Bible Question: Isn't gambling a sin?? And...Are scratch tickets considered gambling?? I need help with this, my husband and I are finding possible sins within our church and this one was found. I cannot find anything in the bible under gamble or gambling, so I need some help, before we bring it to our pastors attention. Thanks so much. May your ministering be blessed. By His Grace, Lyn |
Bible Answer: Dear Lyn, I sure you mean well but, planning to go to the leadership of your church to inform them about sins among the members, seems a bad idea to me. Number One: You should have strong scriptual evidence. You would not want to be found guilty of trampling on the liberty we have in Christ. Number Two: Luke 17:3 "Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him." You go to your brother or sister. Number Three: I'm sure your Pastor knows that sin exists in the church. If he is human he probably sins every day just like you and just like me. Number Four: I don't believe that gambling isas bad as say....being a busybody. John |
