Re: A God of Change?

You're obviously the most intelligent person on this entire forum, so I'm going to take the time to say this hoping you'll at least see the logic.

Fact: Many video games feature demons, devils, and other such putrid evils.

But who, pray tell, is tasked to combat these evils? The player, that's who. In a safe, harmless simulation, a player may take up arms, literally, in the name of God to combat evil and protect what is right and good. You're fighting on God's side.

One of Satan's most powerful tools is deceiving you into believing his side is the "good" side. Something that it seems he's already done to you.

Except in games like Fallout 3 where you can be a cannibal, blow up entire towns, massacre scores of innocent people, be a contract killer and take out "good" people, and be as evil as you want...

Or Oblivion where you can join an assassin's guild, kill whomever you want, cut down city guards, practice witchcraft and black magic, worship Satan, go to Hell, engage in rituals, and be as evil as you want..

What if he commits those satanic acts so that it's HIM instead of SOMEONE ELSE that has to forsake God in order to protect others. He might be a great martyr, you know.

That is the most ridiculous scenario I have ever heard. May I suggest that you have your dog checked for rabies.

Re: A God of Change?

Wrong in the single case that was pointed out, but yes, still wrong. I'll tell you what. Go through the whole Bible and count how many times in each Testament God does something violent and vengeful. See what you get, and then come back here and tell me I'm wrong again.

What exactly do you think that would prove?

God is no less "vengeful" in the New Testament. He has provided a New Covenant, under which we do not have to engage in animal sacrifices. Jesus died temporarily (three whole days before He resurrected Himself) so we don't have to gut goats and chickens and doves on an altar any more.

However, if we do not repent, we get to spend eternity being tortured in the fiery pits of Hell.

I'd say that's rather vengeful.

Why do you hate Jesus?

Fun Fact: Logic was created by a polytheistic ancient Greek. Is it such that logic is wrong?

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: A God of Change?

You quote "fun" facts, I'll quote true facts - the Greeks may have given us the noun but it was God who gave us logic.

Logic cannot be wrong; if it were wrong, it would not be logic.

Shoo!

Re: A God of Change?

Interesting the fool here brings up topics put to bed nearly 1/2 year ago. You would of thought if there was more to be said it would been said when the thread was still viable. He seems like the sort that delivers the punch line long after the joke was forgotten. It seems slowness of the mind is his forte.

Thank you Pastor Bathfire, for re-aligning the topic and placing my mis-quoted elderly comment back into context. Seems the fool likes to pick and chose words to misconstrue, just like he does with the Bible. Interesting

Re: A God of Change?

Or a game like God Of War III in which you got to defeat Zeus, the one and only true God, that owns like hell! Nobody beats Zeus!
