Christians should not gamble and encourage others to do so by doing so. God has a well ordered universe. Man creates chaos, and mystery, chance, that life is but a game of chance, wherein anything and just about anything can happen.

San Jose John, You could say it another way, "I wouldn't play the lottery simply because the chances of losing everything significant are extremely high." And many have! If the odds favored the gambler instead of the gambling house, the gambling houses wouldn't be in existence. But they know there are many more losers than winners who enter their doorways (in more ways than one). It is coveting an illusion... 1/1/10 1:22 PM ErnieG    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments The lottery is just another tax on the poor because they are the ones who mostly are playing it. The real odds of hitting it are like getting hit with lightning on a "clear" day! Our country should not be in the business of encouraging people to play the lottery where the chances of winning are practically nil! If you have ever seen the documentaries on those who have won it, most of them have had much more tragedy than happiness as money gained in this manner has little value. That is because despite what the world tries to tell us, money can not buy you happiness, love, friends, etc. When the money is gone, so are all of those! "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and have pierced themselves through, with many sorrows". 1Ti 6:10 (KJV) We all should be praying and thanking God for what we Have and not what we don't have if we really want His blessing on our lives! 12/31/09 9:22 PM San Jose John  | San Jose, CA    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments No. Even if I thought it was morally OK to do so, I wouldn't play the lottery simply because the chances of winning anything significant are extremely remote.
