I. What Scriptures would you use to each a Christian that gambling is wrong?
A. Love of money
1. 1 Ti 6:19 storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.
2. Ec 5:10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.
3. Lk 16:13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
B. Conformity to world
1. Ro 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
2. Pr 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
3. Pr 28:19-20 He who tills his land will have plenty of food, But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty. 20A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
a. Pr 28:22 A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth And does not know that want will come upon him.
C. Covetousness and Greed
1. Ex 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
2. Lk 12:15 Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”
3. Eph 5:3 But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;

I myself don't Gamble but I have seen the destruction it does to some people that are not self disciplined or in Christ you have to set a limit and to what you can afford and maybe money you put aside for that and you do your other giving as in helping others in need I don't think we'll ever have enough money or time to help those in need but I feel that if you do Gamble and hit a High amount that you use most of that money to help others in need and replace the money that you used to get that amount and maybe just a little bit if you really need it as for savings for medical expenses food rent if your budget does not meet the requirements but really if you really don't make that much money you really shouldn't be gambling but I think the rest should be always in your mind to help others because money is not evil it is what you do with it that is if for evil use as in bad habits or indecent uses I truly believe that's how you know who a Christian is definitely if you use it for just luxuries when you know your neighbors are in need you are definitely not a Christian anyway so do whatever you want because we are talking about Christians Christians have the Holy Spirit in them they know how they're supposed to act what they're supposed to do if they've been blessed they are to bless others so that's what I think there's no need to make more of it we know the Fruit of the Spirit it's supposed to be working in a Christian and if you're not growing any fruit there you are you're not a Christian Love and peace to all

It becomes a sin when you forget about giving to God and go over board with it. Its supposed to be for fun but people are not good losers. A,person can gamble with the best of intentio s. However there has to be a Spirit of Self Discipline. I have found that the Christians God given power to bind the wrong and loose the right. Its not gamblung thats the sin but what peopke do with it Thank you for yourr input on a hard to talk about thing.

1 Corinthians 10:23. All things are lawful but not all things are beneficial. Gambling a few bucks on the lottery is as sinful as eating deep fried food. You don't die immediately. Many people gamble for entertainment or to escape, especially women. Gambling becomes a sin when you lose control, spend your tithe, and bill money. So for some $1 is a sin, and others, $1000 is a sin. It is best to just stay away. - a former blackjack dealer

Yes but many things we obtain money from has its source in sin and evil. Such as lack of wisdom and absolute abscess of control and manage balance. There is nothing wrong with gambolling as a far as doing it. But it becomes a sin when you loose sight of self control. You use gambolling just as entertainment with the hindsight of just being able to play only what your prepared to loose. That means not letting it control your life to the point where you let it control you. Then it’s better to avoid it, if you lack that wisdom. There is nothing more wrong than gambolling but if it’s source and motivation is evil, covetousness and lead you to stray away from our Lord Jesus Christ, then it becomes sin. This is a hot topic of conjecture, but my view is if you lack the wisdom of God when it comes to gambolling then avoid it on all levels. Because it’s eventualities will end up with us turning to sin to fund that habit and we loose insight of earning money legitimately. I will always turn to Christ on this matter in prayer and remember if anything leads us to harm innocent or turn us to greed and or hatred, then it’s a sin. Remember most of all gambolling also means speculation on the stock and housing markets. Interest rates to obtain wealth at others expense. So Gambolling is not just rolling a dice 🎲 or black jack of cards. It’s more detailed in the eyes of the Lord. If anything leads to the Love of Money, is essentially sinful and evil in nature. It’s not a complex issue but it requires the ability to discern what your motivation and balances are on this issue.

The point is lack of self control is the main sin and any act or choice we make, that has a lack of self control associated to make the balanced and right choice for common good, becomes a sin. This works with gambolling. Gambolling as a result is not a condemnation act. But when you are focused on Gambolling for the love of money, it will lead to sin and hatred of others who win or gain from gambolling. To me greed is the problem and it’s associated damage to others. God requests us to work for our money, that is real wealth and freedom.

We are simply not of this world... There are things that are not explicitly written as sin in the BOOK but the Spirit of God testifies that God is not pleased with some things like gambling. Let's listen more to our hearts, the HS. The way that leads to death is so wide and many walk it, and vice versa. I simply don't like the vices attached to gambling, (sex, drugs, etc...) the casinos are not good places for a Christian to frequent.

Make more money Gambling desires stops

@jamesmcallister9645 3 года назад

The lottery is a scam, in casinos the saying is true ( the house always wins) as for bookies and gambling on horse racing i know horse owners who knew when their horses were going to win certain races? As for placing bets on soccer matches well the likes of christano Ronaldo who earns 4 hundred pounds sterling a week wages for playing for Manchester United in the uk ? Its not sports anymore it a buisness, the bookies and soccer clubs are in this together for the filthy lucre. I am not saying all soccer results are fixed but its 100% crystal clear that some soccer results are fixed, its been exposed many times through the years and referees have been secretly filmed taking bribes of enormous amounts of money to fix results???????.

Ok I am going to try to be as clear as possible. If you have ever traded, gambled or invested before, you will quickly understand the people who so call themselves traders and gambling all their money in a trading platform and the professional gamblers trade on a gambling platform. Being a gambler and a christian myself, I really don't know how I would have managed to pay my car, house and take care of my family all this years. I serve, offer and tithe in the house of God and give my family all the time they need from me and invest money won every month. So if I may ask, am I a sinner ?

@jamesmcallister9645 3 года назад

The main question is can a born again christain go to hell because of gambling? Anyone care to answer this question biblically. God bless you.

@lindamwala5684 2 года назад

I think that question For the almighty God ( the most High) to judge on judgment day.. for judgment is for God, because someone might not gamble but still sin differently, n some one might gamble but still sin in other ways, the truth is we are all sinners n have fallen short of his Mercy, we sin Differently.

Judgment is For God we sin differently
