What is this game really all about?

[donnabright2002]

I mean serious, what is this game really about? I think it is about religion, except they have somethings back-words. The Trinity comes from God, not from kings. Also God is not a profit, he is the messiah. And Jesus aka God, conqured death, not a profit. I am going by a scroll I read from seeing some game play. Also God is not a lier as this game tends to say on a scroll something to that effect, or seems like that is what is is saying. If they meant something else, should of been more clear, even my friends are a bit confused. I love Tomb raider, ok, but this time has gone to far was violence, saying bad things about God, or sure seems that way, and a bunch of cussing. What happen to Lara Croft, she went way too far this time. I will still play the older Tomb raider and even up to TRU..But the last two games, something went weird, well for myself speaking.

I cant believe Tomb raider has done this to a game I love so much, but than again, nothing I can do about it, just not play the last 2 games.

It might make more sense if you finish the story. This has nothing to do with Jesus. Only thing that even remotely has any to do with a real religion is the name Trinity and a hint they might Be sent by the Vatican. That doesn't meant they were for sure. This game Is fiction not Sunday School.

I don't even remember. The story is so forgettable.

The story ends up being the usual 'evil organization seeking ancient unworldly power but is actually to fulfill one or two people's personal desires' trope. It's nothing to do with religion and attempting to drag Christianity into the mess is just weak.

There's a definite parallel with the mythos in the game and the Christian mythology but the game has nothing to do with any current world religion. You seem to have a problem distinguishing stories from reality - remember it's just a game.

This game doesn't say anything bad about god. There is an evil organisation called trinity, it doesn't mean the game is anti god, its just a name. From what im aware the story of this game was inspired by a few folk tales the writers tried to stick together. The word trinity is also derrived from the latin trinus which means threefold. Yes its usually using in a religious context but i don't think thats what this game is trying to get at. Tbh we don't really know alot about trinity from this game but im guessing the next will explain who they are in more depth and we will probably find out why they are called trinity. Maybe they think they are gods or something? I don't know but this game is definitely not anti religion.

Buy the following Shadow of the Tomb Raider to know the answer!

Jesus is the son of God made flesh unto man to purge mankind from the original sin. Jesus is not God, he was just a man. Jesus was a prophet to God. God is not the Messiah. A Messiah is a leader of a group or religion who speaks the word of that religion, The King of Man. The Messiah was Jesus. God and Jesus are not one and the same. Jesus didn't conquer death. He died. He was resurrected, he died fully, then was brought back. If he conquered death then there would be no resurrection, he would have just healed from his wounds on the cross walked off turned a lake to wine and peaced out. He died, God said "It is done" and Jesus was given eternal life, which doesn't mean he was given immortality and God let him roam the earth undead. He was given passage into heaven.

This is basic knowledge and you're trying to apply something you already have trouble grasping with tid bits of gameplay and reading a scroll or two through someone else playing.

The explanation is well documented. The backstory is explained in every document or voice recording you loot.

The game does not mention Christianity or Islam much for political correctness so they sort of fictionalized the religions.

Trinity is the wetwork army of the Vatican (Catholic church) trying to retrieve the Divine Source which does not have a divine origin (Alien perhaps?). Jacob was the first one to discover it and used its power. Though he was not consumed by it, unlike the Deathless (the ancestors of Jacob's people). He regretted granting the Deathless this power, and he kept this secret to himself. He only confided this to Lara later in the game.

story was so bad, couldnt even follow it. Its no wonder so many are confused when the new tomb raider series has had some of the worst writing in gaming history on par with bargain bin games.

maybe you should stick to childrens books

You have no idea what you're on about, not-ta clue what so ever, you clearly have not read the bible. or if you have it was not a KJV


[/quote] donnabright2002 [/quote] This is clearly a story line to mock God (Jesus)

There's pleny of versions of the bible to choose from.

OP stated God and Jesus were the same being. I was replying to them.

Good job formatting your very well thought out reply to a dead thread from a year ago.

My gosh people a fkin crazy

[DrNewcenstein]

It's sad that people still believe Jesus was God-made-flesh because they cannot comprehend the truth.

Hopefully this thread gets locked and dies a permanent death, because the opening post is 100% lies.

The organization in the game, called Trinity, is obviously not The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit (HEY LOOK! THERE'S THREE ENTITIES!), but some religious zealots who took the name "Trinity" because it allegedly lends credence to their deeds. They abuse a silent and forgiving God's name to commit murder and social/political engineering and hunt down "sacred relics" (LOL) to use their "power" (LOL) to try to rule (or end, or "save" as they call it LOL) the world, and attempt to reshape it in their image - with them as the human gods ruling everyone else.

This is no different than the Catholic Church going around hunting for the "Holy Grail" because they believe that drinking from it will give you immortality on Earth, or the "Spear of Destiny" because they think it can kill God. It's simplistic ignorance on an extraordinary level, and hints at their intention to kill God and become immortal on Earth, taking his place, which is not too far from what Trinity is attempting in the game - they obviously do not believe in God if they think the world can be "saved", much less that humans will be allowed to reconstruct any part of it with a magical artifact, or that they will escape judgment simply because they say they're "doing God's work".

In summary, there are 3 things you need to understand:
1. The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit are not the same entity. Yes, this is possible. Not among humans, obviously, which is why humans cannot comprehend it.
2. There are no "sacred relics" that have "power" to make anyone immortal on Earth, or turn them into god-like beings, or that can kill The Father, or The Son, or The Holy Spirit.
3. The book known as "The Bible" has been rewritten to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible, because humans are in charge of such things. I have a King James Version which clearly states in Genesis that creatures of the sea took to land and became beasts of the field. I also have one that says "there are three in Heaven - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - and these three are one". And yes, they all have "King James Version" on them.
Note that "these three are one" is stated just like the marriage ceremony states that the couple getting married are "one". Does this mean they become an androgynous entity? No. Does it mean God views their hearts as being united in His name? Yes.
Again, this is another point humans fail to comprehend, even when the plain truth hits them in the face.
