Nope, not delusional.

Feeding a troll, yep I guess that I am.

If you think anyone from the bible cares about you, yes actually.

Failing to accept the truth and having a grandiose, puffed-up vision of yourself is trolling in fact. Trolling yourself.

You have not provided any truth at all, so why should I accept what you say as truth?

Me, have a grandiose, puffed up vision of myself? Now that indeed is a laugh.

If you think Moses, or some other bible character, actually even acknowledges your existence, then yeah.

That would be like some nobody thinking that President Obama actually knows him! What conceit!

I have only quoted the Word of GOD to you. If that is not enough, then nothing will persuade you to accept the truth.

Where in the Word does it say that Moses, David, or any of the major Biblical characters don't care for or even acknowledge my or any other person's existence?

LOLOL

Where does it say they DO???

You're erring on the side of delusion for no apparent reason than some inflated sense of self-importance. See my President Obama example for more details.

The very fact of who they are is what tells me that they do.

I have no delusions or a self inflated sense of importance. These are words that people use when they have nothing to refute your words with. You have nothing to refute my words with, so you resort to attacking my character with out any real facts to prove that you are correct.

This is so far off topic I can't think of anything else to say.

What does this have to do with playing your sinful video games? :confused:

Look, if you have been convicted of playing video games, maybe it's because you were indeed playing sinful video games or elevating the video games that you played to a sinful level.

Not everyone will be convicted to not play video games.

Sin is sin.

If something glorifies SATAN, witchcraft, Harry Potter or demonic, then it is sinful. simple as that.

Have a nice day and God bless you Ash Crimson.

Nope.

You asked about drinking wine before you edited your post.

Jesus drank wine, so it is good.

Yes, I did, but after further reflection I decided that arguing with you is not worth it. So I edited my post.

I'm done trying. So again have a nice day and God bless you.

If there existed video consoles and video games 2000 years ago, would Jesus sit around and play video games? Of course not.1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

Correct.

Since Jesus never used a computer or car, is that also a sin?

For the sake of debate, how do you know? It would give Him a chance to preach the Word and relate to us human beings even more. I would find it easier to relate and open up to someone who wants to preach the Word of God if there was some common ground.

I personally think He would, after all, He was human when He lived on Earth. I don't think He would play games like GTA, but I can see Him a fan of RPG's and more light-hearted games, as well as adventure games.

So, am I sinning because I'm an avid video gamer?

Basically you're not allowed to do anything as a Christian. Just supposed to sit around and memorize the bible all day in your spare time. The rest of the time, it's eat, sleep, work, church, pray, witness and more bible study.

All in all, bible reading ought to take up at least 45 hours per week apparently.
