Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

So you couldn´t even be bothered to read all the arguments?

That is not what I said at all. I wanted to say my statement on the original post as that was my sole reason to post, but as I said I don't mind reading all 35 pages it was just not an important factor on my thoughts of the reason I posted.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

That is fair, ask any question and I will reply and I will do my absolute best to give multipule verses so as to prove my point.

I don't have any question for you. If you'd like me to consider some point you'd like to share, kindly contribute Scripture to support it.

I did not mention what you said, I mentioned what you did. Right there is a profound difference, but please continue.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

What proof do you have that He is not coming back? What proof do you have that God does not exists?
Burden of proof is on you, girl. In this forum we all believe in God, so claiming the opposite requires evidence. I'm all ears.

Technically, you cannot prove something isn't.

Technically, you cannot prove something isn't.

Then again, why should a Christian be bothered to do that: Exodus 3:14

Alright well let me start with this.
""Creeper," the true hero of the game, is a man who, when he saw the wages of sin, turned away from the devil's lowly works and turned his attention to the LORD. Undergoing a near-death experience, not entirely unlikeCHRIST, Creeper returned, and took afterJESUS' example, bringing not peace, but a sword. Like theHOLY SPIRIT, Creeper can move about like a thief in the night, and when he does arrive, he brings the fires of hell to pass judgment on the wicked gallery of sin. Why, I managed to illustrate2 Peter 3:10very well to my son using Creeper as an example, and for every soul he collects,HISfaith is that much stronger, and he gains life from them, in the same way that we gain life from the sacrifice ofCHRIST. Although he is far fromCHRISTHIMself (Creeper is after all a Mexican), as a stand-in illustration, I believe he is a healthy influence."

Pslams 34:14 14Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
1 Peter 3:9-11 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.
Hebrews 12:14
14Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

So with those three verses right there his entire argument as to why this one character is so "Christ-like" is flawed.
Now I know this will be taken as "proof" that all the game is evil then but wait there is more.

""Marcie," the devil in disguise! This wretched hag has the gall to resurrect others without once invoking the LORD JESUS CHRIST'Sname. Whatever I have said of other characters, this I say now, she is doubtlessthe most sinful character in any media I have ever witnessed, a falsely modest, nasty, two-facedliarwho would make Hillary Clinton blush! The most thankful part of this game is that she dies easily when not hiding like a gutless coward behind her brainwashed sin puppets. Marcie is the whore of Babylon,which is shown in the game itself!In the character options, players can play as her true form, witness so that you will not be deceived: (I removed the picture that was here) If your child is so lost that they claim to "main" Marcie, do them a favor and prevent them from playing games until they bear children of their own and can be woken up to the tremendous threat posed by characters like this."


1. Elijah raised the son of the Zarephath widow from the dead (1 Kings 17:17-22).
2. Elisha raised the son of the Shunammite woman from the dead (2 Kings 4:32-35).
3. A man was raised from the dead when his body touched Elisha’s bones (2 Kings 13:20, 21).
4. Many saints rose from the dead at the resurrection of Jesus (Matt. 27:50-53).
5. Jesus rose from the dead (Matt. 28:5-8; Mark 16:6; Luke 24:5, 6).
6. Jesus raised the son of the widow of Nain from the dead (Luke 7:11-15).
7. Jesus raised the daughter of Jairus from the dead (Luke 8:41, 42, 49-55).
8. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1-44).
9. Peter raised Dorcas from the dead (Acts 9:36-41).
10. Eutychus was raised from the dead by Paul (Acts 20:9, 10).

So you mean to tell me that these people in the bible are also, how did the OP put it, "two-facedliarwho would make Hillary Clinton blush!". I could go on and on pointing on more aspects as to why the OP has no ground to stand on when speaking of topics with the bible but I will leave it with those two examples.

Your idea of a hippie communist Jesus is flawled. He and God have killed more people than Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot and Angela Merkel put together. Do you remember the flood? Erasing all the forms of life on Earth, but those in the Ark?


And the slaying of the neighboring countries by the Kingdom of Israel? And the next coming of Jesus, when He will kill 99,9% of the population?


Our True Hero, Jesus, is not what you think He is. He is powerful and He will kill all His enemies. Don't be one.

We do not need any proof other than the Bible. Atheists need "scientific proof" and they fail to produce it.

Dear Winky,

Please be careful. There is a special case that is not open to criticism. Well, it is, but the results are so disastrous that you don't want to go there.

Matthew 12:31
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Well, I may be of assistance of that. And if I can't be, well then, if you can provide scientific evidence of god existing, then i will convert immediately.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

How in the world does Overwatch insult christianity? Its full of characters from different backgrounds and faiths. Neither is it anti religion. It in fact promotes eqaulity and everyone is equal in Gods eyes so why are they not in yours?

Our True Hero, Jesus, is not what you think He is. He is powerful and He will kill all His enemies. Don't be one.

What about Mathew 26:52 But Jesus said to him "Put your sword in its place, for who take the sword will perish by the sword".

Now I could quote this one verse and leave it at that, as you have done but first lets take a moment to read a bit farther in context. Mathew 10:34-36 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household'"
This sounds to me as Jesus not meaning he is against peace but rather that he is spliting the world from the believers and the nonbelievers.

Mathew 26:52-54 "And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?"" In this he speaks of a physical sword.

Here is the fallacy in asserting that Jesus was not a man of peace, Jesus spoke many times in a figurative tongue and in doing so there are misreprisentaions of a single verse being used to encompass the entire message that Jesus spoke.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

How in the world does Overwatch insult christianity?...

Did you even read the OP? Mr. Oppendorfaceorwhatever expands on his initial thoughts in the second post of this thread. Then others chip in with more (this stuff tends to happen on forum threads). Please familiarize yourself with everyone else's contibutions, so that we don't have to keep repeating the same points over and over for every little special funking snowflake that thinks "ohnooes someone doesn't like my favourite game evAR so" and barges in here with a completely dismissive attitude like you're showing.

...It in fact promotes eqaulity and everyone is equal in Gods eyes so why are they not in yours?

Have you ever even seen a Bible? Anyone making that ridiculous claim has obviously never read the thing.
