Bible Questions Episode 61 (Gambling)

Slot machines, blackjack, and roulette wheels.  Poker, bingo, and sports betting. Powerball, lotto, and scratch games. If it involves an element of chance and you can bet money on it, you can count on it being turned into a form of gambling. In this episode, we will see what the Bible says about gambling and we will answer these and other questions:

• Isn’t gambling just another form of entertainment, like spending money to go to the movies, playing golf, going bowling, paying to attend a sporting event, or spending money on a hobby?
• Isn’t investing in the stock market the same as gambling?
• What methods does the Bible say we can use for acquiring wealth?
• Would it be wrong for a person to accept a scholarship funded by the lottery?
