Are there any bible quotations that directly condemn gambling?

Question

If so will you share please?

Answer 1

The Bible does not mention the word "gambling", but the Bible does give clear principles to show that gambling is wrong. Please read 1 Timothy 6:9,10 where love of money leads to all sorts of hurtful desires. Don't you think that would apply to gambling? Think about it.

Isaiah 65:11,12
11 “But YOU men are those leaving Jehovah, those forgetting my holy mountain, those setting in order a table for the god of Good Luck and those filling up mixed wine for the god of Destiny. 12 And I will destine YOU men to the sword, and YOU will all of YOU bow down to being slaughtered; for the reason that I called, but YOU did not answer; I spoke, but YOU did not listen; and YOU kept doing what was bad in my eyes, and the thing in which I took no delight YOU chose.”

Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. Proverbs 13:11

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mark 10:25

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2

[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:7,8

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches] ? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own ? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:11-13

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor COVETOUS man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Ephesians 5:5

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor COVETOUS, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9,10

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, COVETOUSNESS, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: Mark 7:21,22

Take heed, and beware of COVETOUSNESS: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:15

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
