I can not find any mention of gambling in the bible. However, the bible refers to addictions throughout the bible. Gambling is a well documented addiction. Addictions are inevitably placed before God which is a sin. Also with this tpye of addiction finances come to mind. We are commanded by God to be good stewards of our finances. I do not believe that gambling falls under being good stewards. prayon | ||||||

A good, reasonable answer, prayon. But that is not unusual for you :-) Gambling can indeed be an addiction par excellence. And, as you point out, gambling bears no hallmark of responsible stewardship. When somebody "wins" at gambling, others lose. Furthermore, the lords of the casinos are the ones who ultimately profit. It can hardly be said that they have the best interests of their clients at heart. A Christian surely cannot claim he enhances his influence as a witness for Christ by hanging out in a gambling hall. --Hank | ||||||
