[QUOTE="Divide, post: 77293331, member: 397388"] That is a good question and I set about finding the answer to that very question awhile back. I got my answer so would be happy to share it with you. Me and the Lord have spoken on this subject a couple times. Essentially, this is what He said. If it is a movie or videogame that does not bring glory to God then it is sin. It can not glorify sin like GTA and all those games or it is sinful to play. Documentaries are ok to watch and certain biographys. If I rememeber right He said He abhors and hates with a passion Soap Operas! Wow! I never did like those things, lol. Playing a violent video game is potentially dangerous to you because of it's residual effects. What are rsidual effects? Have you ever woke up with the song in your head that you listened to the night before? Of course, we all have done that. So what this means is whatever you put into your head and mind leaves a residue upon the mind and sticks in your short term memory. It takes awhile to wear off. You can make it go away faster by inputting new stuff into your mind. So how many hours did you play the violent video game yesterday? Today? You should give your brain a break from that stuff because if that is all you thnk about and do then it becomes who you are, and we know it's evil. The Bible talks about writing the word of God upon our hearts. It's the same thing. Read the bible and study it a lot instead of video games and feed your mind something different and positive. Immerse yourself in the word. Then it will fill your heart and when it runs over the old video game urges flow out too. The evil stuff. How many hours last week were you playing video games? Let's guess 30 hours... If you spent 30 hours a week reading scripture, Wisdom and Understanding would be poured upon you! It just works like that. Don't stick to video games for too long! [/QUOTE]
