I've been wondering about this here lately, mainly concerning Luke 14:
"26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
Also, Psalm 101:3 "3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me"
The Bible talks about things such as denying yourself, crucifying the flesh and making NO provision for the flesh.
Would that mean that video games, TV, and all the other entertainment is really godless and that God wants us to throw out the Xbox and shoot the TV?
Been reading about this on some websites which promote that idea and say that Christians who engage in entertainment aren't really following Christ.
