Most people want to see in the bible where it is written: "Thou shalt not gamble",but since it is not so written, they argue that gambling is not a sin.I 've showed from the bible that it is a sin and that God even calls them fools,but they've argued that the bible verse I quoted is not the Word of God.Dear friend,s I want to say again that it is a sin to desire to make money without working and that gambling is mostly fuelled by covetousness and it encourages laziness.Where there is gambling there is prostitution,profanity and worldliness in full force.Sin appears in clusters! Pls don't reject the truth because if you do,there is only a lie left to be believed.May God be with you.

Bro this is what you are doing 2Timothy 4vs3-5
3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
Sound doctrine? As far as the Bible is concerned, the ONLY sound doctrine is the Word of God - Every other teaching that is not according to what God is recorded to have said, as written in the Bible, is a lie. And since God, not even through Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, never once declared gambling a sin, how can I preach that it is and believe that I preach "sound doctrine"? It is foolish to think to lie on behalf of God. undecided

The truth is God never condemned gambling as a sin, not in His Old Covenant, and certainly not in the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ.

Think carefully about these things. that is why God gave each and every man a brain of His own so He can soundly resolve these things on His own... without needing to consult other men.

When you enter into your private car or public vehicle , you must pray no matter how the length . You cover yourself with the blood of Jesus and you will be safe.
What about the over 6 billion people in the world who do not pray to God pretty much every single day, yet God's mercy and compassion see to it that they go out safely and come back home safe and sound? undecided

By the way, Jesus Christ never told you that you could cover yourself in His blood in order to be kept safe from anything that you seem to be afraid of.

THIS I DO REGULARLY FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS .
I don't gamble with my life. I can't tell you how a 4 seconds prayer of '' I cover myself and my colleagues with the blood of Jesus '' saved our lives on 3rd mainland bridge.I have been driving my private cars since 2005 and have never had a single accident.
Life with God is not gambling.
I am afraid you have been blindly gambling with your life for the past 17 years without even realizing it, and the sad part is your gamble has been with powers that are not even of God.

Jesus Christ commanded that His followers pray, not by invoking His blood, or His piss, nor His sweat, but His name... You are commanded to pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that name alone. You see, that name is used to invoke the New Covenant agreement that is Jesus Christ. No other name will do that since no other name is attached to that Covenant, much like the way the name Jehovah/YHWH is attached to the Old Covenant.

Now as far as His blood is concerned, the one instruction He gave concerning it was during the Last Passover where He commanded His followers that as they drink the wine which is His blood, they do so in remembrance of Him, Jesus Christ. The blood we drink represents His blood which is shed for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus Christ never taught His followers that His blood had any other purpose but that, and He should know, after all, it is His own blood.

Now, since Jesus Christ never instructed anyone to cover themselves in His blood for any reason, what is wisdom in such vain practice? Why do some so-called Christians think that covering themselves in His blood has meaning in it? It turns out the root of all this is from the copying of pagan practices. Covering oneself in the blood of an animal sacrificed to an idol, or entity during a ritual, is seen as a way of taking on the characteristics of the animal or to assume particular powers that the animal's spirit is said to have. Many Christians today pretend that they can go beyond God's commandment to incorporate Pagan rituals even in their worship of God, hence they go against the commandments of Jesus Christ Himself to insist that they can also cover themselves in His blood, as a way of claiming powers that Jesus Christ never suggested to them.

Life is not gambling. That is why the bible tells us in :
Hosea 4:6 KJV
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
The Bible does not tell you that life is not a gamble! From the Old Covenant, down to the New Covenant, God commands you over and over to Gamble your Life with Him.... Trust Him, and not others. Choose Him and not others. Do you think God was not aware that He was calling you to pick Him and not the other losers on the board?

Re: Gambling Is Not A Sin by chukwunweikeemi(m): 10:22pm On Dec 06, 2020
From my earlier posts and the bible verse I quoted it is clear what I meant by gambling.But since there is some misunderstanding around that,then I will clarify:
There is a certain risk involved in everything we do in life: There is risk involved in travelling by air,water,or land. There is risk involved in placing bets as one might win big or lose all,.People who participated in MMM took some risk We all take risks everyday and things which involve risk-taking is called gambling. Now I want to bring your attention to the bible verse below,it says "The fool and his money are soon parted"
Now from the above risk-takers and others you might want to add to the list,The people who are rightly described by this verse are people who
engage in get rich quick schemes that promises great fortune and requires no productive labour but will more than likely impoverish the participants"These people are risk-takers too,that is to say they are gamblers.God calls these class of risk-takers fools and he says they will soon part with their money and we know they do .So,is gambling (engaging in get rich quick schemes that promisies great fortune without productive labour but will impoverish participants) a sin? Yes it is.I hope this helps

When your ways please God , no matter the condition of the vehicle , no accident will befall you.

I am talking from experience and personal testimonies I have been having with God.
Following your reasoning above, should we then conclude that John the Baptist had his head chopped off because his way no longer pleased God?

Was Stephend stoned to death then because God was no longer pleased with him?
Was Peter killed because his way was no longer pleasing to God?
Was James, brother of John, murdered because God no longer found his way pleasing?
Was Paul murdered because God found fault in him?
Did God find fault in everyone of those first Christians who were eventually murdered do their belief - God found fault in their way?

Open your mind and your eyes to the truth of God that is before you and stop buying stock in the doctrines and lies of men, doctrines that are meant to deceive and set you apart from God forever.

I know , but the point am making here is if you are not aware of the bad condition of the vehicle.

A sound and new vehicle can develop problems that can claim the lives of the riders.

I leakeage in the break fluid can claim be a disaster to the owner and other road users.

It is God that saves
What inane point you still dey try claim for there?

Your Nigerian politicians - no be the same roads dem dey ply? No be the same God dey save everybody, including them?

God never lied to you. You chose to lie to your own self when you decided to be deceived by lies told you by those men who pose as your men of God. God's mercy and compassion is visited on the wicked, and ungrateful, as well as on the just and poor...He does not favour one group over the other in His love. His saves all of them.

Here are some foolish sayings:
"It is my body and whatever I do with it is nobody's business"
"It is my life and if I chose to destroy myself with Cancer sticks(cigarettes) it is nobody's business"
"It is my money and if I lose it at the gaming tables it is nobody's business."
This world is messed up today because people are doing that which is right in their eyes. Hardly anybody care what God says.It is true that gambling will not send anybody to hell but I doubt if anybody who enjoys gambling is truly on the way to heaven.May I also add that all we possess are not really ours and we will someday give account to God for the way we managed what he put under our care.
"The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof"
So as a christian man,it's not about me,it's all about God.

@Younghopper,Pls don't come online to justify a wicked practice such as gambling(that is engaging in get rich quick schemes that promises great fortune and requires little work but will more than likely impoverish the participants).It is one thing to commit sin,but justifying a sinful practice is evil in itself.

FYI - being saved is not the same as being born again. Salvation grants you freedom from the condemnation of sin, which is death in the grave, but the grantee it gives you is Eternal life and the chance or power to become born again/called son of God. Only those who in fact make it to becoming born again are called Sons of God and those are the ones who will Enter into Heaven.
Everyone else who is saved (has Salvation) but does not become born again will never enter into Heaven since Hell is their final destination.
