Re: Gambling is a sin?

The Holy Ghost will lead people in the right path. I don't have the money to spare to give to a lottery system who is making money off people trying to get easy gains. In the end it is the people who lose. I can't give scripture, but I have seen experience. I know people who have hit the lottery for like 30,000+ and they are all now divorced and there finances are not any better for it.

Winning the lottery, at casinos, etc. causes people to want to continue to play the odds. In the end it seems to have an addictive influence that is deep rooted. Although gambling isn't specifically mentioned to my knowledge in scripture to forbid it, people will be better to make the choice to abstain.
