Well, people who choose to live apart from God on earth are kind of living a personal hell, right?

Right, it’s self-inflicted. It’s choosing to be something lesser than you could be, which leads to sorrow.

How can someone get to the point where having the ultimate good would be worse for them than hell?

Because of who they chose to be.…[Read more]

@theshadow

That is true, he did have that point in between after the betrayal and before his death to repent. I guess we’ll never really know for sure why God allows us to go to hell. After all, as Judith said in her book, not even humans can a know for sure what is on other humans hearts, let alone the God of the Universes’ mind. Maybe people tha…

Love this movement, protect Adolin! I’m on the final stretch of Rhythm, and I’m not worried about it, but you really never know with Sanderson, he’s really good at things like that. He’s killed favorite characters before, but it’s generally still fulfilling when he does, like with LightSong.

@theshadow

It doesn’t make sense really, after all these people are the ones facing hardships daily, wouldn’t it make the most sense to turn on whatever religion and god they believe in?

Very true, this is something we see repeatedly. Those who go through the worst in life often end up being the most drawn towards God. Part of it is because the…[Read more]

@theshadow

Why not just let us live in communion with Him in ignorance? I’m probably 100% wrong about this, but I think living in ignorance would be better than many actively rejecting God and being separated from Him.

I’ll give my best classical response, then my personally preferred answer.

Essentially as you’ve already said, there is victory a…[Read more]

Being forced to be active on KP and make progress on my writing? I can’t tell if I should be mad or grateful, lol!

@theshadow

Hi Shadow (and everyone else, I haven’t been on for like a year at this point).

So when it comes to my personal faith, the answer I give would be similar to what other’s have already said here, that it was essentially that God gave Satan free will. If God only gave the capacity to do good, then what is the value of that? In my eyes,…[Read more]

@theshadow

I can go into a lot of depth on this topic, but since I’m busy, I’ll just say this. More often than not, the best answer to this exact question is another question: Is it good? If it’s good, do it, who cares if it’s from the Holy Spirit. All good things come from God don’t they? Also, as Christ says, by their fruits you shall know…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

As a professional human male, I would be happy to offer some of my thoughts. What I think should be realized is that when it comes to gender, not every man is the same, and not every woman is the same. Men and women will have general differences, but a man can still be masculine while still showing off what might be considered…[Read more]

@theshadow

You tagged me, but this never came up in my email, so sorry for the late response😕

I’m pretty much on the same vain as Whale. Rivals is a pretty general term, but usually you’ll see some parallels between them.

There can be the kind of rival where they are simply trying to one up each other, simply prove that they are superior in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

This is a hard situation. I’m not going to tell you what to do, because I haven’t dealt with such situations before, and I’m not going to claim any authority on the subject (though I do have family who might be able to help). That being said, the biggest red flag to me is her parents. If she is not only willing, but actively…[Read more]

@theducktator

I like to get to know it before starting the book, then I occasionally reference it during reading, but don’t have to.

@savannah_grace2009

Hold your horses now😅 We can do something like Tlavian if you want, it’s just the first thing that came to my head, but does it actually match the Andromedan language we worked out some time back? If not, we can either change the langauge, or change the word.

@savannah_grace2009

I guess some of both? Like what the Andromedans would call Him, as well as new names for what the humans could call Him?

I’m assuming we’re still just thinking about the Andromedans alone, but I mean phonetically in their tongue, vs translated titles. For example, a name for Christ in Andromedan could be Tlavian (I don’t…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Let me think….yEs PlEaSe HeLp Me 😭😭😭

If you’re busy though, that’s fine no worries!

Fair enough, lol! I can help a little. So are you thinking about Andromedan language names, or English titles, or both?

@kyronthearcanin

That’s awesome! Any way we could get a link?

@hybridlore

!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t chatted with Solfyre in a while, I’m so happy she’s made it! Is it her original sci-fi with the mixed breed wolf?

@savannah_grace2009

Good point. In that case, I need thearcaneaxiom (HELP) to help me make up more names for God/Jesus.

Late to the call. Is this still wanted?

@theshadow

I have an idea for a book, but I’m not sure if it’s too dark to write about. It was essentially going to be dystopian and where atomic bombs destroyed the major cities of the world, but looking back on it I realized how dark that actually is.

The main message was going to be that no matter how dark the times are, there is always hop…

Sorry, I’ve been offline more and more lately.

You’re welcome! I’m really glad that you’ve learned and grown so much, and you’ll only continue to get better as you pursue this with the passion you’ve shown!

I would also be honored to appear on your acknowledgements, and I love the paragraph you’ve shared from that.

Don’t…[Read more]
