For those who are gamers, how do you handle Christian Ethics vs gaming?

Ok but this doesn’t negate the fact that God has ordained both royalty and clergy. This is clearly stated in the Bible and I shouldn’t need to back it up.

I don't see how royalty and clergy relate to the topic, but I would like to know what royalty and clergy you are referring to, because there are many, and I don't know what Bible or scripture you mean, because there are many of those as well.

Revelation 1:6

To my knowledge there’s actually only one lineage that uses the cross in their heraldry, to signify descent of that line, and that would be the Rurikids with some branches. Of course, you will find many other Biblical themes in many other lineages.

As for the priestly class, that would be the Apostles and the book of Acts, and the history that followed. Albeit, we received a thousand years of made up time thanks to the Reformation, and a lot of ancient history, that never was.

This is far off topic, and I am not discussing that here.
I'll just say the cross is not Christian, and Revelation refers to priests and kings in the kingdom rule of 1,000 years.

However, that's totally off the rails of this thread. You might want to start a new thread, rather than derail this very interesting one, which a lot of persons identifying as Christian, might not like very much, since their religion never touch on Bible principles that address modern day technology and God's view of their content.

Those who rule with Christ come from tribes of Israel solely. The other ones are not resurrected until after the 1000 years.

And the verse was said by the author of Revelation and was valid in his time. But don’t trust the history books on when that was. It’s encoded in a horoscope in the book itself.

I meant buying new games, not returning to old ones. I'm struggling finding any new game to buy that isn't littered with problems.

I think of this > maybe, in any case, buy a game that "they" can not come back into, later, and change things - - if this is possible.

Aren't there offers that let you try the game before you buy it? And how about communicating with them and asking if they have "pure" games, or might consider having a pure line.

And, yes . . . what about Christian games? I would think that, by now . . . . we have Jesus people who are pretty expert in computer operations.

And . . . if they don't . . . won't some AI device come along, with which you can custom design games ? ? ? If you can photo-op, you can game-op, I would think. Maybe get some Christians going on this, before anyone in mainstream thinks of it . . . if they haven't.

And, if you can choose characters, I am sure designers can make you able to choose house decorations and be able to censor things, like how you can take out unwanted things in a photo.

That's a good point.
I watched two animated movies made in 3d, and there were really funny, and beautifully made I would say.
There are indeed talented people out there who want to give people entertainment that is proper for Christians, and I appreciate that.

I haven't come across any Christian games, but I'm sure that's because I haven't searched for any.
Doing a quick search...
Several games based on the biblical story of Noah's Ark have been developed across different platforms and formats. One notable title is Noah's Ark, a platform game originally released in 1992 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) by British studio Source Research & Development and published by Konami in Europe.
That sounds interesting.

This one, however, seems too close to the world for me, unless there are wild animals attacking the player.
Super 3D Noah's Ark, is a non-violent Christian first-person shooter developed by Wisdom Tree and released for the Super NES in 1994 and MS-DOS in 1995. It uses the Wolfenstein 3D engine but replaces combat with a slingshot that shoots food to knock out animals like goats and elephants.

Yes. With AI, it's possible to have your characters and props exactly how you want them, even without artist skills.

I decided to do a search for video games for Christians, and the first I came across is this:

Gate Zero | Video Game by Bible X

Travel back in time to explore ancient Israel, overcome opposing forces and experience the Bible firsthand.

gatezero.game

The next, is TruPlay.
I'm not sure of the content, but it shows that games are being made for those that believe in Jesus, and they have kids in mind, and learning.
