I disagree. Life insurance is a testimony of love for loved ones. Especially yrs ago when women did not work. Preminums were hard to pay, but men did it so that their wife and children would be able to survive if something happened to them. That is not greed IMO. It is a gamble with a finncial reward. Which Doug defined as sinful.
I certainly don't think it's sinful. But you can not deny that there is a chance of significant payout for a small payment. Based upon the chance of a person dying. The odds even change based upon age and other factors.

Insurance would be a matter of the heart. Gambling at a casino cannot be a testimony of love from the heart for others. I have never known anyone that gambles who is not doing for the excitment at the chance of hitting big, and the benefit that will bring to themselves.
