A late welcome to KP! I haven’t been very active lately, but I was mentioned on your apologetics page, which I love! I’ll be hanging out there, but first, I’ll introduce myself. 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…[Read more]

That’s awesome!!
And yeah, I know what you mean. I’m nearing 40k words in Healer, and I’m hoping to make it 80k or 90k, heh.
@everyone
Also, @orangearmadillo and I are just about 15% through the first book of Zutora! Besides editing, anyways. We’re hoping to shoot for 76k!

@orangearmadillo Hey dude, I probably haven’t talked to you yet but I’ve read some of your RPs and they’re cool 🙂 I like armadillos – they’re one of my favorite animals.

Jsyk, I’m going to take a break for a while on the novella goals, because I’m currently writing a short story for an anthology. I should still be able to keep up with Healer and Zutora…[Read more]

I mostly use python, JS and HTML although I am taking a class on Java next year. I mostly use my programming for my classes (ie Ap compsci) for computer security (white hat hacking). I’m also on my schools robotics team (we made it to worlds last season) so even though I’m on the build team I’m trying to lead Java so that I can r…[Read more]

I’ve been wondering, have you ever spoken to a person who used to be a Christian about God? I find this to be far more difficult, because they already know what the gospel says. How can we encourage former believers to see Christ in a new light?

I Also listen to a good amount of NPR on my way back from school. So I kinda listen to secular music in a way I guess… Hehe
I think the only real music (I mostly listen to music when I’m doing computer programming related stuff or managing stuff) I listen to is musicals. Right now I’ve been listening to parade and Hamilton a lot…[Read more]

Smiley replied to the topic Apologetics in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 6 months ago
Oooh interesting topic
I feel like there’s a whole different acceptance of faith. I know a lot of kids that became Christians young but turned away from God, and I also noticed that their parents were turning away from God. I think there’s a time when you have to make your faith your own. Maybe for a long time, your faith was…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo
It just takes one eye opening talk to change a person’s mind about God…well said.😊
How would you respond to someone who doesn’t necessarily look down on you or get angry because of your faith, but kind of treats you as childish for it? -

@orangearmadillo
Did your friend struggle with the notion of being a sinner? How do you explain sin to a person who didn’t grow up in the church? -
Mackenzie replied to the topic Apologetics in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 6 months ago
I’m glad I’m not annoying you with questions! 😄
Another thing I’ve been pondering is how important is it to discuss Hell. Or rather, how much detail should be given. -
Folith-Feolin replied to the topic Apologetics in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 6 months ago
I think you should check out Tim Keller or David Platt I like to listen to them a lot on my way to school and they frequently mention this kind of stuff.

Mackenzie replied to the topic Apologetics in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 6 months ago
You’ve been very helpful. Thank you. You’ve given me a lot of good questions to ask and points to bring up.😊
Something else I’d like to ask is how important do you think it is to share your own experience when either talking about God or defending Him.

Euodia replied to the topic Hello there peoples in the forum Start HERE 1 year, 6 months ago
Depends on what you think makes a movie good. 😂 If you like movies that are very similar to the book then The Hobbit movies are not for you! They added so many unnecessary things to those movies and they are not like the book at all. (I mean, that’s what happens when you turn a single book into three movies XD) Buuuut, I still e…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo
I really appreciate the time you put into answering. Thank you!😊 Very thoughtfully said.
My friend grew up in a Christian home, and from what I can gather … how do I put it? One parent wasn’t living out their Christian faith. There’s a lot of hurt, anger, trauma, and bitterness there, and I don’t know what to say.

Hey, hope you don’t mind if I jump on board. I love topics like this; you’re right, defending our faith is important. Yes, I have read Lee Strobel, at least his kid books and a couple of his teen ones. They’re amazing and helped me with doubts about my faith.

@whalekeeper
Thanks! That character is in a trilogy I’m writing with my sister.
What type of stuff do you like to write?
Your sister has mentioned working with you on multiple occasions. What’s the story about?
Hmm, I like writing fantasy, but sometimes I’ll go the more sci-fi vein with superhero stories. (Although I’ve never actually finished a book XD). I enjoy the exaggerated and the ridiculous, so some of my character’s descriptions have a cartoony feel.
You?
@whalekeeper
It’s about a bunch of weird creatures, like the armadillo-warrior-people, who get into a war over a prince’s bad decision (idk what the decision is yet). One or two people from each race other than the Diceros (basically Rhinos) go to a magical mountain to get powers. They do, but they also see an evil force called the Murk while they…[Read more]
Sounds like it was inspired by animals living in the grasslands and savannas. Do you and your sister each have one character, or are there other important characters? Why didn’t the Diceros go?
XD What an interesting concept…
@whalekeeper
So me and my sister each do four characters, which kind of ties into your other question. My sister does four of the seven who went to the mountain, and I do three of them plus a Dicero Commander named Izor. He plays a big part because he helps the seven with his army.
Yeah, we came up with it one day and then wrote like four chapters…[Read more]
