Yeah, that makes sense. I wonder if Sanderson will come up with any specific reason of why different metals interact with investiture differently.

Okay, I sound like an idiot and feel like one.
I’m sorry:(
This reply is going to be short, I didn’t get to sleep until like four this morning so my thinking braincells are dead.
Please do take the time to think things through, and get the proper amount of sleep to do so, otherwise this conversation will fall flat.
Is my guess correct that t…

Hiii! This seems like fun!
Mind if a charrie of mine crashes the party? (With ever most politeness of course)
Though I’m not sure which one I’d throw in here…🤔

Although, it’s not really a trick question. I mean it seriously. The trick is in that of trying to lead you to accept something about the nature of God if you do subscribe to all the Omnis.

That’s a good point. It could be the rarity of silver? I would assume that it’s commonplace, but perhaps not?

Yeah it was interesting. I’m not sure if the Evil is directly caused by a Shard splintering, but the shades are so it seems likely. Arcanum Unbounded mentions that a shard was shattered near Threnody, and it was confirmed in a WoB that that shard was Ambition, splintered by Odium. (Odium sure has a nasty track record. He murdered a q…

I wonder if you could use Feruchemy. Remember those disc things in BoM? What if you were able to store connection to Elantris and then tap it so that you could use AonDor anywhere?
That would make a lot of sense. Scadrians are the first to discover space travel, right? That could explain Tress. Then the Elantrians in SH were simply in the…[Read more]

You still haven’t proven that mathematics wasn’t created by God. Ihnk in is wise, we will have to agree to disagree and turn away, unless you want to continue.
Mathematics, logic, emotion would not exist without God, and I believe that God created them. But I can’t really prove that, neither can you disprove it.
I actually never was trying…[Read more]

I think Sanderson said you would have to “hack” the magic system to get AonDor to work off world.
In other words, RAFO😂
Sanderson is well known for his magic systems, but I feel like AonDor and all of the other magic systems that are only hinted at are all fairly boring. AonDor is quite generic for a magic system. It can do basically any…

In context, your verse actually means that Paul can bear, can do anything God wants him to do if God wills it and strengthens him.
Yeah, makes sense to me!
The Doctrine of Hermeneutics. The latter part of that verse (John 1:3) says simply that what this passage means by…

Alright. Well, I think I just did that with the verses I showed, unless there’s still a fallacy somewhere.

While I’m laying my beliefs on the table, I’m also a Creationist, I believe strongly in the doctrine of hermeneutics, I believe in context, and I often take a literal viewpoint of the Bible’s text unless it is clearly poetic.
I just realized I missed this. I’m not familiar of the doctrine of hermeneutics, do you just mean Sola Sciptura? When…[Read more]

I didn’t think you were. I’m used to that, my grandfather and my…technically step-grandmother are not Calvinists either. In fact, Grandpa openly opposes Calvinism to the point of saying that John Calvin was a heretic. It has caused some…divisions to say the least.

Yeah, I enjoyed it, but I see what you mean. There’s so much about the Elantrians I want to know about though, like if there is a locational influence on how much power an Elantrian has, then when did they figure out how to explore the whole Cosmere, still bearing their powers?

Mars hill was the place of philosephers.
Ok, cool!
Though, if there was nothing to teach us about one and two, then we wouldn’t know about it. Also, math would not exist if God didn’t. Someone has to create it right? math is not outside of God, He could break math when He wanted to, but He is so orderly, and never changes that I don’t think…

Put that way…XD Anselm would probably never win a debate on Mars hill!
Lol, yeah, I don’t know much about Mars hill, but yes, his rhetoric seems to ultimately fall flat.
I’ve heard variations of this idea. Essentially the idea that mathematics is essentially assumed to be not self sufficient, because mathematics is something that only s…[Read more]

Great point. That’s one argument many have made to Aquinas’ cosmological arguments, saying it’s too disconnected from the God of Abraham. In this case though, I would go further. One of Anselm’s students found this argument to be completely invalid. He said to imagine the most perfect island. This island is so great to live on that nothing…[Read more]
