The game my heart always wanted, but my mind was unconvinced I would ever find!

Excited for this!

im working on a game, its open world an our a holy paladin tryin to rid the world of a evil cult

I wish the focus of the game mentioned in the title was to let the player be a witness to the events described in the Bible, in educational form, but to let the gamer, the sinner for who Jesus Christ died, take on the role of Jesus Christ, just does not sit right with me and is just blasphemy. I can not see it any other way. It's a mockery. From some of the videos and screenshots I have seen they make Jesus look more like a wizard who performs magic, than that they portray Him Biblically accurate as the one and only Savior, the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Remember what Jesus Christ Himself said about the signs of the end of the age: “Many will come in my name saying "I am Christ!" and will deceive many.” Now most people will probably say: "It's just a game." but when we come to repentance and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and have grasped what it truly means that He suffered and died for our sins on the cross and rose again on the third day to reconcile us to a Holy God, we become born again, born of the Spirit and we transfer Kingdoms. We now no longer walk in the patterns of this world. In our new life in Christ we are to discern what is pleasing to God in everything we do (Ephesians 5:10).

Every Christian should ask themselves: Is a game like this giving glory to God or glory to the self? Is it in line with Scripture and what God tells us through His Word, or is it playing in the agenda of the evil one? Is it honoring God, or mocking Him? Will it lead people to the Biblical Jesus Christ, the only Christ who saves, or could it become a stumbling block and lead people to a false version of Christ?

It is tempting to want to have a visual representation of Christ. Besides from what Isaiah tells us about His appearance (and Revelation giving a glimpse of what is to come), we do not know what Jesus physically looked like during His time on earth, so we will always end up seeing someones own interpertation, a graven image made by the hands of man. The way God chose to reveal Himself is through His Word and Scripture tells us that we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). The just shall life by Faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Faith comes from hearing and hearing through the Word of God (Romans 10:17). That is how God ordained it.

I used to look forward to this game BEFORE God graciously saved me. Since I got saved, the Holy Spirit been tugging at my heart to stay far away from this game. Whatever you determine, let the Holy Spirit be your guide, and be Holy in all your conduct (1 Peter 1:15).
