(eh… how about once we hit eight or so letters, we evaluate if it works as a word, and evaluate each time we add a letter, until we agree to stop.)

@thearcaneaxiom

Sure.

@thearcaneaxiom

I mean, a google doc would be neater, because we could sort everything into sections and state things more concisely, but I’m good with whatever.

@thearcaneaxiom

Maybe we should create a google doc or something so that we can record this information concisely. Otherwise we might end up sifting through pages to find something.

@thearcaneaxiom

Sure!

@thearcaneaxiom

Yes! Maybe put a heading in bold to indicate the topic and then if you’re following up on what someone else said, quote them?

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom

Okay. You ever get that feeling where you want to grab your laptop and delete everything you’ve ever written and chuck it across the room?

yeah. That’s the mood I’m in.

I got an email today from a mentor that read my writing. He gives good advice…but often leaves me with a feeling of hopelessness for my WIP. Right…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That’s such a cool concept!!

@rae

Nice topic! Thanks for making it! I’ll maybe share some of my stuff sometime, Idk.

@thearcaneaxiom

I know bits and pieces. Tolkien does a lot of tales of the mortal man and fair elf maiden in the history of Middle Earth, so I get them mixed up, but I know that much.

It’s sooo good, and one of the few times Silmarillion characters actually get a happy ending. And even then, it’s depressing.

Interesting! So they’re essentially p…

I do agree there is something powerful about the laying on of hands, and I won’t argue with you on that. And certainly, if someone is being ordained or brought into a role of leadership, I think the laying on of hands is important. I do think there is something powerful about a leader laying their hands on someone else and praying…[Read more]

acrane’s sword

That is a cool sword.

I’m a little late, but yeah, swords do seem to be a little overrated. Personally, I really like bows and small knives that you can throw.

@thearcaneaxiom

I think I understand what you’re saying. I’d say that authority is still active- I think there was a period of time where it wasn’t as commonly seen in the church, or perhaps inactive altogether (I’d have to do more of an in-depth study on church history to say for sure) but I definitely still see it around me today. Just as with…[Read more]

If I remember correctly, that only happened three times in the history of Middle Earth, actually, although I can only remember two.

Just had to comment, lol, sorry!

@thearcaneaxiom

Authority as in God designating specific roles, like the Pope for lack of a better example, or authority in the terms of authority God gives believers over satan and his demons?

In both cases, I think the question is not necessarily “Is authority Biblical?” but rather “How far does authority extend and what is our proper…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I haven’t read the Silmarillion, but I know the majority of the stories, and it’s a very different kind of dark and cynical, but feel free to look into it, I still recommend the first to anyone.

Shall do. (Which stories do you know? Please tell me you know Beren and Lúthien, it has the best twist of fairy tale tropes ever, and I wi…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

You probably haven’t heard much about it because you won’t see it in the major denominations. From what I’ve seen, it’s primarily in the nondenominational churches, and it’s been something that has been brought back more in the past 50 to 70 years. There are a number of Christians who don’t believe the roles of the apostle and…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yes, that’s essentially what I was getting at.
