No there is no commandment saying that gambling is a sin but there is scripture that say's that if a man should eat then he must work. Read 2 Thessalonians 3:7-12. If you go to the casino and win a million dollars is that a blessing, you did not earn it by the sweat of your brow. | ||||||

" No there is no commandment saying that gambling is a sin but there is scripture that say's that if a man should eat then he must work. Read 2 Thessalonians 3:7-12. If you go to the casino and win a million dollars is that a blessing, you did not earn it by the sweat of your brow." Dear Deacon, Yes, winning a million dollars CAN (I said CAN) be a blessing. And earning a living by the sweat of my brow, as you remember, is a curse. Gen 3:17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. Gen 3:18 "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return." And read 2 Thess 3:10 again, Deacon. You've misquoted it. "For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either." It does not say a person MUST work, it says that if a one is not WILLING to work. Peace, Lionstrong |
