the sin of immoral-images
- self exaltation through lawlessness, or, pretending to be no longer obligated to obey God, but to have an illusion where you make your own rule in an image-universe.
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psalm 2:1-5 - self-exaltation through having “servants” to yourself, even through the illusion of images.
Proverbs 11:20-22
Proverbs 13:25, 15:24, 16:17, 14:13 - self-exaltation through oppressing people, or participating in oppressing people (through viewing the images of others doing so). This is exalting the self by causing pain or embarrassment to other people, and rejoicing in other people being helpless in front of you.
Proverbs 16:5-6, 3:31, 1:8-15 - covetousness
The sin of videogaming
videogames:
to have (the pretended illusion of) easy victories over difficulties (or “victories” over “people”) in a virtual world of images.
This is done for the purpose of avoiding to confront, or avoiding to think about, actual difficulties in real life.
These difficulties in real life, not dealt with, become worse.
Thus, real life become worse and worse, while the illusions of the virtual images seem even more appealing.
God wants us to live in reality (where there is God), not in an image-world (where there is no God, and where it seems the ruler of that entire image “universe” is you).
Image-worlds encourage atheism, and turn people evil, because they forget about God.
