Doug is right. Proverbs even says so.
You seem to be confused. Perhaps you should go back and read my posts again.
My contention is that not all attempt to gather in more money, whether for yourself or for your family, are sinful.
Doug has said that all "gambling" for money is sinful, unless it is not for yourself, only your heirs.
I think this is silly, cause in gathering things for your heirs, you are still satisfying your own self.
But the main point is that my position is that not all games of chance, not all wagers or bets are sinful in and of themselves. And this is seen by the difficulty in seperating the chance and risk of loss inherent in any endeavour from that in what is traditionally thought of as "gambling."
If Doug's position that all "gambling" is wrong is to be consistent, then investment in the stock market would be wrong as well. Every type of capitalistic attempt to grow one's money would be wrong.
I don't think he means that.
