Is Football Betting A Sin? by massinola(m): 8:47am On Nov 24, 2017
I need urgent answers from those who know. I was discussing with a friend of mine yesterday and he condemned sports betters in strong terms. Clearly, what I see from his speech is that all sports betters are liable to hell fire. I have checked my Bible to and fro but can't lay my hand on where the Bible condemned betting (I stand to be corrected).
Please any one with clear argument should help out. Not just what you think but back up your argument with biblical quotations.
To me oo it is not a sin as these betting firms are registered business who pay their taxes. Not condemned by the law. Not encouraging it though. But because I don't do it doesn't mean people who do are committing sin.
Please opinions needed

God is not a God of chance. Why subscribe your life to chance. It's a sin, because it tells about your greed.

This is what I hate. I said bible quotations to back your argument and not what you think. If God is not a God of chance, why did the apostles use chance to select Judas's replacement? Acts 1 v 23-26. Please if you don't have biblical backings, allow those who have to comment

Prov 14:12 "
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Is the answer to your question.

That's the answer to the question. There are things you think it's right but the end result leads to destruction.

I quoted the right verse of the Bible to suit what you desire. The list of the flesh leads to destruction

Betting is the same as gambling and they are all sin in the sight of God.
He who is not faithful in little things will not be faithful in big things....
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

How can you consider gambling and betting a sin if they didn't even exist when God wrote the Bible?
