Trouble is that the things that we may like, or sometimes can become addicted to, are often things that are not at all good for us.

You can't kill anything in a video game. A video game is computer programming. In the computer program, if you 'kill' a character, you advance to a future portion of code where the character is no longer present.

If you restart your game, restart the level, you begin at a point of time in the code where the character still existed. A character in a game is a picture that is bound by laws the programmers make for it. It is physically & logically (according to programming) impossible to kill in a video game.

Now, if we're talking about war, where your not defending yourself...where your actually on the offensive...that's a whole new thread...I personally wouldn't tread those waters.

oh, and no its not a sin 

::amen!::and  for that

When I you play those games I cant help but think of those who actually are fighting so we don't have to

And I also realise that I would have died quite a few times over

This is how I tell if something is a good influence or a bad influence in my life...if I feel unrest while I am listening, watching or doing something, then it is either sin or something close to it.  If something makes you question whether it is right, then it probably isn't right.  If something makes you uneasy then why are you doing it?  You probably shouldn't be doing it.  I myself have had some uneasiness about playing Tetris.  I know this might sound silly.  I have felt in my spirit while playing Tetris, that it is keeping me away from God, like I could be praying or reading the bible instead of spending time playing a game.  But that is just me.  So, do I think it is sin? Only if it becomes an idol for you, and is separating you from God, or if it's something that comes before God, or if it is something that is giving you unrest in your soul. 

Video games that require killing, merely prepare a person to do so later on.

 They are an educational device by satan....which should be quite obvious.

Ephesians  6:12   For 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]. 


video games are satan's principles in actions.

God says: "Thou shalt not kill"....even in thoughts, as shown by Christ's Sermon on the Mount (Matthew , chapter 5)

Get real   its  made up       Now it would be different if I was actually thinking of killing a person and plotting it in my head    projecting evil thoughts towards them     


God is a warrior      I can hardly wait for Christians to bring out a competitive game where we get to slay demons  and  dragons       Bringing justice and judgement where needed    let the lion come forth

Well, I've thought of this too! Sometimes there is malice in our hearts even when we're in a fantasy situation- don't know...

Games, movies and music that promotes violence plants a seed in someone's heart. It gives people the impression that violence is okay. If children are brought up watching movies and playing video games that glorify violence, then what kind of message do you think that sends to them? 



Yeah, our battle is against Demonic spirits rather against flesh and blood(see Ephesians6:12). But that has to be done in the Spirit, not by natrual means. You can't fight demons through man amde weapons, only though spiritual warfare prayers and taking authority over demons.

Speaking of spiritual warfare, the united satanic front's main desire is to get people to follow after occultism and witchcraft. Ever notice that many video games have occultic stuff in it??? Satan uses these type of video gasmes, he uses the music industry, the movie industry, certain TV shows the reach the masses for the occult. The occult is the counterfeit of the gospel. Instead of people following after rightouesness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost(Romans14:17), Satan seeks to get people into his kingdom which is based on carnality and the works of the flesh. Games the promote violence is promoting the kingdom of darkness as well.
