John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

YIC

that's the thing, they aren't trying to be like god, they don't call themselves artistic, and most of them are children, they aren't on a power trip. they are simply having fun building what they think is cool looking or fun for them.

the simple fact that you believe that the good book will make a difference or not is saddening. you don't need to live your life by a book. simply doing the right thing, being nice to others without concern for race, ethnicity, or religion will make god happy, for you are respecting all of his creations. you don't need a book to tell you that.

John 6:29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

you don't need a book to believe.

Being creative is an attempt to usurp the power of God who is the ultimate creator friend. It's also saying the world as God made it isn't good enough. Doing art is a direct attack on God.

i see it as a direct tribute to his works by showing that no matter how good we are, we are trying to be better, to keep imitating the one we love most, as to get recognition for our attempt. we are made in his image, therefor we are creators.

Dear Mr. King,

Here we agree. See, discussion can lead you somewhere! I would have chosen slightly different words, of course and expressed this as 'we are sinners but strive to be freed of it'. How?

Hebrews 7:22
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

to keep imitating the one we love most, as to get recognition for our attempt.

Here we disagree. Why is vain and selfish imitation a recognition of love!? For God, the recognition of our love is obedience and fear. Not trying to usurp Him. Why?

Exodus 23:22
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

we are made in his image, therefor we are creators.

Also here we disagree. Does a photograph or an oil canvas depicting a mallard aim to fly on the sky? We can be procreators and cultivators of God's Creation, but is a game that is potentially high explosive-class spiritually dangerous really the way to do it?! No. Why?

2 Kings 19:29
And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.

The above tells us of the type of cultivation and toil our LORD commanded us to do. There's also false cultivation that results not in the upkeeping of God's Creation but in waste.

Joshua 24:13
And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

That's Gameland: cities unbuilt, land unlabored, unplanted vineyards, uneaten virtual crops.


Still, we agree on some points. Please, read the Good Book and ponder thereafter what the LORD GOD wishes you to do. Do it NOW. time is running out. Rapture approaches. It would be more fun to chill in Heaven afterwards than play idle games for now.


You're in my prayers!

Yours in Christ,

Elmer

ALL OF YOU ARE MOTHER piffleERS!!! GOD IS NOT REAL! AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MINECRAFT! HOW DUMB ARE YOU?!?!

Do you have any proof backing any of your statements, dear? I hate to tell you, but no one here is going to change their opinion, as you have not provided any backing to your arguments, only insults, which really does not help your argument. If God is real, then there is something wrong with mine raft (read the OP) and as you cannot prove He is fake (because He is real) you cannot prove there is nothing wrong with minecraft.

And as to how dumb we are, well we have chosen to lose a few satanic pleasures in this life, for infinite amazingness in Heaven you, though, have chosen a finite pleasure over infinity in heaven. I'm not the best at maths, but

Infinity-earth=still infinite benefit
Earth-infinity=still a negative infinity.

It's not too late, you know. You can always repent, and join the True Christians in heaven.

IMPORTANT CRANKY READ!!!
Okay I am a Christian so i am a respectful person, But also, I know my facts about minecraft, and the bible. So with the little bit of respect i have for you i am going to prove your idea i should say wrong. Obviously i am not the first person two show you up on this topic because first of all have you actually sat down and played the game and defeated the Ender Dragon. I am 95% positive that you have not, because the wrong things you have been posting, honestly you need to do some studying on minecraft so you dont make a fool out if yourself. Oh see there i am being nice so listen, this goes to everybody that has a problem with minecraft.
Jesus died on the cross so we can sin and not go to hell. God created the world with boundary's for us. like what was said inn a reply. Well i hate to pop your bubble because there are boundaries theres bedrock at the bottom of the world that keeps you from being killed. kinda like if we go to far down into the earth we would die of the amount of heat put onto our body.

The pictures you posted and that you commented on said that a creeper looks like a penis. im saying this with respect if your penis looks like that you need a doctor because it should not be green or have 4 legs and if your penis explodes well it would be like what penis.
The other picture of the creeper that a kid drew well first of all i looked it up and it was on the fifth page of my search results so you were just bound to find a inappropriate picture of a creeper because your a freak. and at first i couldnt find it intil i actually typed in "minecraft creeper kid drawing" and still it was a ways down the page. you have also zoomed in on it because there was alot more white in the background. Just saying.

Satan was an angel of God! i feel people forget that. i know that he tried to be god that is why he lives in hell. and since he is NOT a human he does not have human ergs for sex. so therefore we will not be sex slaves.

There is no lava survival. unless your talking about minecraft classic and your on multiplayer and all that happens is you have a certain amount of time to build a shelter for yourself to keep you from getting killed by the lava that comes down from the sky. you gets points and you pic the next map to play. its fun for people except for you. but you probably have never even played it actually it sounds like you watched the minecraft video at minecraft.net

you have no proof to your agrument just insults you have not changed anybodys opinion that actually plays minecraft and actually gave the game a chance. just play it for a while cranky just maybe you will change your mine and give everybody a apology. there you go cranky have a good rest of the day

You are a liar and Revelation 21:8 (New Testament) clearly states you will burn in Hell for that.

Nowhere in your pointless rambling do you actually quote the Bible. You are just spewing nonsense you made up yourself that has nothing to do with what is actually written in the Bible.

You did not read the Bible (at best a small part of it) you do not obey the rules of the Bible so you are not a Christian.

Enjoy Hell, you clearly deserve it!

Proof? You can't, on your first post tell us you are more of a true Christian the people who have been here for years.

Obviously i am not the first person two show you up on this topic

You may find you will not be able TO show us up on this.

Dont make a fool out if yourself.

Hun, you can't come onto this forum, and tell us we are makkng a fool of ourselves. It doesn't work that way.

i am being nice

You are trying to lead us and our kids onto the path to Hell by getting them to play this satanic game. So very nice

Jesus died on the cross so we can sin and not go to hell

Is it just me, or does everyone say that? Everyone sins Romans 3:23, but He only died for believers.
.

im saying this with respect if your penis looks like that you need a doctor because it should not be green or have 4 legs and if your penis explodes well it would be like what penis.

Oh, honey! You shouldn't be talking about the genitals of other men. That is a homer sexual thing to do. Leviticus 20:13

Satan was an angel of God!

And satan betrayed him

and since he is NOT a human he does not have human ergs for sex. so therefore we will not be sex slaves.

He doesn't necessarily do it for his pleasure, he does it for the sinners' discomfort. He loves discomfort and pain.

There is no lava survival. unless .......

There you have it. Unless means that there is. That's what you said later but I didn't want to quote the whole paragraph.

you have no proof to your agrument just insults

Did you read he original post? That had scripture, which is proof.

you have not changed anybodys opinion that actually plays minecraft and actually gave the game a chance.

We didn't go to your house and preach to you. You came into our forum and started telling us that we weren't changing anyone's mind. That wasn't the purpose of this thread, it was to alert True Christians and people trying to become True Christians of the threat this game poses.

have a good rest of the day

Well that was sweet, maybe you're not as bad as I originally thought. Why don't you hop over to the introductions forum and say hello?

No He didn't. Jesus died so that we would die to sin and live for Him.

2 Cor 5:14-15 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

In other words, He died so that we would stop sinning. True Christians™ are perfect.

Hi I am God come to set something strait. When i made the world i meant for everything to be square but sadly I was drunk as piffle and it came out round. So instead I had a man create this wonderful square world of mine through a video game. So i approve of Minecraft play have some fun. Also Jesus was black. Thank You.

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. We're right and you're wrong, according to Jesus and the Holy Word of God. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .

If you want to debate people, THIS is the place to go.

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.

The fact that you believe His skin colour would affect anything is proof.

The good news is that you can change.
