I think we should narrow every aspect of life to discipline.If you see food and over feed yourself because it is free, it becomes sin.If you even drink water and over use it, it becomes sin.If you even get married to a woman and when you are supposed to go to work, you are on top of her, it becomes sin. If you over laugh or over enjoy yourself, it becomes sin. Nothing that is not sin. Even some pastors commit sin when money given as offering and tithe becomes what they think and preach, instead of giving to the poor ones among them. Sport betting is something that you can play for fun and still go about with your life.When you get addicted to it like alcohol, it becomes sin.When you steal in order to play betting, it becomes sin same way to steal and go to church because you want to be known as a man who give the largest offering and tithe, it becomes sin. Food you eat and cannot do without eating it, becomes sin. When you are working in an office and you are not comfortable with the salary you get, it becomes an addiction when you start taking part of your employer's money, it becomes sin. I do not look at people who bet as sinners because they use their money in doing that and when they go out of their way to borrow to play and start incurring debt to play, it becomes an addiction and sin. When you look at a woman lustfully, it becomes sin. Nothing on this earth when you get yourself involved and no discipline is taken, you are in for it because we all are sinners. I hate when people come here to talk rubbish. What of churches whereby they start selling bazaar and people offering different prices and the highest bidder gets it, is it not gambling or betting? 1 Like |

Is gambling a sin? Tough call.However,gambling per se is not immoral,the catholic church says that so long as the rules are clear and fair to all involved,then it is ok. In fact,the apostles used gambling as a way of arriving at the disciple to replace Judas,it was called "casting of lots" in Acts 1:26. As with other habits such as drinking,overeating,etc gambling can be addictive and ultimately destructive. It is why most Clerics ultimately advice against it.But if i were to travel on a business trip or a seminar to a place like vegas,a stop over at a casino with my wife or friends for a game of bingo or blackjack is harmless,obviously i'm not in it for the money,just a fun way to enjoy the moment while i'm there. So,in summary,gambling is best seen as amoral-neither moral or immoral,the frequency with which one does it and the motives involved is where the real issue lies.If one sees it as a means of livelihood or a way of making fast cash,then it may turn out to be detrimental. #MyTwoKobo[color=#006600][/color] |

Betting,HYIP(Ponzi), Forex/leveraged trading and basically any other investment that lures you with insanely high returns,several fold over your capital should be avoided or engaged in with EXTREME CAUTION. I would not call them sin in themselves but their tendency to addict,and bring you under their power is enough red flag. They easily excite your greed with devastating effects. 1 Corinthians 6:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. I know many sober Forex traders who make do with 5-20% return per month,and I also know many fools who attempt to turn a 100% return over American session and blow their thousands of $$$ in under a day. Learn about betting, aim very low returns and limit amounts you commit to betting per period (month). Do that and you may just pay your utility bills and eventually earn a living off it. Sadly, most negroes succumb to the lure of crazy returns,commit excessive amounts to betting including borrowing to bet. |
