    Wasting or squandering money is sinful. If you are addicted to anything but God it is a sin. If you are a slave to lottery, that is a sin. If lottery becomes your God, that is sinful. If you are constantly using your money for lottery but you dont sow in the kingdom and in other people's lives, then that is a sin. If you just play it once or twice then ofcourse it is not a sin or it won't lead you to hell. Some sins lead to death as the Bible and some dont but we must be very careful as believers to be good stewards of whatever God has given us. We must not be lovers of money, which is why many people play the lottery so much because they crave money so much.

    Hey christians,
    It is really up to each of you.
    When you think about all of the money a person "wastes" in their life, a dollar a play isn't really that much, especially when you consider all the endorfins (sp?) you create when you do it.
    If you say, "Then it is a drug!", I am going to agree with you 100%. Drinking that cup of coffee in the morning is also a drug delivery exercise, but I don't hear Cristianity reeling over that one.
    We live in a fallen world, carrying around fallen natures.
    We all need Jesus more and more.

    I feel like gambling for lottery is the beginning of the breakage of your Dependency on God. That’s what I feel the Holy Spirit is saying.
    Who are you depending on to finance you? Did not God say test Him on this one thing-by Giving and Lending Generously (that person is Blessed as Psalms 112 also says).
    Trust in God. God Bless

      Greed- intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.
      If a person plays only when the jackpot is large and with the motive to help others, does that fall under the category as greed?
      Gambling is a door of temptation ( especially after a win). There are numerous scriptures that warn us about temptations

    Playing the lottery.
    Mmmmmmm.
    Back when, everyone around me were pretty much in the same boat as I was, living paycheck to paycheck, except I was single. I developed a habit of 'giving a few bucks' to families every month. Well, it 'got around' that I was doing it, and I would have people coming up to me after church, and I knew what they wsnted.
    This isn't what I intended at all.
    I had to stop doing it.
    Playing the lottery, you think if you win all the people you could help. But, would you actually come down to helping them?
    Most times not. The bigger house, more expensive cars, all of your "new friends" is intoxicating.
    I was working for a multimillionaire restuarant franchise owner. We were in a parking lot, and a woman approached us with her hand out. I was curious what he would do. He said to her, "What would you do if we weren't here. This isn't a plan."

      I don't think God has any problem with us investing for retirement. That is smart planning. Black Jack on the other hand can wipe out you out or put you in serious debt. Bingo??? still gambling but wouldn't take your life's savings. These are only my feelings on the subject. I stay away from all of it.

    • @CyborgNinja7
      @CyborgNinja7 3 роки тому +1

      It depends how it's offered. If it's offered as a recompense for the sin of entering the lottery in the first place, then I believe it's ok. If it's offered in the abundance of this person's newfound wealth, then no. I am reminded of Zacchaeus, who gave away his wealth and repaid back four times to those he cheated.

    • @GT-OD

      How does recompensating your fortune to the church is ok when the church was never harmed or deceived in the process of receiving your gambling fortune?

    • @CyborgNinja7
      @CyborgNinja7 3 роки тому

      @@GT-OD This is why I mentioned Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus had so much wealth that even after repaying those he cheated 4x, he had money left over. They give back to God (as churches do the Lord's work). The Church should have programs to donate to the poor, like Zacchaeus did. Or the person can give more directly to the poor. For such a large amount, it would typically be through a ministry.

    • @GT-OD
      @GT-OD 3 роки тому

      So essentially your saying fortune that is manifested by sin can be or should be used for righteousness (giving) towards people to be recompense of your greed. In which most lottery winners would have to do to for claims on federal tax.

    I don't think it is a sin to play lottery. It is one of those small businesses entirely up to the player to understand and accept the risks involved which include the risk of losing over and over again, and its consequent addiction in the hope of winning until may be one lucky chance or more!
