      Thank you for your input. I agree with using the same God and Holy Spirit; my issue is more how to portay Jesus. I don’t agree with neglecting the death and resurrection, as that is what redeems us.

      Now, while my tale isn’t about the death and resurrection, if I want it to have Christianity, at some point the “Jesus figure” would’ve had to come to the world, die, and rise again, even if it’s just part of the world’s history. That part I can’t copy and paste because it deals with the physical world. How do I explain that God came to a fantasy world as a mortal and sacrificed Himself?

      Again, that event isn’t the focus, and the story takes place after it. The focus is walking with the Holy Spirit, and the wonder, joy, peace, and strength He brings that nothing else can. But part of that means knowing who you are in Christ–a son or daughter saved by His blood.

      I hope I’m making sense here. One thing I have decided on though is that God IS in there, because what world, no matter how fantastic, can be complete without Him?

        But yes, I just wanted to say that I LOVE your passion, man! Showing that deep, raw side of God in fantasy is something that hasn’t been shown very often, and I think it’s a good thing.

        I’ve wanted to write/help write such stories myself, so this really resonates with me.

        So my answer is: Write it, man! Trust God, and He’ll bless it.

        God bless!

        Everyone has a choice; but how will we make the right ones?
        (hint: God ;))
