Gambling with Eternity Summary

From Scripture Advocate
Revision as of 16:36, 29 January 2025 by Elder (talk | contribs)

Warning: Gambling is a dangerous activity and topic. It can be addictive. The following articles use the Casino as an extended metaphor to living in a fallen and sinful world. Most of these articles describe the terrible effects of casinos on life and communities.

The Bible does not directly say much about gambling. In fact, there is nothing to suggest that gambling in-and-of-itself is a sin. However, it can be closely associated with many sinful activities. Where money is involved people will covet, lie, cheat, steal, even idolatry. There is a powerful reason why both the casinos have such strong security and the people have such strong gaming commissions and oversight committees to ensure things are legitimate and no cheating or illegal activities are done by either side.
