Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

I know this is just a joke...but it is kind of extreme. A game is just a game, and whatever content is in it only has the power you give it. If you are one who enjoys giving power to Satan, then maybe this game would be too much for you. As far as I am concerned, it is just a game, and I give it no power over my faith or salvation.

It doesn't matter what you give power. Things can affect us if we are not wearing the entire Armor of God!

Ephesians 6
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

The question is, does God own your heart, or are you in constant fear of the devil overpowering you?

Of course not! I am a blood bought born again predestined servant of Jesus Christ and incapable of committing any of the 67 deadly sins of the New Testament.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

If that is your fear, then perhaps your faith isn't as strong as it should be.

I say, why allow such bad influences into your life? What does the Bible say about magic and wizardry? What does the Bible say about serving other gods?

I've played video games for 30 of my 35 years, and have never been influenced to do anything. I have never served another God and Oblivion didn't make me bomb a church or worship Satan. I have been saved since I was 9 years old, and have never had cause to question my faith. I agree that parents should keep adult rated games away from their children, and maybe it is a good thing to sway people away from games if they have weak faith...but a person who knows that Jesus is in their heart won't be swayed by a few polygons on their TV.

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

Also, I didn't need armor to be secure in my faith. I only need one thing. Complete and unshakeable faith that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins. It is through Him that my salvation is secured and there is nothing in this world strong enough to make me doubt my faith.

And yet you feel the need to tell strangers on the internet of this. This kind of selfish "I'm OK so forget everyone else" attitude is typical.

True Christians know that many people who think they are saved are actually living a delusion. They sin constantly but wilfully ignore the bits of the Bible that warn them.

Rather than selfishly congratulating ourselves that we are saved and everyone else will burn we tirelessly warn sinners like you to be mindful of God's word in its entirety.

Sadly many will burn despite our efforts and our only consolation as we finally come together in Heaven will be that the wails of the tormented will include those who mocked us in life.

Praise!

Which is exactly the problem. 30 years you have done nothing. 30 years you have wasted behind your screen, selfishly gratifying your urges. Those 30 years could have been spent doing good, you could have spread His Word, you could have prayed for all the sinners, you could have helped the poor and the sick by explaining them they're poor and sick due to lack of faith. All those people you could have helped have suffered because of you, because you would rather be lured into your video game by the devils and the magic that make you feel good instead of helping others. I would say you are about as bad a person as they come.

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

Thank God this site is a hoax, or I would be really upset. I haven't wasted any time over the last 30 years. Sitting at your computer screen pushing hate and intolerance as Christianity on a satirical site isn't helping to bring people to God. But I am sure you all knew that...just wish I had been in on the joke before I posted.

Whatever the number of scrolls there are, they're all evil.

That's great, but you also must be Baptized and not sin to go to heaven. You also have to be one of those that God chose from the beginning.

Shout glory!

Ephesians 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

TC, you should check out the documentary "Religulous". I found it very enlightening.

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

I can understand your hatred of the game, but there are many people who enjoy it, I for one enjoy it.

I see no real reason to despise it, and there's a very large majority of the Earth anticipating the release of the game.

Lots of people enjoy LOTS of things, but that doesn't necessarily make it OK.

For instance, these are many things that are widespread activities that are not endorsed by Scripture:

1. Anal sex. (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:27)

2. Touching a woman when she is on her "period." (Leviticus 15:19)

3. Wearing cotton-poly blends. (Leviticus 19:19)

Etc. etc.

I accept that, I have never needed to engage in any of those three activities, or, clothing as the last was.

While the idea of the first has intrigued me, simply because I want to see what it's all like, I've not done it.

So do you just not touch women at all or do you always ask them if they are in their unclean time if you feel the need?

I've never slept with a man or a woman.
