@e-k-seaver I’d be up for button swapping on my Project Inspire blog. 🙂

@joy-caroline So how is God’s use of sin to show His beauty and grace in the true Story any more sinful?

I know that. But the fact is, like Libby pointed out, we’re dead in sin by default. Which means our default position is on a path towards Hell. We’re automatically condemned unless God directly intervenes and turns our hearts away from that…[Read more]

@ribbonash Hello! Welcome to the Kingdom! We’re so glad you’re here!

Oo, your WIP sounds super interesting!

Let’s see, some questions…

1. What other hobbies do you have besides writing?

2. What are some of your favourite books/authors/movies?

3. Any favorite desserts?

4. Pineapple on pizza? Yes or no?

@joy-caroline *coughs* I’m going to try to keep this to a single point and word it as a question so I don’t get in trouble (either with you or with myself XD). “It’s sin to cause people to make decisions that will get them to hell.” Is it sin for an author to write a story in which characters act immorally? If an author is outside the realm of t…[Read more]

@libby Ooh, that’s all very well-put. (And you’re welcome to continue. I only meant to personally step back. Although… I sometimes struggle to refrain from interjecting after I’ve told myself to step back, so I might return later. XD)

That’s all right! I won’t be tweaking the names until my next draft, anyway, so I’ll need it soon-ish but not…[Read more]

@gracie-j I tried to warn you. XD

Um… there are a lot on the list, so I’d have to go through them again. I know I referenced Romans 9 and Ephesians 2 in my overview of my beliefs of predestination, since those are the most overt passages. But there are some others. The one in… Numbers 23 also sticks in my head for some reason. Even though it…[Read more]

(wow, it’s been so long since I’ve posted here I’ve even messed up the formatting of spaces and stuff O.o)

*pops up from the dusts of antiquity*

@katniss-everdeen AhA, I do b’lieve I do! Wow! Hello again, Bluejay! *crazed waving* (Don’t worry, I remember your real name too, but I don’t know if you want me saying it here or not. XD) Long time no see! I need to stop using exclamation points! :’D

How are youuu?

@godlyfantasy12 I always fall behind! Last week I wasn’t in a writing mood at all so I didn’t keep up with my schedule of five pages. So this week I just did the math and now I’m gonna write eight pages a day until the end of January. It’s hard, but I usually make it.

@joy-caroline Just because He knocks on every door regardless doesn’t mean He hasn’t already determined whether or not they’ll hear. He knocked on the door of Pharoah’s heart repeatedly and harshly (He did signs and wonders so that Pharoah would know He is LORD), and He still closed Pharoah’s heart to such reception “that His glory might be known”…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms Link’s Crossbow Training is the game that introduced me to the world. After that I played Twilight Princess, which has some of my favorite graphics. But my brother got Skyward Sword for Christmas and I find the worldbuilding in that one fascinating. I guess I’d say Skyward Sword is my favorite? But it’s hard to choose,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline I should probably give warning before we continue that I can kind of get into “debate mode” and sometimes sound more… aggressive? than I mean to. So if I do, 1) you’re welcome to call me out XD and 2) it’s not my intention and I very much respect your thoughts and appreciate the conversation. 🙂

The thing with that Revelation…[Read more]

@joy-caroline I am looking at the whole Bible. There are verses in support of predestination and God orchestrating His plan through “vessels for dishonor” all the way back in Genesis and proceeding through almost every book of the Bible. There’s an ongoing idea that God gives and He takes. He makes alive and He kills. He opens and He closes. He tu…[Read more]

@gracie-j Cool! Let me make sure it’s up-to-date and then I can… hmm… Should I email it, or copy it to a Google doc and post a link here in case anyone else wants to check it out?

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Hey! Awesome to have you! You’re a little weird and love to write? I think you’ll fit right in. XD That describes us at KP pretty accurately.

What made you decide to make your The Traveler’s Caravan seven books? Did you decide before you wrote it or did just keep writing book after book until you felt the story was…[Read more]

@joy-caroline What translation is that? That looks like a good translation.

Secondly, though, I want to point out that in 2 Peter his audience is not the world, but the Church. Those who are either already saved or are growing up in the faith or have been drawn to the Church. So that “you” has a more limited context than we often think about.

@scripter-of-kingdoms Hello! I write large amounts of fantasy as well…I think I just like the presence of magic in my stories the most…hardest thing for me is to slow down and plot/worldbuild…I usually make stuff up on the fly.

@scripter-of-kingdoms Heyyyy, my first fantasy world started as LoZ fanfiction! XD I’m trying to rebuild it now so that it’s more of its own thing (which isn’t as difficult as you might imagine, thanks to the fact that I was a very under-descriptive writer XD) but still pays some homage to its initial inspiration. It’s sort of a fun balance, now…[Read more]

@abigail-m Ahh I love Ray Bradbury! He’s what motivates me to keep writing every day, haha.

@gracie-j Don’t know if you have any interest in this for your study or if you’d rather do it on your own, but last year I kept a set of highlighters by my Bible and marked verses that correlated with the principles of Calvinism (mostly verses on Limited Atonement and predestination, since I ended up focusing on that area more by accident XD). I…[Read more]
