Is gamble a sin?

[SmartGold01]

Due to findings bible did not condemn gamble or betting as sin but addiction to it is sin,while bible condemn the love of money,but as a gambler you have already love the money before involving,a gambler has an objective and that objective is to win to double your stake,due to my conclusion those playing it for fun are not sinners,while the addicted one's are sinners.

I don't see this as something detrimental or bad to people who anticipated in gambling and even if Bible doesn't condemned it that doesn't mean other religious may not condemned it as well. Like I know gambling has been in existence since the origin of man and gambling is not something bad to my knowledge but the process of gambling and getting addicted is where we can say is a bad habit, anyone who can gamble within his means is term to be a response gambler.

I think we are in the era wherein everyone is free to do whatever we wanted, despite what the Church is going to day.

Even Pope Francis approves Catholic blessings for same-sex couples, but not for marriage. So it means that they religions are adopting to the new world environment and their rules are not etch in stone.

With that, gamblers shouldn't feel guilty or what when they play. Just go where you will he happy, in my opinion.

We usually define sin depending on our religious stand and affiliation so this all can be different from one person to another. Now, according to the general principles of the Judeau-Christian belief, something that can be destructive to you, your family and the society can be considered as a sin so in this sense with gambling to be addictive then it can be classified as a sin. However, we know that the subject of sin is not a matter of yes and no there are other factors at play in here. At the end, individuals has to decide for themselves how they do view gambling and it is all up to each of us to act accordingly.

We as a person has a different view with regards to gambling and if we based our views on the bible and other holy books then for sure gambling is a sin may it for fun or you are addicted to it but my point is that no one really knows if what we are doing here on Earth is a sin or not as we have not meet our creator yet.

Those who stick to religion and what they can proclaim is difficult to change their mind, or it is almost impossible and even more so when they are fanatics that is something that does not work, however now things can be seen in a Different way , some have already Discovered that some things were changed by the leaders of the Church and to their convenience, the truth has not been told yet, there are many things that have not been Uncovered and that makes many are looking for the truth, so saying that the game is bad is a belief that for me personally is Absurd.

Gambling is not a sin any day as gamble has been existing right from the days of the Bible infact the cloth of Jesus too was used in gambling in the Bible when the soldiers throw dice to decides who wins the cloth of Jesus when he was about to be hanged in the cross

What we should be discussing about is is the abuse that most people who engage in gambling gets involved in due to lack of self control and subjecting once feeling and passion in check because when gambling becomes an addiction it becomes a big problem to the person which will be very difficult for the person because gambling addiction can lead to someone not been able to saving of money which can possibly lead to financial crisis especially going into been a deptor

Well for me gambling will not become a sin as long as it does not create a problem to you and your spiritual belief but even though gambling was mentioned on holy scriptures it is still not a proof that it is legal in the eyes of god. It's just like taking risk on something so if we really want or need it then it's up to us.

[bayu7adi]

In the Muslim scriptures from what I read on the internet, gambling is categorized as a sin because it contains elements of cheating... logically, we all certainly hate and condemn all cheating done by bookies to get money from gamblers... that makes sense and may be another reference, why gambling can be categorized as a sin, one of which is to avoid other cheating.

Until now in football matches or other sports, we often see that players or athletes are threatened by gambling mafia and are forced to give in for the victory of other teams or athletes, this fixing score often occurs and reduces sportsmanship in the world of sports because of the motive of cheating by gambling mafia.

One of the things people do for fun is gambling. Although not everyone gambles, if this issue is covered by religion, then there is nothing to say. As far as I know, religion has told people to avoid things that harm the common man, but I think if someone enjoyed gambling without making it an issue of financial gain and if gamblers did not have any negative impact, then religion would not have given much priority to these issues. In any case, it is better for those whose religion prohibits gambling to stay away from gambling.

We as humans are too rigid in our analysis of some things that gives us fun like gambling what we should be more concerned about is abuse which will lead someone into addiction which has a whole lot of disadvantages that are attached to it if not I don't see anything wrong in some one engaging in gambling because it's morally and legally right as far as you have attained the age that is stipulated in the law so there is nothing wrong with someone gambling because religion it's is hindrance to the success and development of any reasonable society

Well, personally, when it comes to matters of religion and/or politics things get delicate, sometimes with the slightest comment, your words are misinterpreted, one can find or gain enemies and unintentionally, so in that case this must be dealt with very tactfully , however I say something, for religions that are very radical that say that the game is all, it depends on the person if they want to abide by it or not, personally if they tell me not to play because it's bad, whoever it is, I won't listen, maybe because I have another spiritual level, but when they are merely led to religion the opposite happens.

[Didia Sofunichi]

I think gambling is a sin if we talk of it as a whole regardless of what religion you are in the only thing is that humans don't call it a sin because they are involve on it maybe you need to get advice from your religious leaders about this issue because every religion has it's own do's and don'ts.

I think it will make a whole lot of sense if you are able to give reasons why you think gambling is considered a sin across all religions. You might be making a blunder because I doubt if you have encountered or studied the philosophy behind religious on earth

You are right, about the reason why religion and betting are difficult to interpret. If a small change in meaning is made here, it can create big problems. One person can misunderstand another. Moreover, since I do not know much about religion, it is not very logical to comment on it. However, if gambling is not allowed in religion, then many people gamble, it is their personal matter and they will be responsible for it. Now what they do has become completely their own matter. I have said before that if gambling is prohibited in someone's religion, then it is appropriate for them not to gamble.

Well, personally, I am very open-minded about religion. I have been Catholic since I was little, but I am one of those who go to Mass every Sunday. No, I am lazy, I can't, I am not one to be in these things, but that does not mean that I am not with God the Heavenly Father. On the Contrary , my Spiritual level does not need those things, because I know that I can do Good things Without needing to go to church or for people to see me. No, the important thing is what one does and that we know when things are done well or badly.

I'll answer your question without any relation to religion as much as possible.

Is gamble a sin? No, but it can be a trigger for you to commit sins. It's like when scammers are using Bitcoin as a tool, gambling is just a tool for those gamblers to commit sins. Gambling itself for me isn't a sin, and I might be a Catholic, but I didn't read something out there telling that gambling itself is a sin although for some religions, they see gambling as a sin hence, they are moving away from gambling as much as possible.
