valentineuwakwe: 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 (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to “get rich quick” (Proverbs 13:11; 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10). Gambling most definitely is focused on the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of quick and easy riches which is the motive behind it. That is the answer to your question.

valentineuwakwe: Gambling is not something that I just “don’t like.” I love Sports Betting Malaysia and have always been fascinating with the mathematical odds of games of chance. Also, I adore horse racing. However, I do not put money on those things, due to the Religion principles outlined above. |
