colormebad: Men are really funny. What makes you think the church needs that nonsense money? The love of money is the root of all evil. Its hard to see betters that are not controlled by greed. Besides most gambleres or betters are irresponsible. Quote me. |

The Bible makes no significant mention of gambling. Yet, it does offer a number of guiding principles that reveal how God feels about gambling. The basic nature of gambling—winning money at the expense of others—is at odds with the Bible’s warning to “guard against every sort of greed.” ( Luke 12:15 ) Gambling is, in fact, fueled by greed. Gaming institutions advertise big jackpots, while downplaying the poor odds of winning, because they know that dreams of wealth prompt players to wager large amounts at the casinos. Rather than helping a person guard against greed, gambling promotes the desire for easy money. Gambling is based on an inherently selfish goal: winning money that other players have lost. However, the Bible encourages a person to “keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person.” ( 1 Corinthians 10:24 ) And one of the Ten Commandments states: “You must not desire . . . anything that belongs to your fellow man.” ( Exodus 20:17 ) When a gambler sets his heart on winning, he is, in essence, hoping that others will lose their money in order for him to profit. The Bible also cautions against viewing luck as a mystic force that might bestow blessings. In ancient Israel, there were some who lacked faith in God and began “setting a table for the god of Good Luck.” Was such devotion to “the god of Good Luck” acceptable to God? No, he said to them: “You kept doing what was bad in my eyes, and you chose what displeased me.”— Isaiah 65:11, 12 . 1 Like |

lomprico: Does it mean every politician is corrupt? Then money itself is corrupt. Do you know that you may have used stolen money or money gotten through illegal means before? Does that make you a sinner? The church will tell you the truth but where you think you're standing beware lest you fall, yakata. |

adjoviomole:Well for d fact u dont wait for 1960 bet to eat some other persons does. And u dont have to tag them sinners because of a legitimate way of making extra cash for themselves. D truth is that tithing is also a form of gambling!. 99.9999% of christians that tithe do so because they expect returns for God. Some have been tithing all their lives n are still poor financially, (those that loose bets and they keep paying expecting to hammer) and some claim they have been rewarded (just like a custom I knw who will give to church n take from unfortunate importers). |
