Can Christian Trade FOREX!

Considering the similarity some have tagged to Forex trading i.e: Gambling, is it ethical for Christians to trade Forex without spinning the verses of the bible?

These may be an opportunity to educate others that want to know more.

Many thanks.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with christianity, forex just like any business venture deals with the simple act of demanding and supplying. U simply have made a honest gain by supplying @ a price higer than you have purchased @ the time.

IMHO, if you can buy shares/stocks as a Christian, you can trade Forex too. Even though speculation is involved.

I'm more bothered about Binary Options, Fixed Odds, Sports Betting and the likes. Those ones appear to have gone past the grey zone.

Forex can never be gamble. I thought my pastor how to trade forex and I'm proud to say that he makes Ğoº°˚°ºϑ Money out of forex monthly. I personally can't do without forex.

For you to gain someone has to lose isn't that cheating? What does the bible say about betting?

duh, he has more donations to gamble innit?

This scam Pastors have confused all of you. Now you hediots believe that everything is sin. Trade forex, make money and give it to your pastor. Tell him how you made the money and hear what he will have to say.

As far as I am concerned, buying shares/stocks/bond is similar to FOREX trading. To even take it further, it is like buying and selling normal day to day goods and services ; they all involve a certain level of risk and speculations! If a Christian can buy shares, buy and sell goods and services, then he/she can trade FOREX !!!

Any action without due diligence as pertaining to knowledge, planning and risk assesment is tantamount to gambling and perhaps you call it sin. So whether you trade forex, stocks or bonds, whether you are a loan officer in the bank, whether you are into pure water business, entering politics to elected offices or a general leading his troops against Boko Haram, the laws remain the same. If you are not diligent in any endeavour then some other inordinate force drives you. Diligence is the key to satiation on any matter, it sets the limits greed and ensures the dynamics of proper productive work is kept.

So it is not only what you do that determines what is right or wrong but the motive, the approach, preparation and execution. These will determine whether you are in business or just playing with your life or the lives, money or opportunities of others.

Forex is all about 'online'currency trading. Except you want to tell me that anybody on the street buying and selling dollars or any other curencies are great sinners. The yearly highest donnor at christ embassy is a forex trader. Abeg, make I hear word jare.

Taking it further home to the poster, I don't think there's much of a difference between a man who takes his life savings to Vegas and camps around a slot machine with a pastor who wakes up in the morning, does no study, does no research and his entire motive is towards the offerings to be taken on sunday. Should we assume because his profession is noble we should assume he is not sinning, his church is not called Las Vegas, his pulpit a roulette table and his congregation are not gambling chips.

This question is akin to one that reads "Is it ethical for Christians to have a life?"
Since life in itself, is a risk and gamble...

Another dimension. The bible says: 'My people perish due to lack of knowledge'. Also it says, 'the wages of sin is death'. So anything that isn't backed by knowledge has one end alone - death. Not surprising that if I had the knowledge of all the cards held at the blackjack table, I would be there for weeks having a good time while the family of my competition will be signing the funeral register.

Let us not over-spiritualise everything. There is nothing wrong in trading forex. It involves an element of risk (just like any other business), so forex traders need to be smart people and do lots of research. Absolutely nothing wrong with forex trading.

Even things like spread betting and sports betting is not a sin. There is a limited amount of risk involved in anything you do, even AAA rated securities do have some risk elements. The whole thing is about using wisdom and not gambling with huge amounts that if you lose, you become unable to provide for your family. I am a Christain living in the Uk and I play the national lottery once every month. It costs only £1 to play. I have never won but £1 every month does not affect me at all. The odds are completely against me so I will invest next to nothing.

what sort of dumb question is this?

To be honest most of the ways to make money via the internet tends to be more of blackhat

which kain rubbish and dumb question be this? You for ask say can a christian go to school. na by force create thread?

This is the bumbest question ever asked on NL.Anybody who says forex is gambling is just displaying his or her deep ignorance about forex. As far as am concern,forex is just like any other buying and selling bizness,which ofcos if u dont know shit about it you will completely lose out

FOREX IS NEVER GAMBLING.IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR LEVEL OF EXPERTISE.I AM A CHRISTIAN AND AM HAPPY TO BE A FOREX TRADER.Forex trading is a LEGAL business.It is not yahoo yahoo.You seem to be confusing it.

Trading forex is NOT gambling.Banks and Big financial institutions used to trade forex.Now because of internet that why people with less capital can trade forex..

As a prospective Forex Trader, i don't think being a Christian or a Muslim has gotten anything to do with Forex Trading. It is just like any other form of biz. It is risk-oriented and requires strong speculation as it is in stock trading. In all businesses, it is either you make profit or loss at the expense of others and vice versa. It has nothing to do with religion.

Is Forex trading not about buying low and selling high to make a profit? How is this gambling - na wa ohh!

Forex like every other business is about buying and selling, just that in this case, you are trading currency. If you get a good training at http://cjfranklin.myuprizesite.com/ and have a good software that can help you with your trade, you can mitigate your lose and actually make a lot of money doing that at uprize.com after your training which comes with a demo account and an Intellitrader software, when you go life, with just an account of $2k, you can average about $100/day in your trading.

Hello, can u also teach me how to trade forex? I need it pl. Email me @ bernard4ve@yahoo.com Thanks

If it's ethical to trade forex?

since when has it become sin buying and selling goods and services?

I eat, drink and sleep forex.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with trading forex.

mkmyers45: is gambling a sin?

I don't count it sin, buh the fact that a pastor does one thing or the other does not guarantee that he/she(pastor) is right or not doing against Gods will. Just follow your mind. If you have no guilt conscience in so doing, then go ahead.

ℓ do think one's motive for trading is what matters...tho have always felt like OP about forex too...but ℓ can trade iτ cuz have always had interest in iτ...

enough said already. just ask for closure of wallstreet, NSE and also close all stock brokerage firms if forex is gambling ;
