Thank you for providing this answer. I do agree with a lot of what you said, such as how whether or not God chooses who he will save is a secondary issue and how going to a church, no matter what the denomination, does not determine whether or not someone is a Christian. However, I still would like some more clarification, if you do not mind. You…

I have read Skyward, but only the first two books. Stormlight, I am a little intimidated by. I’ve heard Sanderson himself describing the opening as a wall you have to climb with your fingernails to understand, and when you reach the top, then you will be able to enjoy it. On the other hand, I have read Wheel of Time. Perhaps I w…

At least from what I can see, Christ did not denounce the Pharisees for trying to be right – because they weren’t. They were pretending to search for truth, and instead abused the original covenant conditions by deconstructing them into aimless laws.

I don’t necessarily see how those ideas are mutually exclusive. Mind you that I did…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh, lol, you beat me to the switch, I’ll read through your post now

@linus-smallprint

By the way, (theducktator, and thearcaneaxiom as well), what books would you recommend to a fan of Tress and Alcatraz?

Hmm, we’ll I’m biased for Sanderson in general, so I’d point to anything from him. Frugal is up the same ally of humor and flair, but you’re already reading that. Have you started Skyward? I think you’d like that…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint @whaley

(Also, as you and Whaley have suggested, perhaps we should take this over to the Apologetics chat and leave this to people who want to discuss Tress of the Emerald Sea)

I agree, so I’m just going to make the switch right now.

A couple of things. Firstly, I did not realize the term ‘Mormon’, is offensive, I am sorry for…

Indeed we do have very different theological and cosmological prospectives. It just bugs me that that needs to be where the identity of us as Christians must be. Yes, theology is important, but what did Christ constantly denounce the Pharisees for doing? Weren’t they constantly concerning themselves about being right, and Christ was…[Read more]

YESSS I LOVE LIFE OF FRED!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 it’s so cute though

@linus-smallprint

Sorry, right now I have no plans to read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. After seeing some of the artwork in the book, it seems there may be some scenes I would not be comfortable reading. I also found out that the plot involves Yumi and Panter switching bodies, which is not something I am interested in reading about. I know…

@rae

No problemo! Glad I could help! 😊😊💛

I shall try to think of more to say tomorrow. 😓

@stephie @theducktator @everyone

To be quite honest, I really don’t have to much to say about Screwtape Letters rn, and my brain is quite fried from to much time on my computer and the internet. I found the whole book was very good and relatable in different ways—and I enjoyed reading it. Overall, I really agree with all of what you said, Ste…[Read more]

@trailblazer

What are some ways to set up healthy boundaries with technology to keep it from overruling our lives, and how can we use it to our benefit? What can we do to take advantage of this tool, literally at our fingertips, to make God known?

A common practice within my own faith is fasting. We specifically fast from food every first Sunday.…[Read more]

@theducktator

No problem!! 😄💛

Haha, you aren’t lying!! XD XD I love it! Nice scene!

She waited for Cassian to catch up with her, annoyed by how good he looked with the wind playing with his hair.

Hah, that’s cute. <3
