Title: Lottery
Post by: Craig on September 09, 2007, 12:42:22 PM
    Hi Ray,
     
    Here's a situation that I found myself in.  One day at work a group of my co-workers decided to start a lottery pool.  Everyone knew that I wasn't going to participate because they know that I'm a Christian.  So they all decided that if they were going to win that they was going to share some of the winnings with me.  Now I thought this was nice of them to even think about sharing some of their winnings with me.  But I immediately thought that I would look like a hyprocrite because I don't gamble so why should I take part in their winnings?  My question to you is do you think that it is wrong for me to take money from someone who won the lottery?  Please back it up with scripture?
     
    Thank You
     

    Dear Nichole: I'm sorry, but there are no Scriptures that tell us whether: "...it is wrong for you to take money from someone who won the lottery."
    God be with you,
    Ray
