Most video games are against God and unrealistic and should be avoided for that reason alone, but there are a few AUs and you shouldn't waste your time with them either. One exception is Microsoft Flight Sumulator, for example. But even such games should only be played to a limited extent.

Personally. I kind of find that a stretch. Just because a game refers to the Bible in some way doesn’t make it a Christian game. Theres still the whole thing with witchcraft, scantily clad women, and the beastmen,That this game has. Theres a lot of games that tell us stuff about the Bible in some way. Warhammer, xenoblade, heck just about every catholic like church in games reference it. I doubt there’s a true Christian game. If there was, I doubt it would be translated properly, or done well. Don’t get me wrong, I like this game but I certainly wouldn’t call this game bringing those passages to life.

Great video. My church acctuly did a video game themed day camp before covid, and this year, its story booked themed, including Syfi and fantasy. We even have Harry potter themed jr youth nights. You know, because we meet sinner's wear they are at. Plus, it gets kids, especially younger kids, more involved.

Like I care if it's anti-Christian or not. I care about the games themselves

Thank you for the content brother God bless you

Good vid! To me, what pokemon do always seemed more like metamorphosis than evolution.

Demonic Influence: Giratina is literally considered a demon 😅

Hey man, still lovin’ your videos! Don’t know if you really take requests… but… I used to play a mobile game called Brawl Stars… and man I loved that game. I was on global leaderboards 3 times, the art was great and it was super fun… but the storyline started getting pretty dark once they introduced the whole;e Starr Park thing. I’ve wondered if going back to it just for the game aspect would be okay, but I wanted another perspective on the game and any hidden, darker aspects in it. Just saying it’d be super cool to see you do a video on Brawl sometime! Keep it up!

Personally I think the same way like if having magic/powers along with level up features (aka evolution) then basically all fantasy, team builder or rpg games are just off the table which is kinda insane like that would also mean that basically all main stream media would be gone too like Star Wars (the force) as an example legend of Zelda (there just kinda magic skills you learn also spirits) I mean for goodness sake smash bros would be gone cuz of some of the characters in the cast and they have spirits in the story mode to give power up’s so I think that as long as it’s not addicting or changing your faith it’s fine

Have you seen the song they made with the first anti Pokémon preacher you showed? It’s called Pokémon Power, it’s amazing! lol. And I agree with the vid couldn’t add anything else to it but I noticed you played Legend of Zelda music (Hateno Village) in a vid about Pokémon lol 😂

Well I'm going to hell been Into it since I was 3

Pokemon is one of my favorite games, from RGB to USUM. played them all, also joined the competetive scene. (Though havent played the switch games, simply because of my competetive reasons, I stayed away from pokemon because they suddely become numbers for me no longer pokemon )😭😭

God is described with both male and female attributes in scripture, especially the Holy Spirit. We do describe God as father, him, he…. But is the Godhead strictly male? Sure Jesus was a man that is no doubt but is the entire Godhead? God created both male and female and in his image so yes, I’d argue that God is both male and female. I also say this because of the argument where Zelda’s deity’s are goddesses. It can be merely used as an artistic thing or that they wanted to highlight female traits. Or that the creators just wanted them to be female as it’s not a ‘Christian game’ and the creators are likely not Christian but they did use Christian elements in the game. It is evident that they did. I’ll leave it at that as I do want to be careful because in today’s culture things can get very muddy very quickly but I just thought I’d add my 2 cents 🤣 . I hope I got my main point through. ***thank you for the video, it gets people thinking.

Halleluyah!!!

I don't feel remorse for playing Fortnite, Arkham games, Valorant or Spider Man. I would feel my spirit rise from GTA, or other extremely inappropriate games. GREAT VIDEO!

When Jesus says "and lead us not into temptation" he is basically asking his chosen deity not to put his faith to the test like it was in the Book Of Job. Yes all deities have been know to put the faith of us mere mortals to the test on purpose, often for their amusement but sometimes to prove a point. Sigh! As if existence wasn't tough enough for us mere mortals. Personally I wouldn't ask a deity for anything otherwise you end up owing them big time.

The first one reminds me of volcarona. Never thought of it as being a seraph, but I can kind of see it with the wings and fire. Not too sure for the second one. My best guess would be rapidash, or maybe suicune, with their unicorn inspiration, but I'm not too sure how that relates to that biblical passage specifically. I've heard groudon compared to the behemoth, and its being unaffected by the rivers does seem to correspond to its desolate land ability making it impervious to water attacks. As for leviathan, apart from kyogre, which I'd figure is a bit of an easy guess at that point in the video, my guess for that one is lugia, which I seem to recall being compared to it and similar aquatic beasts of Semitic legend. Though the description of a big, coiled serpentine monster sounds more like rayquaza. This is the only one I didn't guess, probably because it seems quite likely gyarados's similarity to the leviathan could be coincidental, due to its being so similar to East Asian dragons, and its evolution from magikarp being a one-to-one with the legend of a carp becoming a dragon. The last one makes me think of hydreigon, being the one prominent multi-headed dragon pokémon, but it isn't red. I guess dragonite is orange, which the word translated to "red" probably covers, though it has significantly fewer heads than the dragon from Revelation. I'm surprised applin wasn't mentioned, a fruit-dwelling, serpentine creature has definite Genesis vibes. Also, I remember vulpix reminding me of that part in Judges where Samson ties foxes together by their tails and lights them on fire, though it seems much more likely vulpix is actually based on a kitsune.

I mean, funny how I never see videos titled, "should Christians play sportsball and bang lots of women?" Yet I read lots of opinions who never tacitly imply such a thing could get you hellbound. Nah, just video games. Or how about, "should Christians shop at TEMU, knowing that many of the products procured there are almost certainly exploiting labor, and child labor at that (millStOnEs, milLStOnES!!!). No, I never see that question raised for some reason. Just video games. Ridiculous question, IMO. It's a shame you even have to address it. Just pharisees scaring you about inconsequentiial things as they fly off to Epstein island. If anyone is worried about video games, they need to get some perspective, and a grip. You should be concerned about the entire computer industry, TBH.

Ah yes I definitely remember having blue hair and red eyes in the bible and I definitely remember the priestess praying like any other fantasy priest or any religious person with two big personalities in the bible

Awesome content buddy. Love the superub editing. I have to say that you got the gift of just have that narrators voice. Keep this up. Just a great way of showing how’s our creator and lord Jesus Christ is intertwined with more things than we know. 👍

This is a really unique concept for a KZbin channel. I look forward to seeing where it goes. Keep up the good work and God bless.

That was a neat video man as a Christian I honestly wish we had more content creators like you in the gaming community.

Hey man, awesome video. It’s nice to see people talking about video games and Christianity together. I noticed Scarlet’s prayer my first time playing this game, I was surprised! Idk how far you’ve gotten but I hope you enjoy Unicorn Overlord and continue to make content such as this. God bless!

Very cool video! As a Christian and gamer as well, I encourage you to keep up the great work.

Another video game that makes references from the Bible is Chrono Trigger. Mostly how Chrono’s story goes like how he feeds 1,000 soldiers in one scene with jerky which is a subtle reference to Jesus feeding 1,000 people with bread and fish, how Chrono is betrayed by a friend almost like how Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, and also Chrono being judged. Also Lavos the villain of the game is depicted as a monster with many horns almost as a reference to the beast with ten horns in the Book of Revelations. I find it interesting whenever video games make subtle references to the Bible as I am a Catholic Christian but also a gamer.

In regards to Giratina: PLA refers to Giratina by the name "kami-no-ko", which is the Japanese translation for "child of god", which is the epithet of Jesus Christ. However, there's another phrase in the bible that "son of god" can be found, which is in Genesis. Genesis 6:4 "The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown" There's debate as to whether the Nephilim were these sons of god or if the nephilim were the children of the daughter of men. It should be noted that this story likely dates to before the Israelites became the Jewish people, when were still monolatrous traditions (i.e. acknowledging gods that Judaism now considers false, but only worshiping their own single one). That means that the nephilim in the story may have been meant to be demigods of other religions, hence why I don't capitalize the word 'god'. Regardless, PLA splits the difference by having Giratina be both a bunshin of Arceus (meaning 'off-shoot' or 'avatar') and thus a son of god literally, as well as inspiring Alphas (who become giant size, i.e. nephilim as depicted in the bible). Another translation of kami-no-ko would be 'little god'. There's a character in Judaic mythology called Metatron; an angel referred to by some as 'little YHWH'. Enoch ascended through God's realm and was transformed into the most powerful of angels, to the point of being YHWH's right-hand man, so to speak. That's what his name means; Meta-Tron means 'besides the throne'. Many Judaic theologists weren't comfortable with this idea of a second YHWH and also weren't comfortable with a figure like Jesus, so a polemic formed. Three Judaic mystics attempted a perilous, spiritual journey to the throne of YHWH. Only one survived the journey and, when he arrived, he witnessed Metatron sitting upon the throne of YHWH (which was essentially his job) and so the Judaic mystic declared that YHWH must therefore be two deities. Causing this heresy caused Metatron to be cast down and punished. There's similar stories about descending or falling entities around the world, most often associated with the planet Venus. Jesus is among them, in fact. Most popular today of these myths, however, is that of Lucifer Morningstar, who falls, rather than descends like Jesus. Giratina, similarly, is a fallen entity, but slightly differently. In Japanese culture, there was the idea that children still had a foot in the before-realm and so, if they died, they'd seamlessly slip into a new body created for them to try again. This created the idea of 'sending children back' if they weren't healthy or sustainable. In the story of Izanami and Izanagi, their first child (Hiruko 'the leech-child') is misshapen and so has to be ritually returned to the water of creation. This idea of killing newborns was highly criticized by Buddhists, who eventually created the narrative that, in truth, these enraged newborns would haunt a hell created for the parents who killed them. There's more interesting connections, though. Japanese writers love esotericism from the west. In Judaism, there is a theory of the origin of evil (among many) which says that God is so powerful that even thinking causes worlds to be formed. These are called 'thought-worlds' (which are highly relevant to franchises like Kingdom Hearts). Reflexively, in order to create good, the Qlippot were made reflexively in these thought-worlds and they inspire evil in us, kind of like how Giratina inspires Alphas to become aggressive. Izanami and Izanagi are highly referenced in the story of Sinnoh/Hisui as equated to Dialga and Palkia. If we take the origin of the Qlippot as inspiration, where God creates some things as a kind of reflex, we can think of Giratina coming out 'unfinished' when Dialga and Palkia are originally created. With the help of the Ancient Hero or perhaps from the very beginning, Arceus sees potential in Giratina and decides that they need to finish their 'gestation' in the Distortion World. Another idea in Judaism is that the Messiah will descend into hell and drag the evil there back into God's light, thereby completing the redemption of all life. This, in a way, is what happens with Giratina, who spends unknowable eons in the Distortion World, but is dragged into Sinnoh by Volo, where it learns to value the life it was once too volatile to co-exist with and it becomes a protector, as Arceus saw it the potential as having. Through the actions of the player, Giratina, a representative of the Qlippot, is dragged back into the light through a kind of spiritual warfare, redeeming the origin of creation as Arceus intended.

play Xenogears and/or Xenoblade Chronicles

Something that is glossed over is the part about forgiveness. So I wonder if forgiveness is going to be a major theme of the game?

Had zero expectations besides Metroid 4, and was so happy as an RPG and Metroid fan. Switch is going down as my favorite console

As a huge Ogre Battle fan this was my most hyped game this year. I got the collectors edition on switch. It was game of the year in my opinion, no matter what some awards show says. I actually think they improved a lot of aspects over Ogre Battle

Groudon being based on Behemoth is a popular interpretation. Just for the sake of balance-the weather trio are based on Ryukyuan mythology from the lands that Hoenn is based on, with a more clear inspiration found there. Isn't it fascinating, though, how many cultures divide the world in earth, sea and sky?

Pokemon 2 sounds like it describes a kaiju like creature, so my thought goes towards the Nidoran lines!

From a non-believer, I want to say that I very much enjoyed your video! I hope that you'll make more videos in the future. Abrahamic history is of great interest to me and I watch channels like Esoterica and ReligionForBreakfast. It's really nice to know there's a channel out there that's sincerely attempting to reflect on Christian values. Have a great one!

I loved how much good details were on this game of christianity. Not only it served as a great way to inmerse into the narrative but also made me felt so happy. Highly recommend this game

My fiance and i LOVE playing this game together. Just like you 2, she's a non gamer but once we figured things out the game got SUPER fun for both of us. She even mentioned it to our couples group a few times. It's a definite blessing when your spouse and you can have something fun to bond over.

As a Christian gamer myself, you just gained a new sub. I love seeing games reference the Bible and i wish there was more of it. I remember the Original Castlevania: Symphony of The Night had Dracula quoting Matthew 16:26 word for word, which back in the 90's when i first played it as a child, having no idea it was a Bible verse, the quote stuck with me. Unfortunately, the updated remake on PS4 removed that verse, but i do believe there's a market for Christian Beliefs and principles to be taught via the medium of gaming. Anyways, long rant aside, keep up the good work my brother in Christ!

Hey brother, I love how you try to show your faith and the gospel in the gaming scene. As a believer in Jesus Christ myself it's a treat everytime i get to see the principals of the bible rightly conveyed in media. I liked the Manga Vinland Saga for the change of heart inspired by christian values very much.

It's copied. Listening to the opening, anyone can tell. So, what is your point of the whole video?

Great content! I recommend playing Persona 3 Reload because the ending is similar to a core principle of Jesus Christ or the Gospel.

If you want to see a game that utilizes the bible, I recommend the visual novel 'Umineko', it contains LOTS of direct reference to the bible (directing referencing King Solomon, the book of Psalms, Genesis, etc.) and even though it also references a lot of black magic, it does also directly spread the gospel of love that Jesus told. To directly quote the game, "Without love, the truth cannot be seen." If you're interested look up 'Umineko Project' and specifically the steam guide of how to install it (it's free!)

This is amazing that you're doing this. As a christian and gamer, I notice parallels in media all the time but there aren't many outlets to share it. Keep it up!

I am literally playing Unicorn Overlord for the past two weeks and this gae never missed! It is so well made and runs good on the switch too! Not mentioning the gameplay! So far this is my game of the year (i know its a long shot but this game has to be recognized somehow, atlast at the JRPG category)
