CASTING LOTS is gambling

CASTING LOTS
Is a form of
DIVINATION
And it is
GAMBLING
( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleromancy )

So, why is that from the time of the Hebrew scriptures to the Apostles in the New Testament, God’s people were not prohibited from CASTING LOTS? ( https://carm.org/what-casting-lots )

The Answer primarily is that their prayers were directed to the True God Jehovah, not to false gods and demons.

Casting lots is considered not necessary anymore because we have the Holy Spirit to help us and answer our prayers, but what about gambling? There is absolutely nothing in the Ten Commandments or in the entire Mosaic Law that prohibit or condemns gambling.

The problem is even greater because business and investing is gambling, and all competitive sports is gambling. Gambling is not simply playing cards, rolling dice or playing mahjong for money. And throwing or rolling dice is practically a literal example for casting lots.
The Bible even endorses making money by investments:
Deuteronomy 23:20; Matthew 25:27; Proverbs 28:8

SO, IF IT IS PRACTICED SIMPLY AS A GAME, NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS ANY DEITY IN PRAYER, WHY IS GAMBLING CONSIDERED A SIN?

My suspicion is that casting lots has something to do with casting spells. Casting is also implied in fore-casting as in fortune telling, which is likewise integral to gambling. If it does not used as consultation with the True God, like casting lots and the Gospels (originally meaning God spells or good spells), then it is very likely a form of divination.

CONFESSION OF FAITH

  WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, OUR FAITH, IS NOT BASED ON TRUTH IN ANY WAY, OR HISTORICAL FACTS WHETHER IT IS THEOLOGY OR SCIENTIFIC PROOF, BUT RATHER ON WHAT WE WANT TO BELIEVE. THEREFORE, I WANT TO BELIEVE IN A GOD THAT IS COMPREHENSIBLE AND IS REVEALED IN NATURE AS AWESOME. NOT AS AN UNINTELLIGIBLE TRINITY. I WANT TO BELIEVE THE MESSIAH WAS THE FIRSTBORN, ARCH-ANGELIC SON OF GOD WHO CHOSE TO BE REBORN AS HUMAN AND SACRIFICED HIS IMMORTAL SOUL TO GIVE US IMMORTALITY THAT WE LOST BY THE SIN OF ADAM AND EVE. "If there be for him an angel, a mediator , one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, and he is merciful to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom ; let his flesh become fresh with youth ; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor '; then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness . He sings before men and says: 'I sinned and p

BIRTH OF BABYLON

Now all the earth continued to be of one language and one set of words. And it came about that in their journeying eastward they eventually discovered a valley plain in the land of Shinar, and they took up dwelling there. And they began to say, each one to the other: "Come on! Let us make bricks and bake them with a burning process." So brick served as stone for them, but bitumen served as mortar for them. They now said: "Come on! Let us build ourselves a city and also a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a celebrated name for ourselves, for fear we may be scattered over all the surface of the earth." -- Genesis 11: 1-4. And Jehovah proceeded to go down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built. After that Jehovah said: "Look! They are one people and there is one language for them all. And this is what they start to do. Why, now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be unattainable for them. Come now!

A Sacred Heirloom - Genesis

A Sacred Heirloom The book of Genesis is a pure, sacred and coveted record of our original ancestors, during the most important time of humanity’s existence – our beginnings. Unfortunately, it’s truth and reality had been obscured in the historical mire of human civilizations from the nearly six thousand years of embellishments of national biases and exaggerations. The following text is from a book I don’t think is available in electronic form. So, I have edited my own copy of it just to reduce the full amout of text. This is a book I beleve that all Christians should have, especially any who needs more faith of the Holy Bible as the Word of God. PART 1 INTRODUCTION: Wiseman, P.J.
