Betting equates gambling. Gambling equates greed. The Bible speaks against all form of greed. Hence, betting is a sin. |

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 |

yes my friend, that's a good question. it is a terrible sin and it is of the world. Jesus will never make you play betting. Satan is aware of it, that's why he made it legal through; nairabet, sportbet, baba ijebu etc. so be aware of Satan's tactics. and if anyone repent not and die in it, it is hell fire straight. a word is enough for the wise. |

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 1 Like |

op, you mean you imagine the creator of this universe actually gives a crap about some humans on puny earth are 'betting', with punishments in place for their practice? Tell me something, do you have an idea of the vastness of this universe? |

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

peteregwu: 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. #respect brother# |

Ayo199: Yessir. My point of view though, and will gladly welcome any pointing in d direction of any scripture that may suggest otherwise. We learn everyday you know. You'd be surprised someone would come up with proof that Visa Lottery is for sinners, I mean, that's gambling isnt it? That said, I'm glad u get my point. |

frisby: 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. |

peteregwu: I appreciate your concern good sir. |

Ayo199: my friend, that's where you are absolutely wrong and that's the reason many are going to hell fire because they don't know the truth. as a preacher or a believer, you are to bring light to the world and all those around you. so making people to understand what God hates according to the bible is not judging, it is called righteous judgment. Micah 3:8 'But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.' we are to judge righteously, which means, expose evil, sin. speak against it and let people be aware of what God hates and what he loves. when Jesus came, he condemned polygamy and declared that anyone who is into polygamy is as well an adulterer or adulteress. and an adulterer will not inherit the kingdom of God. John 7:24 'Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.' so speaking against evil and sin, exposing them is what God love, so that people will not do them and go to hell ignorantly. 'my people perish for lack of knowledge.' pls read tour bible and don't be deceived by, 'judge not.' it is better you begin to judge yourself now and repent and forsake your sins before it is too late. |

these self-righteous bigots call trivial things like sports betting damning sins but commit sins that the devil wont go near. jesus told blind pharisee that they should remove the toothpicks in their eyes to see planks in others. |

Although we don’t share the opinion that gambling a sin, different people and religions have varying opinions on that matter. In fact, religion has always been one of the most severe critics of gambling. Religious fanatics claim that it is a sin to gamble and casino games must be eradicated from society. Religion condemns casino games as something inappropriate and dangerous. However, the attitude towards gambling varies across religions. For example, while Christianity claims that gambling is a sin, it doesn’t provide any punishment for playing casino games. At the same time, in Islamic countries, betting enthusiasts risk being jailed or even killed. In the secular society, online casinos and slots are just a form of entertainment like any other, and any person above 18 years old can have gaming as a hobby. We consider this point of view to be the only right one. However, religion has its own convictions as to what is considered a sin. Since religion greatly affects the lives of common people, we can’t ignore it.
Christianity
The modern Christian religion doesn’t have a strong opposition against betting and gamblers. While the Bible hardly addresses the issue of gaming, we can still find scriptures on gambling. These scriptures can be called ambiguous and open to interpretation.
Although there is god hates sin bible verse, God doesn’t hate sinners.
In the times of early Christianity, casino games were strictly prohibited, although no one could explain why is gambling a sin.
The situation remained unchanged until Reformation. As centuries passed, the Roman-Catholic church became less radical and stopped to consider gambling a sin. Still, some categories of gamblers were castigated like before. For example, people prone to gambling addiction were not allowed to gamble. Also, the church condemned betting if it did harm to other people.
Protestantism doesn’t share Catholicism’s mild views on casinos. The Protestants believe gambling to be a heavy sin and stand for gambling bans and restrictions.
GSN Games. 888 Games. 12win online casino apk for android.
As for the Orthodox Church, it demonstrates strong condemnation towards gambling. It’s believed that gaming is closely related with greed, egocentrism, and other flaws and makes a person neglect their loved ones. At the same time, the Orthodox Church doesn’t provide any particular punishment for gamblers, except for clergymen.
The takeaway we can draw is this. Although the Bible contains god hates sin verse, Christians can gamble. However, they’ll have to redeem their sins.
Islam
Islam is known for its unapologetic attitude towards gambling. Being one of the youngest world religions, Islam consists of multiple currents, each defining sin differently.
For example, if you come to Turkey, you won’t find any casinos. However, this doesn’t stop the Turks from enjoying gambling abroad.
Although in Islam, gambling is considered haram (an act forbidden by Allah), the gambling Turks are not publicly condemned.
At the same time, playing slots or making sports bets are the hobbies that are not approved by the society.
In Iran, the situation with gambling is completely different. Local gamblers are publicly condemned and even prosecuted by law. In the remote regions of the country, gamblers risk being executed. We won’t exaggerate by saying that among the world religions, Islam has the least tolerance towards gambling. In Islamic countries, it’s commonly believed that gamblers are driven by sin.
Hinduism
Being one of the oldest world religions, Hinduism has a pretty moderate attitude towards gambling. Hinduism incorporates a variety of schools that interpret gambling in different ways. In other words, each country or region has its own rules based on its local traditions.
According to the Indian manuscripts, gamblers should be taxed. This means that the ancient thinkers proposed to regulate gambling instead of banning it.
At the same time, in Manusmriti, the ancient legal text, casino games are mentioned among four biggest sins.
Here is a curious fact. If a gambler wins, it’s considered to be a reward for his kind doings. In other words, people a good karma have more chances of hitting a winning streak. Gamblers with a bad karma are doomed to lose because god of gambler has turned his back on them.
Is Gambling A Sin Catholic
Buddhism
While Buddhism doesn’t approve of gambling, it doesn’t prohibit it either. Shakyamuni Buddha neither encourages, not forbids betting. According to another interpretation, Buddha criticized gambling games because they may lead to disastrous losses and temptations. Anyway, in Buddhism, we find no gaming-related records that would resemble the Christian god hates sin verses.
Judaism
In the times of the ancient Judaism, a gambler risked losing his place in society or some of his rights. For example, it’s a known fact that gambling fans were not allowed to witness in court.
According to the Talmud, gambling is a sin, and rabbis agree with this statement.
Is Casino Gambling A Sin
Casino games is considered a useless and dangerous entertainment that may lead to financial problems and affects the gambler’s personality in a bad way. Gambling is definitely not approved.
At the same time, Judaism allows to raise money for synagogues by participating in special lotteries and making contributions with the so-called scripture checks. Daydale, a popular game among the Jews, is also allowed. In general, you can say that Judaism is pretty tolerant to gambling.
