AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows. |
Bible Question: My son asked me why gambling is wrong and where can that be found in the Bible. I have searched some and have come up empty. Please offer any help. Thanks! and God Bless you!!! |
Bible Answer: read 1 Timothy 6:6-10 I don't think it mentions (specifically) anywhere in the bible that 'gambling' is a sin. But it's the LOVE of money that is...and also trying to get something from nothing. I like how Paul talks about being content with what you have (I repeat that to myself often, when I find myself wanting something I don't have). http://www.biblestudyguide.org/bible-answers/gambling.htm this site goes into detail about it, if you'd like to check that out. It should help. Hope everything works out okay! -bren |
