So I’m finally sharing my own writing, at least some of it, I doubt I will share much beyond a few chapters, but we’ll see. A lot of you know me to be a…[Read more]

Thanks!! We’ll see what happens 😅

Nice signature lol

It’s this, lol sorry the link didn’t work in my profile

Yes. I know many people stick to certain denominations, and I have nothing against it, but for me personally, it isn’t something I’d prefer.

Yeah, and that’s great. We are all on our own separate paths in making covenants to the Lord. As long as we are sincerely and humbly seeking Him out, He will reveal His truths to us line upo…[Read more]

Thanks, that means a lot!

That’s actually not how the LDS Church works, Very different culture in that regard😅 We are a single worldwide church, united under (what we believe as) divine priesthood authority, having modern day prophets, seers, and revelators. Though there are a small handful of split off groups from when the Church was…[Read more]

So I’ve thought about predestination a bit after learning about Calvinism / John Calvin in History/AP Euro class. If you would like me to talk about the historical aspects of Calvinism I can. (I like to use history to do apologetics stuff as history and literature are my main areas of study)

Additionally I was t…[Read more]

Great! I love it when my point of view is challenged, as long as it is with respect. That is how we become stronger in our faith and testimonies. I’ll be waiting with enthusiasm!

(Btw, could you use the proper name? We don’t like to be referred to by Mormons, it’s actually a slur. We prefer the full name The Church of Jesus Christ of…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom I would love to challenge your stance on Mormonism, but I’m going to have to read up first 😉

And @orangearmadillo I love how passionate you are about bringing others…[Read more]

I completely agree on what you’ve said concerning gender ideology, and it was in the subtext of what I said about technology. My Church is very firm with the Proclamation to the Family, which is simply collecting and reaffirming what we already believed:

[ h…[Read more]

Absolutely! Does God not want all to come unto Him, every Man and Woman, Jew and Gentile, Race, tongue, and culture. It simply doesn’t make sense that God would intentionally force one to bitterness, then punish them for it, that wouldn’t be a loving God, but a vain and hateful one. I think it’s good to point…[Read more]

Well there’s also the topic of predestination to keep in mind (if we are open to that)

Also, hi

You all took the words out of my mouth. It wouldn’t make sense for God to harden Pharaoh’s heart because He wants everyone to repent and turn to Him. I agree with you two.

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]

Okay, so I’m not the only who thinks it’s the school system and technology 😂 I also wonder if it’s because Christians don’t really have any heart in their religion anymore. If you think about it, there are some Christians who think about God on Sundays and when they do their quiet time. I…[Read more]

Sooo yeah I got super busy out of nowhere, so this chapter is way late, but here’s Norok’s 2nd POV!

Norok slowly rose to his feet as the guard held the spear inches from his chest. He tried for a casual smile, difficult with sharp teeth jutting out of his maw, and put a claw…[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]

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…

[Read more]

Sorry, I haven’t been very active on here. But I have a question I’ve been pondering for some time and I would love y’all’s opinion on it.

I ave seen/heard of several studies and article about kids leaving the faith once their adults. I’ve heard various theories about it and…[Read more]

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]

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]

Jesus said in John 3-5:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second tim…[Read more]

Hmm cool topic!

Though I personally haven’t ran across many people who have ya know, come at me about these things, I know others who have, or who have needed to share the Truth in the moment and it’s always good to know.

For us, it’s not usually wether God exists however, because here, where I live, everyone believes in Go…[Read more]

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]

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]

I would love to hear whatever character you got (:

Alright I’m going to fill out this character template, and this is for my OC that I created for my new Marvel AU

1. What’s their name? 

Mary
 
2. What’s their role? (Sidekick, Main Character, Villain, etc)

Side (I guess XD)
 
3. Do they love anyone?

No
 
4. Do they have any…[Read more]

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]

@smiley @mackenzie I’ve been to the Ark Encounter too! It was really fun.

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]

I know some of you have a lot of stories focused on teens XD So yeah feel free to fill up this page

also, I want your guys’ opinion on this

I read too many stories where the twelve-year-old acts like a six-year-old, I…[Read more]

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]

Ok, so I love this forum! Though I would like to challenge your original argument for God at the beginning of the forum. A learned atheist would likely point out that you’ve used a causality argument, which they would either say “god of gaps” or if they want to think a little more, they will ask “Who caused God”. You may say He…[Read more]

Interesting thought on hard worldbuilding. I prefer hard as well, but I don’t feel like that’s really a problem with soft worldbuilding if it’s done well. The problem with soft worldbuilding is when the writer gets lazy and lets the story contradict some aspect of worldbuilding established earlier. That might be what you…[Read more]

Thx!

Hey, it’s progress. 😉

@kyronthearcanin

I know! I’m so happy! 😊

You’re almost halfway there! 😆

@both-of-you

Woo-hoo!! That’s awesome!! 😄

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!

*totally didn’t just copy and paste tags* XD

Hey everyone!!

Right now, my second draft is over 40,000 words!! I’m hoping to make it at least 60k-70k words. 😬 So I’m getting there. We’ll see if I make it! My…[Read more]

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]

No problem.😄 I appreciate both of your answers. Thank you for being so careful to cover everything in each response!🙂

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?
