Christian is it okay for a pastor to play casino?

My sisters father in law is a pastor and every Sunday the old man goes to casino to play or gamble and loses a lot of money lol

“All things are lawful [that is, morally legitimate, permissible], but not all things are beneficial or advantageous. All things are lawful, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].”

The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to “get rich quick” (Proverbs 13:11; 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10).

The pastor is not a christian and does not play by the cult’s rules.


His job is to use religion fool the rest of you into giving him your money to go gamble with.


Getting rich on the gullibility of others is what religion is for and it works very well.

maybe maybe not.

every Sunday sounds like addiction. unless he's trying to bring people to Jesus, then it's mission work.

In general, I've never seen this. sounds unhealthy and questionable. It's also a place where have to really have yoru guard up so doing get into worse trouble.

Pastor is one of the higest failure rate professions for reasons and a lot of churches are struggling financially now. Maybe he's in hard times... he's human.

It’s not that simple.

man judges outward appearance, God judges the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7

everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. 1 Corinthians 6:12

he’s ostensible being unwise, and he (and others) will have to deal with the consequences of his actions/decisions - just like all of us with any of our decisions.

I’ll leave it at that.

Have you not figured out that the whole religion is dysfunctional?

Do you really believe that the bible is the 100% pure unadultered literal word of god even though it was passed on to us by our satanic enslavers?

There is hidden truth in religion, but you won't find crowds preaching about it.

First of all the pastor loves money a lot, is a money worshiper, "you cannot serve two masters", so if he is worshipping money then he is anti biblical god.

Lol yeah thats why I dont go to his church cuz everytime he preaches I think of his casino my mind is like this dude is not listening to what he is saying

No, not at all.
Jesus destroy thous who He finde inside of the Holy Teample and destroy all the money maker tables, even if they whas buisnis mens.

No, since gambling is seen as greed. A sin. One of the 7 deadly ones
