Just a question

A question (from your EU brethren who's been lurking)...

How do you justify being a Christian, Christ-like and saved, and yet play such a violent and dark game? This is *not* an assault on you or anything, I'm just curious because i've been finding it quite puzzling and difficult.

Thanks :o
 
Romans 14, that's how. :)

Different Christians feel differently about different issues, and the Bible makes it clear that God allows a certain amount of 'room' for those differing beliefs. Now, clearly, there are black and white issues that scripture speaks very clearly about. On those issues, we don't have 'wiggle room'. On issues where the Bible is silent, though, we need to avoid taking our personal beliefs and convictions and enforcing them on other believers.

That same passage, though, makes it clear that we who feel that God's grace allows us more freedom are responsible for not allowing that grace to cause others to stumble. Therefore, we have created this community to be a place where Christians who enjoy and feel comfortable playing various video games can come and enjoy their hobby with like minded believers. I think that most of us have probably played in communities of non-believers, and had a wide variety of different experiences with those communities. I have played in 'secular' guilds that have been full of great people whom I really enjoyed, and I have played with a bunch of immature, foul-mouthed brats, whom I didn't enjoy. Personally, I have as much fun with the people in Redeemed as I do with the games we play. That, in my opinion, very much qualifies as Christian fellowship.

For those who don't feel comfortable with the darker atmosphere of WAR, I'd encourage them to find another game to play with the ToJ community. There are lots to pick from. :D
 
Winner.

Thanks, that really reassures me! Nothing like Romans to do that (I really should have known, I studied romans quite closely last year)...

Ah well. I'm a swordmaster, and enjoying being able to talk about God to people - tho they seem surprised that I play WaR and follow christ, this will help.

:cool: Cheers mate.
 
Glad to be able to walk through this together. :)

I'll assume that you're on a EU server? If not, come join us on Red Eye Mountain! If so, there was another European player looking for other believers to play with recently. His post is probably still on the front page, top of page 2 at the worst. It'd would be very cool if you two could hook up and see what God's got in store for the EU WAR community!

I look forward to seeing more of you around here, either way. :)

EDIT: D'oh! That was you! I got you confused with Veldrik looking for an Oceanic Christian community in WAR. Ah well. God's still really big and could have very cool things in store!
