Bible Question: Would selling raffle tickets for a quilt that was donated to the Ladies Group of our church be considered gambling? |
Bible Answer: Hello pbp, I had always wondered what was wrong with gambling, such as the lottery, raffles, and other games of chance. I found out that it causes covetousness. Through these games of chance it can also make people poor. It also helps people to break the Tenth Commandment. Especially if it is a desirable item to have, Like a beautiful quilt or 26 million dollars, now who wouldn't want that? Deut 7:25 "The graven images of their gods you are to burn with fire; you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, or you will be snared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God. Something to consider, wordoer |
