Would this be sinful?

[Jabre7]

i was going to make a fantasy/scifi roleplay with Christian themes. I was going to have it almost be an actual RPG people could play, with the major villians being bosses. a recurring one was going to be Xenu from Scientology. Yes, many of the villians were going to be mythical gods and demons and whatnot. I was going to use these figures, especially Xenu, to expose what these cults/ faiths truly beleive and where they came from. I even have the final villian/boss and penultimate enemy planned, turn away now if you don't want them spoiled:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tthe final villian and "boss" was going to be Sophia, the supreme and original godess of Gnosticism. Unlike the others, this one is supposed to actully be the deity, or at least the actual demon behind her, where all the other "gods" are in fact avatars people take based off said deity/demon. The penultimate one would be GAOTU, the Masonic God, who would then transform into his "true form", Baphomet. Would this all be sinful?

Sounds like an interesting way to witness and do apologetics!

As a fan of role playing, RPGs and the like, this definitely has my attention. Like just about everything, you certainly could do it in a sinful way. But I think there is also potential for good, as you have said. If you can write it well, in a way that glorifies God and brings to light to falseness, emptiness, and sinfulness of other religions/false gods etc. then it could be an interesting tool to get people thinking about deeper matters.

Would it be sinful? It depends on your motives.

If it's a genuine desire to bring Christianity into the gaming world, then it isn't sinful (although you would need a good grasp of Christian truth and doctrine to do it well)

But at the other extreme, if it's really an excuse to indulge a gaming addiction, then it probably would be sinful.

Only you - and God - know what's in your heart.

It might be worth considering what Paul has to say about eating food sacrificed to idols. He basically says they're just idols, not gods or anything with any power, so on paper eating that food isn't a sin. The real danger of it that he pointed out is the potential for causing other Christians to stumble.

How would an action game defeat ideas?

example, your team of rpg meet xenu, and are challenged to define the difference between there belief and scientologys belief. How do people with no knowledge of Christianity or scientology win such a contest?

 

Another senario, there is a knock at the door, the rpg player answers to find two humans, they ask aquestion. enter random JW doorstep opener. How does the rpg player respond, violence looses the game?

 

I think you need to think very carefully how you form your game.

so Christ wins every time

Depends how winning is shown in the game.

The devil thought he had won when Pharaoh order the death of new born baby boys, when the israelite lost at AI, when Saul died, David sinned etc etc leading to Jesus's death.

 

It depends how the game goes on and what winning the game actually means.

I don't think you would be glorifying God by doing this. Whatever we say or do we should always do it to glorify God.
