Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 (KJV)


FLASH IS DEAD
In 2011, there were over a billion users of Flash. The SWF Flash file format specifically was used for ActionScript, animation and vector graphics and resulted in thousands upon thousands of Flash games. There were issues though; Flash itself was buggy and had security vulnerabilities. 10 years later, in 2021, Flash was dead.


GNASH IS DEAD TOO
Computers4Christians had used Gnash (a free and open source alternative to the Adobe Flash Player) to serve up the over 150 Christian files in the SWF format included in it’s Christian Linux distribution. But, Gnash was pulled from the Ubuntu repositories in 2020.


GNASH IS BORN AGAIN!
Remy van Elst made Gnash live again as a snap! Gnash is again used to play 12 Apostles Quiz and Memory Game, Christian video shorts, Fun Bible Stuff and Flash Bible Games! And there are no security issues – the Gnash snap is sandboxed – it only works on SWF files in Home and those files can’t reach the Internet.
