Bible Question: Is gambling scriptural sin or just a sin created by man to make man more holy in mans eye? My wife and I were discussing Gambling today. And instinctively responded to a certain situation with it is wrong because the word says it is wrong. That answer troubled my spirit, having a fair knowledge of the word. And after some research found that the bible is quiet on this subject. With the exception of the casting of lots, in which God is in the middle of most all references to this item. Is our only response to this item in life to refrain from all appearance of evil, and is it evil, because of the doctrines of man and not God??? |
Bible Answer: tomn thanks, it was my first shot at this, I love it. Info. there was great, however it seems the wisdom of man, or fear of man, or fear of freedom in relationship to the Father was driving most answers. I wonder how many of the great wells of wisdom could have been a Hosea and married a harlot. Or figuring the odds would have stepped into a flooding Jordon river to move into the promise land. Personnaly I shall refrain from the use of gambling as an entertainment, for the sake of the brethrens' faith. I love this place. |
