Re: L.A. Noire -- pure evil? Or only part-evil?

I merely said Jesus likes to see head shots on gamertard toons until they rage quit the server or repent of their ERP depravity.

Oh. Um, OK . . .

While there is a maturity setting it's for the blood and oddly not for the sex. The sex is more implied and not explicit depicted. The main character leaves his wife for some floozy he meets in a night club.

Is the main character Newt Gingrich?!

Oh course not, don't be silly. Newt didn't shirk his Culture War duty like the protagonist in LA Noise. Newt's multiple wives are just part of the wounded warrior deal we all have to face. Those years in congress and the pundit circuit take their toil you know.

Re: L.A. Noire -- pure evil? Or only part-evil?

A member of my congregation tells me her child, whom she is weaning off video games, has asked for a game to replace all the nasty ones she took away.

He has already played the Left Behind games several times through, and wants a game called L.A. Noire.

It's set in late-1940s Los Angeles, and your character is a policeman named Phelps, a WWII veteran.

You spend your time solving crimes and bringing thugs to justice. Naturally, some thugs use colorful language. On the plus side, you do get to shoot them for their sins.

It all sounds good, aside from the vulgarity, but I'm not sure it's a good choice for a 17-year-old.

Has anyone any knowledge of this game?

Other than the fact one of the Ten Commandments specifically says Thy Shall not Kill it seems like a ok came. I might add the verse (Exodus 20:1-17 if you want to look it up) does not say Thy Shall not Kill execpt thoughs who sin., it just says thy shall not kill. For a Ture Chirstian killing in any form should disgust you. It also says Matthew 5:44
"But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," so insulting all thoughs who disagree with you is actually against what you say is all you believe in... Maybe you should look in the bible and read it sometimes.
P.S. Im a christian and am disgusted by some misunderstood bible verses you people spew everywhere to make yourselfs look educated in the works of our Lord and Savior

How can you call yourself a Christian while insisting that "Thou shalt not kill" contradicts all of the verses commanding us to kill?

Well that arguement might have worked if the ten commandments specifically given by God our creator as guidelines to live our life by... should be followed, and a lack there of would more in likely resrict your access to Heavan
Not only that but In Matthew 19: 16-19 a man ask how to obtain eternal this is the answer.

Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life ?”
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
“Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. We're right and you're wrong, according to Jesus and the Holy Word of God. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .

If you want to debate people, THIS is the place to go.

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.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.

Re: L.A. Noire -- pure evil? Or only part-evil?

Friend, 'murder' is not the same thing as 'killing'. Of course God does not want us to murder on another, that would be barbaric. But to kill those that are against Him or have committed abominations is perfectly fine and in fact, encouraged.
For example:
Deuteronomy 21:18
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

Then we have 1 Samuel 15 (I'll not post it due to the length)

The following leaves little doubt and is irrefutable:
Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Again due to a recent post directed at me I must make it clear I am for all intensive purposes trying to shed some light on to a subject asked opun by a fellow forum user on wiether this game is appropraite foe kids... I was simply saying due to the killing in it, the game is in appropriate for anyone who follows Gods word.

Second If that were true then you have two contridicting factors here... you say to follow all of the bible but yet you wish to ignore a 3 clear parts of the bible saying killing is wrong. If you are to follow your own advise follow all of the bible and never kill.

True... Im glad to find someone also versed in the bible, now the question is wiether in the game it is possible to kill inocent people or not. That would really be the deciding factor wiether this game is ever to be allowed to be played.
Pl;us the fact you'd have to explain to your youth that killing sinners is ok, but mindless killing is not. so that the game does not negativly potray the wrong message to them

THE BIBLE IS NOT CONTRADICTORY. The Bible says not to kill, then it makes exceptions for homosexuals, adulterers, people who work on the Sabbath, Amalekites, Midianites, Babylonian babies, and many others. THIS IS NOT A CONTRADICTION. You are INTERPRETING it as a contradiction when you say "Thou shalt not kill" is without exceptions.

Listen this is not a debate forum... and Thou shall not kill means in modern english "You shouldn't kill. Which if you look in a dictionary mean dont kill... making an exception for this would be otherwise altering the rule, which means killing is ok. Which is obviously wrong. It clearly say DO NOT KILL, it does not say DO NOT KILL (Except for ect.) what kind of rule has that big or a exception list and is still a rule... and very confusing one

I'm sorry you are too stupid to comprehend the difference between executing, as directed by God, and murdering.

Sorry, you are too stupid to comprehend God's Word. That means you cannot avoid sinning, and therefore will spend eternity being burned alive in God's Lake of Fire.

I'm saying we can obey the commandments to execute homers without breaking the commandment that say not to kill. You are saying this is impossible. Why would God command us to do the impossible?

Why do you hate God? Do you resent His injunctions against anal sex?

Pay attention; God was talking about His people not murdering His people. Obviously God was not commanding us to refrain from killing witches, queers, atheists or anyone else He deems fit. If you had ever read the Holy Bible, you'd know that.

Exodus 22:18
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Deuteronomy 13:6-10
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.

2 Chronicles 15:13
Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
