. Those who are greedy may experience big loses because no matter how lucky they are and bag some good money but they will not be contented and just stop.

It's opposite gambling can make you greedy and it's up to you on how you are going to manage your emotion. If you will let your emotion go deeper then that's the one that will make you greedy and it will make you go sin, when you don't have money anymore but you still want to gamble it is the reason why you want to keep on gambling.

That's true. People mistook the concept of job. A gambler can't conesider gambling as job since at the first place, they are playing and not giving service which is what being done in a job. Though a gambler make gambling profitable where in he makes more likely consistent profit, it would never be considered as job.

You have a good chance to make money if you are working in a casino because you are sure you will get paid since casino business is profitable. If that is your job you will always think that it is not a sin, instead you will defend it to anyone who would call it as a sin. That is your main source of income so it's just right to love your job and be proud of it.

Maybe in religious belief gambling was a sin, but gambling didn't mention in the Bible. However, the love of money is the root of all evil which is mentioned in the bible. Where in my part of it I am 100% agreed and believed in the Bible.

People does not only gamble to win money or feed their greed.  This depends on the purpose why people is going to Casino.  If a person purpose is to have entertainment and enjoy himself then where is the sin on that.  If you are using your own money from legit earnings, why would anyone consider it as a sin?

But the thing about gambling in sites or casinos is that many gamblers assumed that you earn there, but no one does, what are they gaining or earning is loses, not profits. It must be really an entertainment,  noone needs to seriously take gambling as a way to gain profit.

As quoted it needs to considered as an entertainment and spend same as that you spend on your holiday for some entertainment activities. If you're lucky to get some profit feel good about it, but on excitement don't go for a big betting on a sudden hoping big win. Because the luck could turn opposite anytime.

If a group of people or an individual is going to do suicide and we say that it is the will of the person to do whatever to his life, is not fair. So, we can’t say that being a tool of entertainment it cannot be termed as a good thing. Also when it makes a person happy due to winning it makes other sad due to loss.

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.

There are churches for real that truly if there's an occasion they conduct raffle ticket to their program, and I don't know if that is considered as gambling tools. But for me, gambling is really a sin.

Everyone determines what he considers to be sinful and what is not. Therefore it is difficult to say in general. For me personally, this is not a sin. I do not kill people, so the main laws of nature are not violated
