@faith-q You’d help him up? Or were you the one who pushed him off?

Well, if I do join, I hope to see you there!😃 Don’t ask Brett or anyone anything yet, though — I’m working through my own concepts right now and trying to refine them😊.

@faith-q Yeah, Picket was cool. And at the end, after he loses his arm and his niece is sentenced to “100 tickles for spreading dandelion seeds all over his garden”…..

Picket: “I’ll try to carry out the sentence, but I have only one arm, and one hand on that arm.”

Heather: “If you had two hands on one arm that’d be weird.”

Picket: “Depends on…[Read more]

@faith-q You need to write at least one short story under Vierra F. Spring, and no one will understand except that one person who laughed at you.

@faith-q

That is such a good question! I’ve seen it over and over again in books or films (*cough* Disney *cough*) where rebellion is wrongly glorified, and it’s really something that needs to be addressed.

Most people have already summed it up on this thread: respect your government and obey them UNLESS they order you to do something that is a…[Read more]

@faith-q Here’s my ideas:

Like everyone else said, there’s a difference between obeying your ruler completely and respecting them as the Bible says.

If a leader tells you to steal or murder, will you? It goes against God’s law and is therefore wrong, no matter what earthly rulers may think or say. Think of Christians under Muslim or Communist…[Read more]

@faith-q That is a very good question, and one I’ve asked myself a few times haha.

To answer your question, I would look in the Bible.

Esther defied Haman, who wasn’t a king, but he was apart of the rulership in the monarchy. She played a major role in having him executed.

All throughout the old testament, (which, granted, things are different…[Read more]

@faith-q

Okay, so I’m probably just going to repeat what everyone else has already said since I only skimmed a few of the replies. yeah, I’m lazy. 😂

But I TOTALLY get your question. This is something I’ve been wondering about a lot lately actually. And actually, in my novel, Heir to His Crown, there is a rebellion group that my main character…[Read more]

@faith-q

Well… I’d say everyone else here has given great answers.

I’d say the same thing. With your characters actions if he messes up be sure to portray the wrong as wrong.

Again with the government and any authority we are commanded to obey them unless it goes against the Bible. And when we can’t obey still do it respectfully. Like @elishavet…[Read more]

This was cool to read through. All of these are some great points.

@faith-q

Emeric and Jornan. Hhhmmmmmm. If I were writing this kind of situation, honestly I would bring in a new character to help snap Emeric out of his guilt, and remind him of the truth so that he’s able to do what’s right and apply all that was said here.

(also I love those…[Read more]

@faith-q

Thanks for starting this conversation! All I can say is that you guys are great and I’ve just learned so much right now reading through all your responses.

I don’t have much to add, since I think you guys have covered everything that I would have said. I think I’ll just address the topic of Jornan and Emeric and the personal issues…[Read more]

@faith-q

When is it okay to rebel? Good question, and here’s my questionably good answer(which is basically what everyone else has said. Those were great answers, ya’ll!). When government goes against what is right or godly, we have to speak up. To go along with evil is a sin, or as the Word says, “to him who knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,…[Read more]

@faith-q

Regarding the government question, I think I’m agreeing with everyone so far. We should obey the government as far as we’re able–that is, so long as the government is not demanding we do something that violates God’s law.

Other times when one might want to disobey the government I think come down to Christian liberty. For example, the…[Read more]
