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.

2. You are not quoting the Bible, you are pieces out and not giving facts or complete reasoning which is give with those so called bans.
As for me I have seen Angels, I have seen real Mircles,(not the mircle of your stupiity) and heard His voice. and see the proof of His word come to life.
What was the real miracle and how did you know for sure it was one?
Hearing voices could be a sign of a mental disorder, you should get that checked out.
I for one have never seen a person walk on water without it being a trick. I haven't seen someone turn water into wine, I having seen anyone wave the hands and part a sea. Nor have I heard a buying bush speak. I wonder why these things just don't happen now that we have the tools and the means to tell when they might be tricks....
I have seen lightning though.. so maybe Zeus or Thor is a real god...
Amazing the stupid (non intelligece, non important) people give us (christians) entertainment.
They like you just try to find justification in others instead of there wicked ways.
I give you on Jesus and John B-day was predicted 400 hundred before they were Born.
Mary (Jesus mother) - wedding and birth also predicted and came true, and this has been prove true by other source besides the Bible.
Anything else to show the lack of intellences.
