Maybe, but chronologically, Pharaoh says no, then the plagues come, Pharaoh says he would let them go if they remove the plague, they remove the plague, then his heart was hardened and he says no again. The issue with the plagues being the hardening is that it says his heart was hardened after the plague was removed. Of course,…[Read more]

That is very true. I don’t think it is a particularly new development, but it is a major factor. All the other reasons such as school and technology would also heavily inflate that particular problem by getting people to put other things before God in the day to day, such as their schooling and likes on social…[Read more]

By the way, would you like to check out my ‘What’s a Question?’ forum? (I think you would like it there)

@anyone

Here’s another thought for y’all. I already have my views on this, but I’m curious what any of you think. Why did God basically play a game of stop hitting yourself with pharaoh? If you need me to elaborate, just…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Good points again, but the whole thing with numbers, you’re starting at one. God didn’t start. He is outside of time, and by eternal, I mean we perceive Him to be. He exists outside of time, so in our eyes, he never began and never will end. It’s not that he’s inside of time, he is outside of it, which means He literally can’t beg…

@light-warrior-pen

Great question! That’s just our world right now I would say. The most rapidly growing religion right now is the absence of it on some counts. Truth right now is simply being attacked more than ever before. The idea that God can make a mistake, and put you in the wrong body has grown greatly in past years, and the next step this…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

The reason God is exempt of being caused is that the only things that need a cause are things that began to exist, because eternal things logically could not have a cause.

Wwwelllllll…. yes and no depending on a whole lot of things. Something that is eternal could most defiantly have a cause. Can I clarify your definition of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I know!!! Words of Radiance was so good! I haven’t read Oathbringer yet, still need to get a copy from the library, but I’m so excited! Have you tried decoding chapter 84? I know it’s not individual letters, but what else?

@orangearmadillo

I’m glad I can’t convince you😂 To still respond to your points though:

1. You play back the causality argument on the atheist, but they may say that there could still be something else. Yes, what caused, what caused, what caused, but saying “God” doesn’t remove that problem except to simply say it’s eternal and unknowable, which…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Yeah, sorry, I’ve been off for a while, and I’m only now trying to catch up on everything, I’m currently trying to get myself to write N’nesha’s. I’ll get it done soon😁

@godlyfantasy12

Well said concerning the drunk. Many suggest that if you simply believe, then your good, because Jesus fulfilled the law of Moses. However, He didn’t fulfill it so that we could be lazy, it’s quite the opposite. He gave new commandments, commandments that work by higher laws. Matthew 22:36-39 says to Love the Lord your God with…[Read more]

@mackenzie

That depends on how I’m feeling, would I play along, or would I point out the fallacy? Maybe both.

“If no cat has 2 tails, and all cats have one more tail than no cat, then do all cats have 3 tails?”

I would say that if it is indeed true that a ‘no cat’ as 2 tails, and it is true that a ‘cat’ has one more tail than a ‘no cat’, then a…[Read more]

“If no cat has 2 tails,” is the premise😄 Sometimes, I like to just ask silly and/or thought provoking questions in general, often making fun of something linguistical or mathematical.

@godlyfantasy12

A good thing to know when your worldbuilding is why your worldbuilding. In your case, I’m pretty sure it’s writing. So now, what kind of world do you want to create, hard, soft, somewhere in-between? Now once you’ve answered these, there is no one way to start worldbuilding. Whatever feels relevant to the story, go ahead and…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Absolutely! As I said, there seems to be a lot of false evidence pushed, again, such as snapping an ape’s hip bone to look more like a human, therefore showing it’s early stage. I wouldn’t be so fast to shoot down some points though, such as bone structure, and genes, however it is greatly exaggerated, and again, can also point…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Very true! The point that the atheist would make though is that though they still have the same problem, as everyone does, that doesn’t mean that it must therefore be God, as it could be explained by natural processes. They use the term “god of gaps” for this. Saying that anything we can’t currently explain doesn’t automatically…[Read more]

@mackenzie

In my opinion, (don’t hate me for this!😄) when worldbuilding takes center stage it can read like a text book. I do appreciate worldbuilding and rigorously defined rules, especially the work that goes into them, but they’re not aspects I’m drawn to in a book. I still believe in keeping details consistent, but I’m a character driven…

@orangearmadillo

Imma back!

Again, excellent points! I think I agree whole heartedly. Although, If God coexists with mathematics, is there a set of Axioms that defined His nature? This is more related to the other forum you created, but there’s still a whole lot to ponder in this regard. I think I must disagree that asking why Picasso didn’t…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Fascinating point! Here I actually differ theologically concerning God being material, as I’m actually a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Regardless, the argument is interesting, however when you introduce the idea of a “concept”, you should probably define that a little more, because that’s really open…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

That sounds really cool! You made a forum for it right? I’ll have to check it out.

Exactly. However, you’ve still touched on something very interesting concerning the nature of math. The question of whether math was invented or discovered may seem obvious at first, and you and I can agree it is the latter, however, there is a…[Read more]

@autumnlily

A late welcome to KP! I’m the ArcaneAxiom, I love math, finding divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I’m also big on sci-fi/fantasy. I’m currently creating a multiverse with my sister (Princessachronicle) called the Septrum.

Questions:

Hard or Soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning more rigorously defined rules…[Read more]
