Ever wonder what it would be like to watch Jesus duke it out with the Devil? Well, presumably, that's what you get to do in "Journey of Jesus," a point-and-click Facebook game by Lightside Games that's being promoted as "the first-ever Messiah-based video game." We couldn't vouch for the validity of that claim, but it's probably the first social game about Jesus. The strange game is picking up enough press to get a mention in Time magazine. So far, it's got upwards of 2 million users.
The gameplay is pretty straight-forward -- players controls a cartoony biblical version of themselves as they help Jesus and the disciples out by performing point-and-click tasks, like gathering wood to fix a cart or clearing a thorn bush to get to the baptism. The social part comes in the form of sharing -- users also get to share their progress with their Facebook friends and receive perks for doing so, kind of like "Farmville." Now, we're not sure if that fight with he devil is literal or figurative. Many of the ads show the Lord in a boxing ring with his sandal perched on Satan's chest, but that could just be because it was released on the same day as "Diablo III." Visit the game's Facebook page, click "Play Game" to give it a shot -- and let us know how you feel about the video game about Jesus.

+9I see nothing wrong with it, for those of you of seem to have a problem with this, go make your own app and put it on facebook.
Cool cuz it's spreading the word of his work
this game is an abomination ....in which will not go unoticed by God. Satan lures only the weak in faith...to blaspheme God.
Free will............................ can come at a high price for some can't it????
What might you be calling judgment? In defense of Our lord and Savior..I was merely placing her horrific ridicule-back At her!
now da messenger lol, who the hell do you think you are proclaiming you are so just??? and yes indeed Jesus warned in the bible...about the repercussions of Sin-Which is hell.
Do you need to be seen messenger? cause your faith appears very insincere!
maybe you could read your bible, this time praying for understanding! Like the bible tells you.
you have come in defense of lizrobot post-In such a contradicting and manipulating post of your own.
Where were you when they crucified our Lord? doesn't sound like you were standing by his side. So who might you be a disciple of again???????????
didn't think so.
Oh and i don't have a pipe, nor do i smoke anything through such a device! :O lol
It sounds as if you have been hurt at some time or other in yur life, cause what i read beneath your words, is anger........yet not an unbelief in God....but an anger against someone or something in your life. Remember God did not do it!
What in God's name ...causes persons like yourself..to fall into such wickedness?
laughing at someone getting brutally murdered? ? And Jesus at that????
appears somewhat psychotic? don't ya think?
