I'm a Christian and I enjoy playing poker with my friends. However, I'm not sure if playing poker is allowed in Christianity. I want to know if there's any religious restriction on playing poker as a Christian.

    As believers, we are advised to steer clear of any conduct that even remotely resembles evil, as stated in the biblical verse, "Abstain from all appearance of evil" [1 Thessalonians 5:22].

    This principle applies universally to all forms of gambling, regardless of whether some may argue that playing poker for money is not inherently wicked.

    The criteria for determining right from wrong rest not on human perception but on God's divine standard.

    Gambling, in any form including playing poker, is not an endeavor that aligns with Christian values.

    Any activity that consistently leads one into sinful behavior is considered evil in God's sight.
