Im glad we see eye to eye on some things, but I do say it is a fine line to walk. That’s why I would say never because we are sinners, and err everyday. To walk such a fine line is a dangerous, so while I wish you the best, I wish you caution as well. However you have displayed your appreciation for caution as well, so I trust yo…[Read more]

@noah-Cochran

No. The program was simply using the cursing to, as Brian said, display the intensity of the situation. No sexuality, no crudeness. It was intentional. I’m not advocating for it, I’m simply stating a fact. I think something you need to remember is the Bible is rated R. It’s not a children’s story. It contains murder, sexual assault…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

I see your point, however, the question still remains is it edifying to others to have a stray  curse word?
Perhaps. Certain instances may occur where it could. Who am I to be absolute in the statement that it never could be. However, Christ was the most edifying, encouraging, God centered person who ever lived, and he told many…[Read more]

I’d personally love those topics but I agree, it’s a minefield waiting to go off. If others want to hazard it, I’m all go, but let’s see.

@brian-of-the-surface-world

could not agree more.

@joelle-stone

Thats interesting. I haven’t met anybody that thought that.
I have met someone who thought that after you’re saved you never sin, and if you do sin, you’re not saved.

@r-m-archer @denali-Christianson @emily-Waldorf @joelle-stone

Not meaning time abruptly change the subject, but what are some of the most bizzare beliefs you’ve known people to hold to that they think is biblical?

@denali-Christianson

Yeah, I can see that too. I changed it to,

Get a hold of yourself, Abner! It’s just a dream!

Does that sound better?

@r-m-archer

FYI I typed this up before your post, so if in any way I seemed to be making a shot across the bow, it was completely unintended, and I agree with your argument.

@r-m-archer @joelle-stone

lemme try it again.

Mainstream conservatives don’t like this, but I don’t think there is validity to many of the they make against masks. First of all, conservatives preach liberty and freedom, but find fault when shops and stores make you wear one, using the same liberties they are so fond of. Second, unless it…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

I had a long take on this, but SE won’t let me post it. I guess they censor COVID related stuff. I’m not sure. I’m a moderate in the subject, I don’t hate masks, but I certainly don’t like them, and the vaccine I think isn’t something that should be mandated but I don’t think it’s anything to be afraid of.
Let’s see if I get cens…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

these are good points as well.

@denali-Christianson @r-m-archer @emily-Waldorf @joelle-stone

Anyone have any theologically related debates ideas?

@denali-Christianson

Thanks so much! I get what your saying about his thoughts. I guess I do intend to portray him at first as more of a juvenile adult with no real experience, but I can see that perhaps I could tweak it.

I’ll get on those adverbs, and do my best to clean it up, but thanks again! I’m glad you all liked it

Okay, that’s helpful! Any particular one? I’m not too good with adverbs, so any help with them is sorely needed

@joelle-stone @denali-Christianson

Here’s the first chapter of my WIP. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

This is the story of a Great King, and a not so great king. One who is perfect, and one who is not. One king dressed in brilliant robes and august glory, the other in filthy rags. One at the mercy of the other.

Ah, but I get ahead of myself. How can I…[Read more]

@emily-Waldorf

for sure! Personalities vary, thus do writing styles. Still, careful, deliberate writing can be involved in any style, at least I think.

To answer your other question, before I watched the movie Tolkien, I said it, “Tol-ken” and I still do a lot, but now I know it’s “Tol-Keen”

Oh it gets to me to. It’s certainly concerning.

But, for know, we are to share what we know to be true as much as we can. So let us write! And write! And write more! Perhaps the ink we spill shall help spread the boundaries of which the blood of Christ shall ultimately cover. Who knows? He does great things with us broken sticks!

@joelle-stone @denali-Christianson

Ah. It’s good to know I’m not alone.

It’s funny how many cultural Christians will insist on their salvation, but will believe and broadcast such obvious strayings from the Bible is scary. Because if not for the grace of God, we’d be right in the front of that crowd

@denali-Christianson

Oh. Don’t get me started on our culture. You don’t wanna open that can of worms.

Just for kicks, is anyone else incensed(or almost) by the phrase, “follow your heart” ?

I’m honestly someone who is fascinated by the amount of detail evidenced in LOTR. I do aspire to learn what I can from Tolkien, and have been intrigued by the making of languages, and want to do so for my book, as shown in my philology page.

Honestly I see the benefits of both, but I think, especially nowadays, it is better for Christian a…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson

I definitely feel you there. A lot of people can get offended by things easily, so while I try to be considerate it’s nice to be with more understanding souls
