Why do you hate baby Jesus? What did He ever do to you?

Amen, dear Brother Cranky. Amen! Our new friend is ignoring the truths that have been presented to her, so clearly: truths that are based on the glorious teachings that are found within the blessed . It is so sad, to think of all that the has done for Miss Play, to offer her a home in Heaven (mortgage-free!), for all of eternity; and, yet, she would rather fritter away her time, playing some silly game that will assure her of nothing other than a one-way ticket to the fires of eternal .

Well, if this is what she wants, then I suppose she shall get her wish. What I do not understand, though, is why these young people refuse to answer the door, when the is knocking; and, instead, think nothing of their most definite fate of being set on fire -- forever!

Praising your homersexualiticness is nothing to be proud of son.

At some point the rot on your knees from kneeling in a urine and feces encrusted bathroom at some random leather bar, having serviced the entire lot of leather clad queersexuals, you might be wondering if the sores on your lips will ever heal and hoping your throat is able to shrink back to normal, now being wide enough to swallow a kielbasa whole.
Sure the glitter of it all is enticing, that is how Satan works.

I totally agree with you, but what i have heard of is totally opposite of what you are saying. I have seen Minecraft as a great way to teach kids about religious stuff. And parents are already doing it.


Minecraft has created ***Pornographic material removed by moderator*** especially to accommodate teachers. And I already am a part of a christian community where we are taking advantage of this. We are making new tools (***Pornographic material removed by moderator***) and lesson to teach kids.

We are teaching kids about:

Teaching about the church: When teaching our children about the church, we often talk about what the special objects and places in churches are and how we use them. We show them the baptismal font, the altar, the sanctuary, the choir, etc. Why not show them these parts of a church and then have them build their own Minecraft church building, alone or in teams? Where would they put the pulpit? The altar? The font? Depending on the kids, they could discuss stylistic decisions. Why choose clear glass or stained glass? (Both are options in Minecraft.) Why choose a small font or an immersion font? (You could use anything from a bowl to a fountain inside the church.) What significance would the choices they make have on worship? Kids can consider these questions as they work.


Teaching with structures: Want to teach kids what Noah’s ark looked like? The tabernacle the children of Israel used in the desert? Solomon’s temple? What about structures related to church history? Early churches? The cells where the desert fathers and mothers lived? Talk about what these structures looked like and why, and then have kids build their own versions in Minecraft.




Have kids tell Bible stories on Minecraft: Basic Minecraft creative mode allows players to write on signs or in books that can be opened and read. A Minecraft beginner might set up armor stands as people and create a series of tableaus telling a Bible story. In one image, Joseph, bedecked in fancy armor, could be annoying his brothers near a sign explaining what is happening. In another, the brothers could be standing over Joseph in a pit. Etc. More experienced players can dye leather armor to make it look more like clothing. They can even use command blocks to make characters move and enact the stories.

It's a lovely idea dear, but totally unrealistic. After years of making macaroni churches and nativities in Sunday School and homeschool projects, children have satisfied their curiosity about how big a baptismal tub might be or where to place it in the church. Instead what happens is children make altars to false gods and Marvel Heroes and then mindcraft characters to simulate gay-sex upon these altars. We parents see this again and again and again. Really, no good can come from mindcraft, a game by Satan for Satan's minions.

Does it have a function?
Can it do things?
Does it achieve results?
Thanks.

An altar typically serves as a sacred space or a focal point for rituals, ceremonies, or religious practices. While it does not have inherent abilities to do things or achieve results on its own, it holds symbolic and spiritual significance for individuals or communities. Clicking on the introduction page will provide you with a detailed explanation of the altar's purpose and its role in various cultural or religious contexts.

Speaking of our friendly Introduction Page, dear Miss Smith, I'm wondering if I could trouble you to go there — at your very earliest convenience — to post a nice introductory message for us. This is something that we ask of all of our newcomers, so that we can welcome you properly to .

The link to the Introduction Forum is here:

https://www.landoverbaptist.net/forumdisplay.php?f=16

At the top of the page, you will see some simple requests. I shall also post these here, for your benefit:

The introduction forum Attention Unsaved Trash: This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

We look forward to getting to know you, Dear.

An "altar" is a concrete thing and everything in the Minecraft is necessarily virtual. Why anyone would want to pretend to be mining (beryllium, say, or copper) on a graphics screen is beyond me but perhaps you could place Joseph at the bottom of a mineshaft and pretend he was in a pit. I think it would be better to portray him as Prime Minister of Egypt though since he was only in the pit for a very short time.

Then there was this:

..which seems rather meaningless unless we know what she means by sacred, rituals, ceremonies, religious, symbolic and spiritual. There are places where rituals are done on altars—covens for example—and since Christianity is not a "religion" (unlike catholicism or the Zen) exactly what takes place in the "sacred space" is best left to the imagination. Or not imagined at all.

NOT JOSEPH	This isn't Joseph either

Clearly nothing available in this dreadful game can augment The Bible where actual accounts of Joseph are available. Why not just read them there? Then you'd know there are no leather joy-boys or crazy knights involved but good management of a major economy and the delivering Hand of God. It's something Egypt could do with today.
