Some argue that it is not mentioned, while others claim that it might be alluded to.<\/p>\n<p> However, there seems to be no clear answer.<\/p>\n<p>In general, it can be argued that gambling is not mentioned often in the Bible. There are a few exceptions- notably, II Chronicles 21:13-15 which speaks of Jehoiachin&#8217;s addiction to gambling.<\/p>\n<p> Additionally, Proverbs 23:4-5 warns against &#8220;playing at dice and other games of chance.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Bingo may not be specifically mentioned in the Bible, but it could certainly be alluded to. For example, II Kings 4:23 mentions that Elisha &#8220;turned away all the prophets from following Baal and followed Jehova.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; This could suggest that Elisha was a religious figure who preached against gambling. Alternatively, it could simply mean that he was a devoted follower of God instead of pagan idols.<br \/>\n    <div class=\"btrs-related-posts\">\n                    <h3 id=\"7-related-question-answers-found\" class=\"btrs-related-posts__heading\">7 Related Question Answers Found<\/h3>\n                            <div class=\"btrs-related-posts-card\">\n                                    <h3 id=\"is-playing-bingo-against-the-bible\" class=\"btrs-related-posts__title\">\n                        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bingocardtemplate.org\/in-depth\/is-playing-bingo-against-the-bible\/\">\n                            Is Playing Bingo Against the Bible?                        <\/a>\n                    <\/h3>\n                                                    <div class=\"btrs-related-posts__content\">Bingo games have been around for centuries, and some people believe that playing them against the Bible is a form of cheating. The idea is that if you know the bingo card ahead of time, you can work out the winning combinations, thereby cheating the game.

The game of bingo is a lot like other games like poker, but with a different name.
