I posted a similar thread a while ago. I asked if there were video games in heaven and if there where would we even care if there was. Could you see Jesus and I chilling on a couch eating Doritos and drinking mountain dew while playing mario kart? Or does that sound like something he wouldn't do. My question is if you could see anything in heaven what would you want it to be? Oh and if you want to give me "video games are evil" do it on another thread, this is just for fun.
did you ever think reality as we know it may be a video game and the Father is the user?

How can you help (anyone) if you isolate yourself?
How can you know how to help if you don't know what peoples lives are about?

I remember being given an assignment in programming, to make a game similar to "angry birds"
... I'd never played it (I tend to avoid the popular stuff :p ), so I had to find out what it was about to do the assignment.
- You have to know what the world is about to be part of it. Not saying you have to go crazy and spend all your day playing video games or getting drunk ... but you have to be enough out there, in the world, to know the people who do,

... and, to be honest, I think God wants you to enjoy life.
you could come to me never said i isolate you just assume

i work 80 hour work weeks
my number and address are known

ill share anythin i have

Well, no one is forcing you to stay in the thread if it bothers you :)

We aren't saying you have to enjoy video games, we are saying you should enjoy life,
you are making it sound like enjoying anything is a sin.

What i mean is if God is creating a new Heaven and earth. What is the new Heaven for?
Maybe it will act as the throne room :) Nobody knows what our new lives
will be like. Hard to say what God will do with all the new space. :D

Though His place of residence is to be our hearts and minds...

Lol so you made threads to ask a question that you already know the answer to,talk about bored and alot of "Time" you are wasting for yourself and others and since you don't wish for a serious answer to your question I won't bother answering it, if you want your mind in delusion that's your choice(I just pray you get your mind back to reality before Jesus comes as a thief in the night and you miss him because you are too focused on wants not needs,just saying it doesn't hurt to study on when Jesus is coming back,that is if you ever actually do want to meet him and get to know him,once again your choice)

only read up to where you said love my neighbor... read my last line
I really do listen. You said you work 10-12 hours a day every day. Doesn't leave much time to help others, after the sleep, eat, and clean part.

Oh video games are so evil and pokemon is of the devil ;b
It's interesting question, most might say no there wouldn't and even if there was you wouldn't care. Me personally I love serenity beauty and nature so my kind of heaven would likely involve that but for some like you who imagine playing video games chilling with Jesus I think if that is something your heart desires then it will happen.

None of us can really say what won't be in heaven I mean have we been and there? and have we seen what will and won't be there? I think if playing video games Jesus seems like something you want to do with him I say look forward to it

Hahaha, for me this is sort of more of a funny and cleaver question. I think we'll more be focused on praising God than videogames, but that would be pretty fun to have the available. XDD Obviously it would be like I think farming games and cute things, not Tekken or anything like that. No mortal combat hahahaha

and he didnt provide violent games like elder scrolls
And that's why I went for the invisibility cloak (or was it a sword? Been so long, I forgot) first. Don't have to fight anyone if they can't see you. lol

To me, the game was all about collecting stuff. By the time I was done, the walls to my home had candles and lanterns all along the top. I could tell you which dishes I like the best. Goblets were cool. I had a collection of weapons in the corner. Kind of bummed I couldn't put the flowers in a goblet. Enough life potion to keep me going, and sold the rest. The lady didn't treat me nice after I got rid of the rats in her pantry, but that's okay. Rat meat was good for some potion. I also liked levitating.

Just because a game is about fighting people doesn't mean it has to be about fighting people. I liked the elders in that one corner of the island. A bit snippy, but they'd taught the meaning of life... at least on that island. My best memories of the game were the wheat fields in the northeast and the flowers around the ruins in the west. And Creeper? Who doesn't like Creeper? He'd buy anything.

I live in the woods and have 10 cabins (9100) square feet of cabins....and 9 cats....they all love me and will lay their heads on your shoulder for a good petting AHHAH
Did you ever try sneaking up on them by running your hand under the blanket? That's how I got attacked the most often, but he had so much fun thinking he was protecting me, I'd let him do it.

What i mean is if God is creating a new Heaven and earth. What is the new Heaven for?
He says He makes new all things, including heavens, I don't know much beyond that.

When I settle in my home that Jesus has prepared for me, you're all invited to enjoy a cool heavenly tea with me in the midst of the beautiful garden. I'll be the one kicked back in the recliner, enjoying the shade of the beautiful oak tree, the delightfully cool breeze blowing through the garden, and the chats with all the saints and my savior. Video games? I don't indulge, so I'll leave that to all of you who enjoy that activity. I do wonder what a game that God would write would look like.

Jesus said he would prepare mansions for all of us. I don't get that one at all, unless God will be sitting in my living room all the time. Because first thing I'll want to do and never stop doing is to look at him and glorify him forever. Better than watching and smelling a moonflower unfold while eating chocolate covered raspberries until I get tired of it. (Haven't gotten tired of it yet. lol)

How could that be when reality as we know it has video games? Don't go crazy with theories now, stick with what the bible teaches and there's no mention of what you're saying in the bible.
