For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done…

A maiden in a tower as the villain.
I like that one @anna brie Do you mind if I use it in a story? 🙂 -

A handsome young villain with evil butterflies wielding time sabers ready to rule the world.
Hmmmm…this is getting interesting! 😀 -

@Hope, I don’t have a Pinterest, but I could use Google images. Thanks for the ideas! 🙂

Or maybe he is obsessed with marrying the MC and that is why he brought her to his castle, but she refused with vehement obstinance, so he sought the 9 powers so that he he control her to his will, and then found out that she controlled the 9 powers …

What I was asking is why he wanted to control them— why he wanted power, why he wanted prestige. It seems a little cheesy to me that he would want them simply for their own sake— simply because he’s wholeheartedly black and finds pleasure in them for the destruction he can wreak with them. What does he want to accomplish with them, and why?<…

@Daeus, Yes! I completely agree. There has to be a happy medium between forcing the Biblical principals and you-can-do-whatever-you-want-because-God-will-love-you-anyway. 🙂

@Daeus, Yes! I completely agree.

@kate-flournoy, great suggestion! I’m definitely going to work with the plot…what I wrote is by no means set in stone. 😉 I’m definitely going to work out why the villain wants the 9 Powers; it actually drives me crazy in stories when the villain has no particular purpose for destroying things and terrorizing people…he just does because he’s…[Read more]

Exactly! @Daeus 🙂 We can’t avoid the rules in the Bible (kind of like assuming there is a God in novels, it should also be a given that the morals of the Bible are true), but we don’t have to outline them in our stories.

@writefury, thanks for the ideas! I’ll have to think about the contradictions idea. 🙂
The story, so far, is about a girl (the MC) who lives in a small town in another land. It’s fantasy, so I’m probably going to set the story in another world (which I haven’t figured out the name of yet 🙂 ). An evil king rules the country in which she…[Read more]

Greta replied to the topic Christianity in Fiction in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 8 months ago
Yes, it does makes sense @kate-flournoy 😉 And I completely agree. Nobody wants to be given a bunch of rules to follow *coughmecough* 😛 I think that portraying God’s love (rather than all the “rules”), even in stories, will inspire people to seek God. A lot of people, I believe, think of Christianity as a bunch of rules. But it’s SO much…[Read more]

Wow! I have rels in Canberra. Yeah. It is so cold here. It was drizzling as we played a game of cricket and was overcast and not very summery. 🙁
Yes! Daydreams are great for short stories. @kate-flournoy has been telling me that everything has a story in it. You just have to think creatively. And it’s working for me. Last night I had a headache…[Read more] -

@anna-brie Hello. And no you’re not the first Australian. I signed up a few weeks/months ago. I am quite new to story writing and I certainly don’t write novels. 🙁 Scary!!! The most I’ve written is around a 5 page story. 🙂
Where about in Aus are you? I live down in Victoria almost on the border. Isn’t Australia a great place to live??? (Sorry…[Read more] - Load More
