I assume you're talking about the Team Fortress 2 Character?

In short, no - a Steam profile containing flames or skulls, or anything else "evil" cannot affect your Christian standing before God. The only standard you are being held to is, 'are you trusting Christ with the eternal destiny of your soul?'

That said, “to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17). You ought not violate your conscious. It is not a sin to have a Steam background – but if YOU believe that it would be good to not have THIS background, and you do it anyway, then you will be sinning! Hope that helps!

Image matters. If you're presenting the Gospel on Steam but your profile doesn't reflect Christ, perhaps a change is in order...

Don't see why it wouldn't be ok. Not like you have "Satan Rules" on your profile (thats a King of The Kill reference btw). So no, it's not wrong imo.

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32
For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29
His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters. Revelation 1:14-15
JESUS FIRE

There are going to be a lot of questions like this that are going to exist. As long as it isn't explicit, doesn't offend anyone intentionally, doesn't make you feel uncomfortable and most importantly doesn't divide you from God, it shouldn't really matter. We should look beyond the surface to decide whether something is "right" or "wrong."

You can drink alcohol. You can listen to Melodic Death Metal, like I do. You can appreciate nude art (there's a difference between this and pornography, which can exploit this). You can study evolution. There's a lot more things you can do than you think.

However, you cannot become intoxicated by drug and or/alcohol. You cannot become aggresive, like some people would portray Metal fans. You cannot lust. PERIOD. You cannot blaspheme. "It is not what enters a man that defiles him, but what comes out of the man." - Matthew 15:11

You already are proving my point by having video games as a hobby. TF2 is a violent game but that doesn't stop me and you from enjoying it while having a clean conscience about it. It's violent and sometimes crude, but also enjoyable and sometimes funny. If you enjoy it and it doesn't impact your faith in a negative way, then why not apply the same concept outside of video games? We are given free will by God.
