…Who in turn took it from a historical character “Vlad the Impaler”. I forget where he lived…somewhere near or in Russia. That kinda area. (Y’know…his name /is/ Vlad.) He was a real guy though. And I’m fairly certain (though we never could know for sure) he’s about as close to the insane psycho villain Hollywood gives us as you can get. His life g…

Ok I have an interesting question for you lot. What is your opinion of cannibalism? Sorry, but I had to ask. Is it good, is it bad? Is it right, is it wrong? Is it evil or is it misinterpreted and could it really be quite a beautiful thing if interpreted correctly?
Hahaha ok so obviously some of that was sarcasm but I am interested to know.

First off, I just want to thank everyone for the very respectful nature of this conversation. It has been very refreshing! 😀

@Ezra:

Exactly. Gandalf in LotR would be more accurately described as an angel.

@Sarah:

Where does the Bible make a distinction between wild beasts and evil beasts? I have not heard of that. And why does the Bible…[Read more]

This is what I found on a brief google search. Hopefully we haven’t done the same thing with KP!

Very good points, Ezra.

Welcome to KP! It’s nice to have another INTP around! 😀

I agree. They are probably the exception rather than the rule. 😛

Right, love at first site in American culture usually means two people find each other physically attractive, and that’s it. Whoopdy-doo. How rare this occurrence is. It is truly destiny that has brought you two together! Not. 😛

Right, if the characters are Christian, it would…[Read more]

For my parents, it was love at first sight, and it seems to have worked out pretty well for them. 😛 It depends on if you have a mature and accurate understanding of love. Rebecca agreed to marry Isaac without even seeing him once.

But yeah. I don’t know if I can think of a single love plot that portrayed the way things should be done, at least…[Read more]

Hi Dani! Welcome to the forum!

Living in Alaska sounds so awesome! Have you always lived there?

From your post, I think I must have been sending the message that I think it is wrong to even have a vampire or a zombie in your book, because they are evil. Absolutely the Bible addresses witchcraft and evil— I am not against having those things in my book. But don’t promote evil.

Okay, yes, I did misunderstand you. Sorry about that! I was…[Read more]

Probably not the kind you would like, I have no actual references. But there is the Bible itself. If you’ll recal there is no mention of vampires and zombies. There is, however, verses that talk about not drinking the blood of life (which vampires do.)
Leviticus 17:11 – For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upo…

Reagan, I cannot think of a single example in the Bible where vampires were condemned, but there are several places in the Old Testament (I have forgotten the references— a bad habit of mine) where the eating and drinking of blood is forbidden. I’m not a huge scholar of vampires and therefore maybe I’m missing a key point of what it is to be a vam…

I’d like to point out that as Christian writers n matter what world we write about they should still be governed by the laws Christ has set down. In my opinion.

Do you have Biblical support to back this up?

Also, what makes vampires inherently demonic? There is no reference to vampires in the Bible, and certainly none referenced in a…[Read more]

We have a pretty large backlog, and also with all of us all being volunteers and so only being able to work on Kingdom Pen in the spare time we have between college and jobs, it is normal for it to take awhile before approval and then publication.

I would not be comfortable either reading or writing about zombies, because I don’t like messing with the natural laws (life and death) God has set in place.

If so, Kate, then would you say you are also not in favor of stories like Narnia and Lord of The Rings which take place in other worlds and have elements that are much different from our world?
