I know this thread hasn't had anything posted in about three or four weeks, but I'd like to add something to this. First of all, I don't think that there is anything inherently evil about "fantasy magic", such as someone shooting fireballs or ice out of their hands (Please Note: I am not...

Thanks alot! Now, do I wait for someone to contact me in game or do I whisper an officer or something?

Hey everyone! I bought rift a week ago after being invited to a 7-day trial by a Christian friend of mine, and I found out about this guild after searching for Christian guilds on Rift! My Christian friend plays on another server, but I can split my playtime between Sunrest and the other...

I'm premillenial and pretribulation as far as rapture is concerned, but I am open to the possibility of persecution hitting the western Church before the rapture occurs.

I don't really know much about this, I'm only 19 years old and am single(yes I have practiced abstinence all my life, plan to remain so until my death or until marriage, probably death because I like the single life better) but I'll throw in my 2 cents if I may.... I'd say that as long as the...

Also, would playing FPSes in any way depreciate my witness to those around me? Even though something may be acceptable, I want to know whether playing FPS games and such would hurt my witness.

Ok, some more questions: 1. How do you go about buying games and stuff without letting them become your treasure? The Bible says that if you store up treasures on earth that's where your heart is, so how do you avoid doing that? 2. About Psalm 101:3 where it says "I will set before my eyes...

It's kinda hard to tell what my motivations are.... TBH I really find sports and racing games boring because they don't have the action that FPS games do. But then again the battles themselves and trying to beat the game provides another layer of enjoyment. I guess you could say it's a...

Dunno. I did play a few games simply for the gore in the past(Doom, GTA, and Postal come to mind). Thankfully they quickly became boring. However I dunno about games like Halo or COD. It is satisfying when you get a machine gun going and are mowing down hordes of enemies, successfully take...

One more question: Psalm 11:5 "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." Wouldn't that rule out the shooter games we like such as Halo and Call of Duty?

Ok, again I agree up to a certain point... but there are certain things the Bible strictly forbids, such as murder, theft, being covetous, using God's name in vain, idolatry, rebelling against one's parents/authority(unless their commands contradicts a Law of God), practicing witchcraft, and...

Ok, have a few questions: 1. You know how the Bible warns against worldliness and that if you become a friend to the world you become an enemy of God(James 4:4)? How can one play video games and avoid crossing the line with the Lord? 2. I've been doing research on the internet about things...

Ok, last night me, the XA leader, and some other guys went out to eat and they talked about getting Red Dead Redemption, and the leader asked if I was going to get it, and I said "no" and that those kinds of games didn't appeal to me(RDR is basically GTA with horses set in the 1800s wild west)...

Ok, since me and my XA leader are both friends on facebook, I posted a link in my facebook status that pointed to a blog post by someone on IGN that preaches against GTA 4, linked here if I can: http://blogs.ign.com/WORDmanrick/2008/04/25/87875/#comments Would that be good enough, if I was to...

Ok, I have a question, this is more about a friend of mine who is a minister in a Christian group called Chi Alpha, which is basically a Christian youth-group type organization for college kids. Now, I looked him up on Xbox live and noticed that he was playing Grand Theft Auto 4, and I'm...

Yes if someone is breaking into your house you have the right to self defense. However you don't go looking for them and try to achieve vigilante justice. The kinsman avenger system is over. Yes today's justice system is messed up but God will set everything right on that great Judgment Day...

There are several ways: 1. Renouncing/turning your back on Christ, especially during a time of persecution. Jesus Christ says that if you deny Him before men, He will deny you before the Father on Judgment Day(Matthew 10:33). 2. Living in unrepentant, known, willful sin. Hebrews 10:26 says...

Matthew 26:24 "The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born." Jesus probably wouldn't be saying such things about someone who was going to Heaven. Presumptuous sin(when you know...

Topic. Is the idea of OSAS/Unconditional Eternal Security Biblical or can a Christian be truly converted and later lose their salvation? I'm of the latter persuasion that they can, but I want your opinions on the matter.

Another unforgivable sin will be to take the Mark of the Beast during the Tribulation Period, when the Antichrist will rule the world for 42 months and will require that everyone will take a mark in their right hand or forehead under the compulsion of both not being able to buy or sell without...
