If gambling is a sin...?

Jackson Esmiol: Certainly if none of us found love from anyone we would all be sorrowful because God created us to love others and to be loved so that He has placed within us a need to love and when we have kids we love them and when we fall in love we are loved and we get to love them too. Sorrow really comes from us when we do not do the things we know to do that is to be good to others we need to always be thinking of the other person that maybe does not have someone to care for them and then our love for God is shed abroad on those who need us to love them in some way.{{{Bilbo}}} love needs to be shared and we do that by helping others and not just thinking only about ourselves all the time which is selfish and unproductive....Show more

Ervin Overbee: No, because real "gambling" means u waste ur time and energy over a stupid pack of materialistic or wordly matters to loose ur MONEY. The different denom. in Christianity are also another way for people to have fa! ith in something and praise God in however way their religion is.........i dont know how u relate gambling to christianity anyway. a hardcore christian would say they believing in God is worth giving ur life up to. money and success and wordly matters is the devil. feeling inner peace and believing in something higher is the greatest high ever possible. its surely worth it....Show more

Donnell Mollo: yes because you get addicted and then you waste all your money on chance........its not right and the inviroment is just drinking and smoking and ect ect ect ect.......

Joaquin Dronko: @ Yeng...Look up the word "Forum".Thanks.

Foster Koopmann: it,s against the 9th and 10th Commandment, "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's 'money'.

Tamatha Neubaum: of course they are a gamble.Why? Because they are all just mens interpretation of christ's life and rules that were made up to follow that.A christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ, who believes that ! he died to save your sins and is the son of god.Simple as that! . Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, Methodist etcthey're all gamble because you're just accepting one mansidea of how to follow christ's example.His example of how to live life was to simply love, everything else is secondary....Show more

Rubye Bonnin: God is not the Author of confusion.. Betting against God is the surest way to lose...Read John 1, Romans 1, and Collosians 1

Azzie Trembly: it's only a sin if you keep losing I guess lol.

Cordia Fivecoat: While this is a forum, of sorts, it is not specifically a religious forum. However, if a religious forum is what you seek, you can try BELIEF.NET. It is a blog site for people who like to post their religious views and specific topics they are thinking about.

Terrell Voltz: Gambling is different from denominations in Christianity. Gambling is being greedy for money. I mean, how can you gamble and lose all that money when you could have donated that money to charity or done something better with it? Den! ominations are not bringing out the greed in people, it is uniting a large religious group that have similar faith under one administrative.

Buster Exline: If you win you wont mind about the sin if you lose that the sin .

Cuc Gire: The theory of evolution which is backed by thousands of facts? I am Muslim and highly religious but i also have a masters in cell/molecular biology. I know what a scientifc theory is (unlike uneducated Christians). Gravity is also a scientific theory but i dont see a big debate about that! I just dont understand what makes Christians so ignorant. Your thoughts?

Launa Weingarten: Only if you're a clingy, needy, insecure person.

Sonya Volcko: yes

Len Dalba: not sure what you mean about the different denominations but is gambling in itself mentioned as a sin in the bible...i haven't found that verse. there are some churches and denominations that believe gambling is a sin and there are many people who are not religious ! that think its bad too...so where does that leave you? the only thing t! he bible says is to 'trust in the lord' meaning don't trust man or something you can't count on....personally i believe that you should believe what you want and anyone else believe whatever they want, if they are opposed to gambling then good for them...if not thats ok too. belief in anything is your, mine or anyone else's own personal business and no one should try to police that or control it....Show more

Gilberto Cratin: @ Michael..Make sure that you know what the word "forum" means before you try to correct me.Thanks.

Dana Russian:

Delmy Varano: If you are a Christian then you are gambling with your soul I would say. So that might make Christianity a sin.

Neely Youngblut: first of all gambling is not a sin . if you can find it in the bible please by all means show me . you can even e-mail me at donald236@hotmail.com . next to answer your question the man up stairs gives us all choices. so we have to make the right choice whether its right or wr! ong its still a choice we have to make .

Tyler Burkman: This isn't a forum... is it?

Arden Strachn: I know after reading the Bible that only one combination will get you to Heaven...to be with the Father....Jesus say i am the only way to the truth....he say seek me and i will show you...this is true .....just as you would gamble and play the lottery.....no matter how many numbers there are only one set.....combination of numbers get you the money.....this combination get you to heaven......Excepting GOD...THE FATHER....AND THE HOLY GHOST......living a sin free life....with a willing heart to let the HOLY SPIRIT....rest rule and abide in your life daily truly Truly Jesus assured us this can be done....anyone who claim to know Jesus should know this is true this is Bible yet Christians today say this cannot be done...I say Satan is a lie...Gods word is truth the Holy spirit is our Convictor....if he is in you your temple is safe... Satan and his demons know when J! esus is present ...he has to flee when he is ordered.....if i did gambl! e i would chose the team of everlasting life Walk as Christ walk not the way man say we should walk.......AMEN...Show more

Frederick Mccoach: Humans have to feel "love" at some point in their lives to properly thrive. It can simply be from your family and friends. I doesn't necessarily have to be from a husband or wife. But there is nothing better than an eternal bond with the girl/guy of your dreams.

Octavio Roylance: i think it is. it has to do with greed, wanting more and not being happy with what you've got.

Hope Lundmark: Gambling isn't a sin. Addiction to gambling is a sin.

Marvel Mcaulay: gambling is never a sin. its entertainment. however if you do something stupid just to gamble then its would be consider as a sin. imagine killing or robbing a bank just to gamble. that is real stupid.

Jed Porada: Hi,You see gambling is just like another drog....cigars and alcohol or extreme sports/sex...is the adrenaline..and when you start to like ! it you can never STOP ! Of course you loose your independence..you are living for gambling/smoking/drinking making sex...all the time..If it's a sin ??? Do you think the religiose people don't drink /play cards/make sex /adulters/incest/...just remember the scandals in the catholic church...then who can tel us what is good and what isn't..is your jugement is the society who make the standards ( laique or religiouse )...but in 1800-1900 when the roulette game was invented all the hight society was playing...and was not a sin...THAT'S THE EVOLUTION OF THE SOCIETY AND OUR IDEEAS/NEW RULESREGARDS,ChrisA.http:www.productselected.com...Show more

Olin Hallin: Some people have great words. wow! We need to practice what we preach. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing... comes to mind....I'm sure there are different perspectives that all make sense. There can be more than one right answer :)I think the only love that keeps one from drowning in their sorrow is Gods love. His lo! ve is unconditional. Love can fade.. but Gods love never fades♥I know! it doesn't. I may not always be adamant about my thoughts on thingsin life.. but I'm adamant that God wants me to prosper. I know that through myrelationship with Him.God bless you Bilbo. HuGzsHope...Show more

Helen Zafar: @ iloveorchids...Well, thanks for answering the question properly.But yes this is a religious forum, this section is anyway. Do you people honestly think that i don't know what this website is? My God... Thanks anyway....Show more

Alden Soldano: YES

Rebeca Mckin: It's because most religions teach how life formed as well, which is usually contradictory to the theory of evolution. I have to be honest and say that I don't know how much this applies to the Islam faith, but I imagine it's the same as well. Assuming that everyone were to follow every belief system of their religion, it's obvious why this is the common misconception. Of course, most people believe in varying amounts of the religious teachings and therefore can easily believe i! n evolution as well. Everyone has their own interpretation of religious teachings.@john- There is actually more evidence to support evolution than what we understand about gravity, so it is definitely a good argument....Show more

Roosevelt Pendill: no. there are tons of people who are happy without a partner. it is very judgmental to assume to know what other people need...

Raymundo Kyser: Wageing hard earned money on some chance .....

Rosalia Hibler: I hope you know I'm actually looking for one.I don't want you to tell me that there probably is one.

Donnie Bolio: Gambling is not a sin!!! Resentment is sin only resentment!!!

Marna Liddie: this isnt a religious forum, this is a general purpose forum, and yes if you simply google the name of your religion and forum im sure youll find plenty.

Vince Delarge: I'm pretty sure there are

Catheryn Barringer: Good point. I live by the golden rule (do unto others...) and hope it works out :)

Elvie Drumgoole: It is a religious for-dumbs , not for-ums

! Gaston Edgcomb: Ah, that would be a no.

Ismael Sixon:

Serena Doak: For some people, yes. This is dependent upon the psychology of the individual. It can be said of all humans, howerver, that love from others is essential for good mental health, and quality of life. I for one would not want to live in a world without love.May you find yours. :)

Sherita Gallati: They're all wrong...

Craig Virani: Yes it's an internet forum.Look up the word "forum".
