[QUOTE="Lotuspetal_uk, post: 75192512, member: 6642"] Thank you for this. I'm currently having a discussion with a 17 yr old who wants to play Fire Emblem types of games which reminds me of dungeons and dragons. Then a younger one who wants to play Mario Odyssey. Fire Emblem involves magic while Mario has a ghost/Mario possessing animals, people and objects. Years ago I stopped playing Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask and it was partly down to some verses in the OT I'd read but could not locate but after reading your post I recalled it was Deut 18:9. I'd applied the verse deut 18:9 in the context of God not wanting us to imitate the practices of the nations He was about to drive out. So if I was role playing a healer with potions or putting on a mask to become whatever possessed the mask, essentially I was imitating an act that God dislikes. The older one agreed about not playing Twilight Princess due to - in her words - "how dark it felt". The 17 yr old can see what I'm getting at. The younger son doesn't. For the Christian gamers here what or how would you convey to a child about the consequences of such games? [/QUOTE]
