Gambling is about taking risks in a game of chance for a reward, so many Christians would argue that it involves the sin of greed. That does not mean The Bible is silent on the matter. For that reason, The Bible does not list gambling as a form of temptation to be resisted.
While gambling has existed since the dawn of mankind, most modern forms of gambling have only existed in the past few generations or past few centuries at the most. That is because Christianity has many sects and denominations, and gambling is accepted in many countries where Christianity proliferates.ĭo Catholics consider gambling a sin? Do protestants believe gambling is a sin? While gambling is considered a sin in many religions, not everyone knows how gambling is perceived in Christianity.
