I have a question. Where in the bible does it say not to gamble?

Gambling is a sin. Here are some resources for you:

http://www.biblestudyguide.org/bible...s/gambling.htm
http://www.rpc.org/morals/gambling.htm
http://www.christiananswers.net/q-acb/acb-g001.html

So, I guess the real question, then, is whether you care more about what God says, or playing poker. Easy choice for me.

It doesn't have to say 'thou shalt not gamble.' Just like it doesn't have to say 'thou shalt not jerk off to naked pics of Asia Carrera.'

Follow the spirit of the bible, not the word.

I think the above links pretty much put the nail in the coffin about gambling being a sin. Unless this is one of those convenient disagreements between Christians that allow them to rationlize behavior others look down on.
