Churches discourage gambling. Because it is a clear throwing of our resources without assurance of getting it back. Any form of gambling is discourage as our hope goes from luck and most cases it leads to bankruptcy. Is gambling OK? Don't bet it! There's not an easy or instantly obvious proof text answer to that question.

Gambling is a sin or not depend on the country where you live how do you gambling, if you lost then steal money, rob bank or others, scam someone else money , that's a truely sin can't forgive . But if you're winning , you take the house's money then spend for your own needs and it doesn't affect to anyone else so absolutely it's not a sin at all.

I agree, gambling won't bring any good things on us, we are just going to keep on losing if we are going to keep on trying. It is a sin without a doubt because it was written on the Bible, and the Bible doesn't lie. I know that gambling bring us fun, it is entertaining us when we are winning on it, but most of the time I'm sure we lost, so the entertainment became an addiction which is a bad thing.

Perhaps in some religions gambling is a sin, but I do not think so. If a person knows how to control himself, then you can play for pleasure, and if you are lucky, you can improve your financial situation.
yes that is a fact, different religions have different opinion about gambling, as in Islam gambling is a sin in any formate. you cannot play gambling in any condition, while in some religions game gambling have legal status. There they can play gambling openly and they do not have any restriction for playing gambling. The only restriction is for the under age children who are not allowed to pay gambling on line or even to play is sphysically. Right, if we see the religions point of view, then you are explain very well. That's why mostly countries are not allow gambling and they announce it is illegal. But those countries who allow to play gambling as a legal way, they also have rules, they don't allow for kinds and teenagers, because they know that may be gambling is a sin and kinds can't handle it. But this topic has a big discussion, in short, gambling made for give us fun and entertainment, if we use gambling by this point of view, then gambling is not a sin for those people.

Gambling is a difficult issue to discuss it's a sin or not. There are always 2 sides of every single problems. The point is which side you are standing at and look at the problem. Gambling actually isn't a sin. It just an normal activity but The problem is it leads to many evil socials which are it's consequences. So it's becoming a sin if there are too many evil socials happen cause of it.

For me, yes. Gambling does not contribute helpful things to community. Addiction on gambling can be a source of many miserable incidents in the life of the person or the people around him/her. I support churches that discourage gambling because it really doesn't bring anything good.

Gambling itself is not a sin however the gambler turn to be addicted become a sinner. i think its people's choice how to spend their money, we have the freedom where you want to spend it and if you become addicted it is your fault for not controlling yourself when playing. some players(just like me) are treating it as an entertainment, to kill time if bored. you dont necessarily need to use your own money because their are sites giving free btc for starter.

The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money. Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to “get rich quick”. Gambling most definitely is focused on the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of quick and easy riches.What is wrong with gambling? Gambling is a difficult issue because if it is done in moderation and only on occasion, it is a waste of money, but it is not necessarily evil. People waste money on all sorts of activities. Gambling is no more or less of a waste of money than seeing a movie (in many cases), eating an unnecessarily expensive meal, or purchasing a worthless item. At the same time, the fact that money is wasted on other things does not justify gambling. Money should not be wasted. Excess money should be saved for future needs or given to the Lord's work, not gambled away. While the Bible does not explicitly mention gambling, it does mention events of “luck” or “chance.” As an example, casting lots is used in Leviticus to choose between the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat. Joshua cast lots to determine the allotment of land to the various tribes. Nehemiah cast lots to determine who would live inside the walls of Jerusalem. The apostles cast lots to determine the replacement for Judas. Proverbs 16:33 says, “The lot is cast in the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.”

Bible does not say or mention that it's a sin, but Bible mentioned something about love of money or greed. If it's for fun or entertainment I guess it's not considered as a sin.
In Islam, gambling is considered a sin. But I do not think it was mentioned in the Koran. In fact, Muslims claim that it is a sin because the money you receive after you win is not your money, but your opponent's. Added to that, they think it is a sin because you do not work hard to gain these money. They think that if you want to gain money, you should work hard. Plus, it is like stealing someone's money or happiness. Put yourself in his shoe, you will feel sad when you lose your money. That is why gambling is considered a sin in Islam. And if the bible mentioned something about greed or love of money, then it will be automatically prohibited. That is how I see it. (I am not Muslim by the way.)

I dont see gambling as a sin.i see it as a way just to have fun or be entertain, whether you are there to play or gain profit. doesnt matter if you win or lose. As long you dont hurt, decieve, taking advantage to anyone, it will not exactly be consider as a sin. In short gambling is just a platform only the person who make fraudelent action that affect people using gambling can be consider commiting a sin and accountable on his doing.

I think it depends on your purpose on gambling if you are a greedy gambler then it is a sin, But if it's just for your own entertainment and fun then I think it wouldn't be considered as a sin.

I don't know, because i don't know how form sin. What's certain and important is i am not gamble using other people's money and money i use is my own and doesn't have potential to disrupt family's finances.
I consider all those acts that harm a person or any other human as a sin. Actually not only humans but animals also! When a person loses his wealth continuously in gambling, he will get stress which will lead him to bad wealth. The money that was supposed to be spending upon family gets wasted in this game. They will also suffer with the gambler. For me, it is a sin.

Its not a sin even you are a greeady person or not. It will become only a sin if you do the wrong things and gamble again to spend but not your money .. As long as you enjoy and you have no problem in money its not a sin.

Gambling is a sin if your religion sets gambling as a sin, gambling for fun or for making money will remain sin. Even if you ignore it, even if you do not consider it a sin, it remains a sin. If you already know the law, next is your choice to keep gambling or not because whatever you choose you will bear the consequences.

So is being gay, lending out money and the following, Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. Leviticus 19:19 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads. Leviticus 19:27 So it is a sin to wear clothes that has cotton and elastic materials. It is also a sin to shave your head bold. Just to prove a point here that sins are really stupidly written things on paper.

Well, I was taught from childhood, that the gambling game is a sin, so I believe it is a sin. But, all depends again on each other's stance, because the purpose of each person in playing gambling is different. Maybe that purpose makes gambling play not a sin.
Gambling can't be called sin. Even though gambling is kind of wrong but in general gambling doesn't do anything to others it just affects the person who is gambling and the owners who may earn or lose. When we talk about sin, we must bring religion here. And do you think that the thing that sin is only a disservice to others? That's not true. Do not you think that things that can harm you but not harm others is not included with sin. Although gambling sometimes only makes misery to oneself, if religion establishes as a sin, it is a sin. The thing that sin is not only when we harm others. You didn't get my point first of all why do we follow such a religion which stops us from doing what we like or doesn't allow us to live peacefully. If a person like gambling that's totally his wish. If he loses that is his fault. Even though he loses he likes gambling so religion is no one to take his happiness away from him. It will only be considered sin when it steals money from others to gamble or any other wrong way We have different religion so we have different judgement on the topic whether gambling is a sin or not, as for me gambling is never a sin, it's fun and although we can lose our money but the fun it brings would justify it. It shouldn't be called a sin because of religious reasons as many religious consider gambling to be sin but thete will surely be a group of people who will still gamble even though it isn't allowed. It can be a sin for people based on their opinions and not at all gambling shouldn't be consider sin based on different religious reasons Lets say that they are also a member of the said religion which do treat gambling as a sin but in reality some of them do make gamble which we cant really be avoided since gambling is just really a pure entertainment which we can able to stress out ourselves on playing it. Sin would only occur when you are already doing bad things because of too much addiction on it. We should not generally treat it as way other do treat it. We do have our own views when it comes to gambling and we should really respect each others views. See again what you are saying is to satisfy yourself that you are not breaking any law or doing something that is considered sin if it's there in a particular religion you can't gamble so gambling for entertainment or profit doesn't make a difference you are still doing something which isn't allowed

Funny thing is, what you quoted is not even written on the scripture, I cannot find anything in the scripture that forbid people from gambling nor directly stating that gambling is a sin. The great part here is that religious leader keep on saying gambling is a sin and yet when they need fund they hold a lottery, isn't lottery a gambling too? Funny isn't it?

I agree that being greedy is even more considered as a sin. Just like the bible tells us, for the love of money is the root of all evil. And that leads us to sin, gambling is just there to give entertainment just like the other things when used it too much and we dedicated too much time to it then that leads us to sin. So being a greedy person is the real sin and not gambling alone.

So being a greedy person is the real sin and not gambling alone. It is definitely one of the causes of disagreements and most people who are greedy won't care about people who they will run over or destroy and that leads to either madness or worse, killings. It's the persons fault also for making themselves addicted to it and only that person could get themselves healed.
