Subject: Does the Bible say gambling is a sin? |
Bible Note: 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 |
