Re: Is gambling a sin?

I think if you have the money to play with no issue. But if you're letting it whipe you out, it's foolishness. The sin comes with not providing for your own family.

Re: Is gambling a sin?

What about poker and blackjack? I think those games are fun to play, is that a sin? Because it is fun. What about if you can afford to lose some money? What about entertainment purposes? I know some people who like to play just for fun?

It could be. Depends on the heart of the person.

Also, is it being abused? Are they wrecking their home, marriage, personal life? Has it gone beyond entertainment and into a god, an idol, a source of trust that they believe will be their sustainer?

Otherwise, my friends and I enjoy many a poker game
