Betting equates gambling.
Gambling equates greed.
The Bible speaks against all form of greed.

Hence, betting is a sin.

dont talk confidently about what you know nothing about.

Gambling AKA betting is no sin.

What the bible hasn't called a sin shouldn't be labeled sinful by anyone just because they personally do not think it fitting for a christian.

" New International Version..
Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions."

The bible although condemns greed and the love for money. That simply means that whatever venture you're involved in as a christian, u'd have to be very careful not to cross that thin line between looking for daily bread and obsessing over money and material things.

Having answered your question, do I support gambling? Not a chance in hot Africa!
Gambling is a waste of money! It is not gainful employment. You're offering no form of value to anyone, not even yourself!
and it is VERY easy to cultivate greed (which then becomes a sin)
and gambling should not be encouraged because it is simply a Scheme that robs the poor (albeit mostly the greedy ones looking for easy and quick wealth)

Gambling can easily make one make unreasonable choices as it always tries to exploit the greed in us.

I'd strongly advise anyone to stay away from gambling, even when it's just for leisure or recreation. It is a waste of money.
But is the act in itself sinful. Of course not

Obviously a good majority of Christians are blissfully ignorant of the Biblical fact that God gambled Job's life with Satan in one of the most needless bet in the history of the world. worse they have somehow wrapped the weired Biblical fact that Satan who attended a congregation of spiritual beings in a version of the Citi-hall meeting had some authority to appear before God outside his supposed banishment from heaven. of God gambles then it is okay to gamble

"so what the bible never labelled sin shouldn't be called sin?" that means smoking is not sin. continue deceiving yourself and not me.

Smoking is an addiction and d bible condemns letting anything "master" (addiction here) our bodies which is God's temple. And that also includes any and every form of addiction...yes, including caffeine.

Does the bible say anything against casting of lots? Did u not see the part where I quoted a passage about Joshua casting lots to allot real estate to isralites...... and wasn't it by casting lots that the "sacrificial goats" were picked?

Any endeavor banking on probability for an outcome is a gamble. U and I do it regularly without even realizing it. Or is it only when it involves NAIRABET that it becomes sinful?

Anyway you have a point and I get it. But smoking is a different case and outside the scope of this thread.

hey Mr man, if you love yourself and you want to go to heaven, never you say that gambling is not a sin and never you try play betting or gambling, because if you die in support of it or doing it, then you will be cast into hell fire. all of them are found in the club houses or casinos.
