The Rapture game? Idiots...

From News.com.au

Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is a teen-rated PC strategy game based on the wildly popular Left Behind Christian book series created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins.

The game is set in New York City after millions of Christians have been transported to heaven.

Players are charged with recruiting, and converting, an army that will engage in physical and spiritual warfare with the antichrist and his evil followers.

Whatever. The people who believe in the rapture in the first place - where Christians are called up to heaven, leaving the earth as the AntiChrist comes to power, etc, and leaving the new converts to fight it out with the dark one - have obviously never really read 1 Corinthians 15:50-52

50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

In a flash. Doesn't leave much time in there for the rapture, especially as there is no mention of either people going up early (The Rapture) or of those new Christian converts left behind afterwards. In other words, there is no time delay between the transformation of the body and the day of judgement - it all happens at once. So the entire premise for the books, movie and game are off. So I don't really care about the game, apart from the impact it has on the truth. But at least the idiots, if they were going to make a game that would see Christians going around slaughtering pawns of the AntiChrist and the false Prophet, would get the theology right? Too much to hope for, I guess.
