Question

Is it okay for Christians to go to casinos and gamble? Is there anything against this in the Bible?

Answer 1

No

Yes.

It goes against many Bible principles.

Gambling is a form of greed, hoping to benefit from other people's losses, hoping to reap where one did not sow, having some superstitious "lucky number" etc.

1 Cor 6:9,10 lists the practices that will keep one out of God's Kingdom. Greed is among them.

Answer 2

Yes.  It's OK.  There is no scripture against it.  The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5).  Have fun.

Answer 3

The word of christ and god is to not hurt anyone

Answer 4

Yes, gambling is a sin.

The Bible condemns most of life's pleasures.

Be an athiest... we have much more fun.

Answer 5

no gambling is a sin.with drugs and alcohol.they're mentioned in the bible together.

Answer 6

No. Yes, it is something we should not do. However, if you do, then you should give money to the charity or church. Did you hear about the people who gave the whole lottery ticket win to their growing church

Answer 7

For the follower of Jesus who is sincere in wanting to please His Lord this might be helpful:

Would Jesus go into a casino and gamble? Or would you take Jesus into a casino so you could gamble? Anywhere that Jesus would not go or anywhere that you would not want to take him should be off limits for you too.
