I'm wondering if its a sin to play games where you Defeat Evil but not do evil would these games be a sin to play?
No more than reading the old testament. The sin with games is the addictive nature of them, need to watch out for idolatry or covetousness, putting the game before taking care of yourself .. stuff like that.I'm wondering if its a sin to play games where you Defeat Evil but not do evil would these games be a sin to play?
So if i don't put them before taking care of my self i should be fine to play em?No more than reading the old testament. The sin with games is the addictive nature of them, need to watch out for idolatry or covetousness, putting the game before taking care of yourself .. stuff like that.
What do you mean by "games should be fought against ourselves" ?Life is about defeating sin within ourselves so perhaps the games should be fought against ourselves. But everything in life used to be based on the principle of good vs evil, even if there was never a clear definition of which was which. These days it's pretty well a case of anything goes.
Like I said, life is about defeating sin/evil within ourselves. There are all different ways of looking at characters in the game. We can be the good guys and they can be the bad. (But they might see us as bad and them as good. - like in real life) On the other hand they could be symbolic of the evil we want to destroy in ourselves. Like music it is whatever you want it to be. It is just a game after all.What do you mean by "games should be fought against ourselves" ?
so basically it would be alright to play these kind of games?Like I said, life is about defeating sin/evil within ourselves. There are all different ways of looking at characters in the game.

Games are crafty, as much entertainment is, they love to present you with circumstances that seem plausible and just, at least from where you are seeing it from, which is the, or their perspective they want you to see, ect, but also presents you with situations and circumstances that are (or were in the past) (or might be in the future) situations and circumstances where it is either kill or be killed, or where is is questionable to kill, ect, military games, ect...In my opinion if you go around killing evil in games you yourself are evil. It's not loving neighbour/enemy as self. But I guess there are no real games from that angle, except maybe skill testing games.
i have another question would this game be a sin to play? its a RPG gameIn my opinion if you go around killing evil in games you yourself are evil. It's not loving neighbour/enemy as self. But I guess there are no real games from that angle, except maybe skill testing games.

I deliver newspapers with my parents and i play video games to have some fun / to just relax a bit after newspapers and have some fun and yes i have been taking advice but i want to know which games would be alright to play and not.Some already gave you a good advice on this one in the previous threads you started concerning your worries on games.
Are you reading our advice at all??
If you're very worried about playing video games (by making 10 threads about it). I think you know the obvious answer. If it's bothering your spirit too much, then don't play any video games at all. It might bring you peace if you stop completely.
Well, what comes to me now is, what does God want to do with you symbiotically, you know ... living inside you?So if i don't put them before taking care of my self i should be fine to play em?
In general, if you feel guilty doing it, it's a sin even if there's nothing wrong with it. You might want to examine why there is guilt or similar feelings.I'm wondering if its a sin to play games where you Defeat Evil but not do evil would these games be a sin to play?
