Numbers 26:55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
Joshua 14:2 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
Joshua 18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Acts 1:23-26 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
1 Corinthians 26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
As for the seven deadly sins, they are not mentioned anywhere in the Bible and are a Catholic invention. So a dedicated catholic like yourself should know that they are wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. So nope, no gambling. It's a good thing too, considering how much Bingo goes on in Catholic church basements.
Oh, and hey, welcome back to the conversation. 3 days of rambling was getting rather tedious.
