Left Behind: Eternal Forces Video Game
Selected Articles and Press Releases
To the Reader: This page has been established for your convenience, and to keep you up-to-date on the controversy surrounding the Left Behind: Eternal Forces video game. The articles and press releases have been arranged by date, and include information from both Christian and secular sources. Please use discernment as you read through the materials, and allow God's word, the Bible, to be your final authority.
For the record, Christian Research Service considers the Left Behind: Eternal Forces video game as dangerous to the spiritual welfare of Christians, and should be avoided. This is not a Christian game, where innocent minds are built-up in the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the truths of His word. On the contrary, this game provides the Christian with the option and ability to experiment, to cross-over, to venture into the dark side, and become a simulated enemy of the cross.
