Rule of the Jungle

Acts 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, thatcall not thou common. 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
Romans 1
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
When you hunt the beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air is for food. Not for fun and bragging rights. The animals have roles in the eco-system and especially the King of the Jungle. Are you happy now that you kill a lion for fun? There are a lot of people starving and you spend your time and money killing a helpless lion. Helpless because you have a gun. Its because of the lust for evil in your heart. How about you kill a lion in "hand-to-hand" combat? Now that is true bravery and courage. You will be justified in self-defense.


Romans 1
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 
You can play video games instead which is incorruptible if you want to have fun or you can go target shooting at the range or arcades rather than killing the corruptible animals and people for fun and bragging rights.



This is no different from novelists and novels because they illustrate the good and evil. Like in the Bible talks of good people and bad people. To teach people you have to know things from both sides of the spectrum. The sinning is the murderous thoughts because you are angry to a particular person. And having adulterous thoughts when lusting to a particular person.

Same goes for other forms of media and entertainment like in films, television, radio, the internet and so on.

Of course the Least Commandments says imagining of lust with adulterous intent and imaginings of killing with murderous intent are minor sins. However as we said playing video games for fun is not a sin. Just play moderately as instructed cause the playstation and xbox and nintendo also overheats.

However watching porn is absolutely prohibited because its putting Jesus in shame once again that affects you negatively cause it leaves you angry and frustrated.
