Hi there, the Bible doesn't speak explicitly about gambling and strictly speaking, there is very little difference between gambling and gaming.

The only issue here is addiction to gambling - which, whether you are a Christian or not - is a bad thing.

if gambling without addicted, good or bad? gambling consider fool? if yes then bible did talk about foolish..

Well, then that depends. A lot of things are foolish, not just gambling. But of course, if someone was good at poker and he earns a lot of money from it, then is it still wrong? Erm, I dunno. People make a lot of money from Starcraft and Counterstrike as well.  smile.gif

But yeah, those who waste their money at slots are stupid people and I don't think you'd need the Bible to know that.  tongue.gif

What a great question!

There are many many members of church institutions.

How many are true disciples?

We have a discipleship conference in May 2012.

Come and join us!

Hey I got a question here
1 Corinthians 5:11
"But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person."

So this chapter basically talks about paul telling the corinthian about sexual immorality. Then he goes saying the verse above.

But I thought we should eat with sinners but why is Paul saying otherwise ya ?

I know he's trying to tell corinthian not to talk or eat with another so called "Brother/Sister" who has commited adultery/incest
*
imo the keyword is associate. the associate mean attached. christian used to be best friend among other christians (brother and sister). by associate to them, it would have some influence. in current churches that are religious, they would expel that christian off from church membership for the sake of other members after several refusal to change by the offender.

above all just my opinions.

This only apply for people who are already Married. Not for people who are yet to be married.

really? so far paul no expressly telling that it only refer to people who are yet to be married o. neither do paul imply that also. it would be controversial if u say that only refer to those "who are already married"

definitely there're pros and cons here, if spouse is not believer, chances it would become believer or in other hand, the believer would be influence and drift away from christianity.

Read the scripture.
That means you're already married.

It didn't say,

if any brother is going to have a wife or given in marriage.

That is why there are 2 parts in the scripture that talks about,

2 Corinthians 6:14: Do not be unequally yoke with unbelievers and this verse.

One for before Marriage (2 Corinthians 6:14:) and One for after Marriage. (2 Corinthians 6:14)

but it didn't mean that the "brother" is newly converted? anyway no offending intention smile.gif enlighten me..
