Ah yes, I can see why you are asking that. We are taught both that we should confess both big and little sins. (Which we call Mortal and Venial sins) but if you have Eucharist with venial sins on your soul all those venial sins are forgiven.

Good to know, thanks!

Yeah, that was a lot so I am unsure what to respond to first 😅 when…

Hi Kefa (just realized I haven’t said anything on your WIP page yet, still need to do that)

What are your thoughts on catholic reconciliation? (For those who don’t know, reconciliation is where catholics go (supposed to be at least every month) to confess their sins. And then they are forgiven for them.) And what questions do y…

oop, uhh, I will make a topic for it!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good😂

Nice, because I know other denominations just forgive to one another… 😬 that sounds worse.

And of course, we should reconcile ourselves with our fellow man, especially those we have wronged, but man cannot forgive sin, only God, and by extension those He’s given a…[Read more]

*Steals your questions*

Please do, Most Esteemed Feathered One. Your abducktion of my questions is an honor.

I would say you can tell if someone is a true Christian by whether they believe the Bible, and how they treat others.

I think that’s a good answer, though what if someone says they believe the Bible, and treat those around…[Read more]

Ah, hello intelligent being! And I would love to tell you all about my fantasy book I am writing!

Great! If you could point me to where you talk about it, that would be awesome:)

Hello! It is even more nice to meet you!!!! Also, let me introduce myself! I am The lost journal (something from my main WIP) Also know as my real name Kefa, or my split personality, which is the magic potato!

Hi Freedom! I am intrigued. have you developed how these different arcs blend into the overall story? What’s the worldbuilding you’ve done like so far?

This place looks cool, not sure if we’ve met, I haven’t been active lately, nice to meet you!

1. My denomination is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

2. I grew up in my faith, and will always be growing up in it on a path of continual conversion

3. Formally speaking there are the four standard works which…[Read more]

Nah, you’re just that predictable. No offense, if our roles were reversed and you came to me with a Bad Batch or Team Fortress fanfic idea, I’d react pretty much the exact same way.

Lol, fair enough

The original crossover was posited as occurring 1-2 generations after Korra’s time, I believe, and I think I’m gonna stick with that for my…

Always fair, however, I will say that you are s…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing that experience Hybrid, though I haven’t necessarily dealt with these same trials, I do know pain and doubt. I don’t want to force myself into this conversation, but I just wanted to say that God is aware of you both, and He wants to end your suffering, but there is a plan in all things. Anxiety is…[Read more]

Well, people who choose to live apart from God on earth are kind of living a personal hell, right?

Right, it’s self-inflicted. It’s choosing to be something lesser than you could be, which leads to sorrow.

How can someone get to the point where having the ultimate good would be worse for them than hell?

Because of who they chose to be.…[Read more]

That is true, he did have that point in between after the betrayal and before his death to repent. I guess we’ll never really know for sure why God allows us to go to hell. After all, as Judith said in her book, not even humans can a know for sure what is on other humans hearts, let alone the God of the Universes’ mind. Maybe people tha…

It doesn’t make sense really, after all these people are the ones facing hardships daily, wouldn’t it make the most sense to turn on whatever religion and god they believe in?

Very true, this is something we see repeatedly. Those who go through the worst in life often end up being the most drawn towards God. Part of it is because the…[Read more]

Why not just let us live in communion with Him in ignorance? I’m probably 100% wrong about this, but I think living in ignorance would be better than many actively rejecting God and being separated from Him.

I’ll give my best classical response, then my personally preferred answer.

Essentially as you’ve already said, there is victory a…[Read more]

Being forced to be active on KP and make progress on my writing? I can’t tell if I should be mad or grateful, lol!

Hi Shadow (and everyone else, I haven’t been on for like a year at this point).

So when it comes to my personal faith, the answer I give would be similar to what other’s have already said here, that it was essentially that God gave Satan free will. If God only gave the capacity to do good, then what is the value of that? In my eyes,…[Read more]

I can go into a lot of depth on this topic, but since I’m busy, I’ll just say this. More often than not, the best answer to this exact question is another question: Is it good? If it’s good, do it, who cares if it’s from the Holy Spirit. All good things come from God don’t they? Also, as Christ says, by their fruits you shall know…[Read more]

As a professional human male, I would be happy to offer some of my thoughts. What I think should be realized is that when it comes to gender, not every man is the same, and not every woman is the same. Men and women will have general differences, but a man can still be masculine while still showing off what might be considered…[Read more]

You tagged me, but this never came up in my email, so sorry for the late response😕

I’m pretty much on the same vain as Whale. Rivals is a pretty general term, but usually you’ll see some parallels between them.

There can be the kind of rival where they are simply trying to one up each other, simply prove that they are superior in…[Read more]

This is a hard situation. I’m not going to tell you what to do, because I haven’t dealt with such situations before, and I’m not going to claim any authority on the subject (though I do have family who might be able to help). That being said, the biggest red flag to me is her parents. If she is not only willing, but actively…[Read more]

I like to get to know it before starting the book, then I occasionally reference it during reading, but don’t have to.

Hold your horses now😅 We can do something like Tlavian if you want, it’s just the first thing that came to my head, but does it actually match the Andromedan language we worked out some time back? If not, we can either change the langauge, or change the word.

I guess some of both? Like what the Andromedans would call Him, as well as new names for what the humans could call Him?

I’m assuming we’re still just thinking about the Andromedans alone, but I mean phonetically in their tongue, vs translated titles. For example, a name for Christ in Andromedan could be Tlavian (I don’t…[Read more]

Let me think….yEs PlEaSe HeLp Me 😭😭😭

If you’re busy though, that’s fine no worries!

Fair enough, lol! I can help a little. So are you thinking about Andromedan language names, or English titles, or both?

That’s awesome! Any way we could get a link?

!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t chatted with Solfyre in a while, I’m so happy she’s made it! Is it her original sci-fi with the mixed breed wolf?

Good point. In that case, I need thearcaneaxiom (HELP) to help me make up more names for God/Jesus.

Late to the call. Is this still wanted?

I have an idea for a book, but I’m not sure if it’s too dark to write about. It was essentially going to be dystopian and where atomic bombs destroyed the major cities of the world, but looking back on it I realized how dark that actually is.

The main message was going to be that no matter how dark the times are, there is always hop…

You’re welcome! I’m really glad that you’ve learned and grown so much, and you’ll only continue to get better as you pursue this with the passion you’ve shown!

It did not bother me as much in Tress. This was because she never liked lying and she eventually got to a point where she decided not to lie anymore (right after she became captain). I recall her lying at all after that. John, on the other hand, seems proud of his ability to lie and does it without a thought.

True. I need to…[Read more]

Great review. This is pretty much what I expected. It’s interesting that you brought up the lying thing, since Tress kinda did that as well, where as her character got more mature, she was more and more willing to bend the rules of what she thought were hard lines of right and wrong.

My personal rating is probably 3 to maybe 4…[Read more]

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you, I’ve been really busy, and unfortunately am going to continue to be busy for a while. I’ll say a few quick things here though.

I should mention here that this backstory is going to be quite vague and a bit mixed up when it appears in the story. Lots of this history is lost to mythologies.…

Simply think about why the character is the way they are. Are they a pessimist, simply lack humor, quick to anger, or perhaps they are solemn and ponderous? In what way are they serious, and what lead them to be that way. Are there insecurities that are being masked by a flat face? How does this character interact with others, and how…[Read more]

I don’t like the idea of the bad spirit. I would like to avoid angels and demons (especially demons) in my story. This is part of the reason why I developed the crystals I wanted to avoid a demonic score of magic and I wanted to use one that felt more natural.

I’ve also played with the idea that other animals hel…

I accidentally said the wrong thing. I was trying to say that Jesus always did the will of the Father, showing the harmony between the Father and the Son.

I’ve been really busy today, so I’ve been slowly updating this post in bits of free time.

I believe we were originally created, and aren’t our own universal. Thus under God’s power we can be broken down into different parts – as before Adam, there was no Adam. But God doesn’t want this. We are consistent beings, not changing into ne…

Ok, so this is a wonderful point of discussion to go to when it comes to God’s nature. What is reality itself, and what is existence. A Baptist I’ve debated has been studying Aquinas, and has given the following framework that I think you’ll agree with:

There can only exist beings that are contingent or necessary.

I’ve been stalking this conversation, and I’ve found it fascinating. My dad says the reason the ancient Israelites weren’t taught about the Trinity is because of how rampant polytheism was. It had to be eradicated before they could understand Three in One and One in Three. By the time Jesus came, the Jews had a lot of proble…

Yeah, KP doesn’t do well with multiple links, sometimes it doesn’t do well with any at all. It’s kind of hit and miss in that way.

I like the confidence, but I don’t drink coffee. If you want long, w…[Read more]

Sorry guys; I dropped this when young adult life crept into play, and have since lost relevance and steam. I had some specific thoughts, since I wanted to clarify some things before moving forward.

Thank you for the suggestion of the trickster, but I kind of want to keep it as a curse if I go with the Sabtah origin story, trope or not. Why? Because of the irony. Sabtah was trying to escape curses and got cursed yet again. Perhaps some of what I was thinking is that Sabtah wanted to be separated from God, and while he could…

Hold on, let’s back up a bit. It’s great that you agree with most of what I have said, but I would like to know more about the Tritheist heresy you mentioned.

Here’s my story. It’s going under major reevaluation right now though, so keep that in mind if you want to read it.

This story is not about overcoming addiction, it is about overcoming sin (you are not the first to mistake it as this). While others do get addicted to magic, loving the power it gives them and how it makes solving their problems easy, my protagonist will never be addicted to magic. Warning, if you want to read my book someday,…

The church I attend is non-denominational, but I would say it is in a group of churches coming out of Grace Community Church that feels very close to becoming their own denomination considering it has things like its own hymnal (Hymns of Grace) and Psalter (Psalms of Grace). I’m not sure what it would be called though. Gracits o…

He is on a quest for redemption, and fears being drawn back in. Towards the beginning, he tries to redeem himself by becoming a hero, but as the story goes on, he instead learns to trust in The Saviour to forgive him and to help him overcome temptations to magic.
