freedom replied to the topic Apologetics in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 2 years, 3 months ago
I’ve recently heard about how King James put his name in the Bible by naming the book of James when the guy who actually wrote it was named Jacob, among other alterations.
Something like that can also be lost in translation.
There is not an English equivalent to every Greek or Hebrew word, and I think we don’t really try to think a…[Read more]

@trailblazer @thearcaneaxiom @whalekeeper
I definitely agree with Whaley on this one. If you believe scripture is God breathed…if you believe that God is truth, then you either believe that it is ALL truth and not just the parts you want to believe or you deny it entirely.
We can’t just say that the Bible is full of flaws and yet still…[Read more]

@rae Hiiii girl!! I was curious (and only share if you want to!), have you learned anything new about your great-grandfather that was possibly in the German military during WW2?
OH, and I’ve wanted to tell you…I recently learned that two of my great uncles were both in the US Army during WW2…they died long before I was born tho, but it’s…[Read more]

Oh and the link’s not working for me. It’s not even showing up as a link. :/ Did you use the link button at the top of the post box? I’ve used that before and it works fine. I just type whatever text I want, highlight it, press the link button, then insert the url into the small box they give me.

Hey!!
ooh, how is YDubs? I’ve been looking into it recently and it looks really cool. I’m just not sure if I want to spend the money on it or not.
I’m doing pretty good! Life is going. Writing’s been sort of meh lately. My main WIP is falling flat rn, so I’ve been trying to think of how to push through that writer’s block, but…[Read more]

Why do you think 11 isn’t pronounced onety-one?
-
Well, 12, isn’t onety-two, 13 isn’t onety-three, etc.
It’s more of a question as to why 11 and 12 aren’t oneteen and twoteen.-
Ahh yeah, that would make more sense. 😅

Hiii!!
I couldn’t find your website ☹️… I did see the rebellution page though…
I’m doing great! Just living and learning. Making very slow progression on my novel, but it’s coming together pleasantly. I’ve been trying to put a lot of focus on drawing and animating recently and I like how all that is going. So yeah, not too…[Read more]

@folith-feolin @theducktator @rae @koshka
Thank y’all for all of your thoughts! They were IMMENSELY helpful!! (and I realized something about Frida {the stepmother} today that I didn’t realize before…let’s just say she deserves the nickname “Evil Lady” even more now😭😡 poor Felix *sobs*)
and with that, I will be changing Felix a bit (mostly…[Read more]

Ok, so I have a bit of a plot hole.

I’m so glad y’all like it so far!!
I make no promises that any specific person will survive, although I don’t think I could kill Matthias…I have become too attached already😂 It happened so fast💖

I have more of Matthias (and others!!)
A scene (although there may be more at the beginning of it) and a snippet of the next scene (although there would be a POV scene from the 2nd MC between these two scenes, of course) that I wanted to share!!!
here it is!!!
and I officially love Moishe even more❤️😭💖

Yes I am!! Thanks for reminding me. I’ll post the next one(s) sometime tomorrow. I’ve just been getting so distracted and I’ve forgotten! 😭

Esther replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 3 months ago
Ok I will 😂 I want to start brainstorming it this afternoon (since it won’t be anything longer than a novella) but I’m not sure if I’ll get to it or not.
Ooh, I like that idea!! This is definitely still in the plot bunny stage, so any ideas are welcome. XD

Esther replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 3 months ago
Sooo… I just came up with a possible novel/novella/short story idea that I really want to write… Basically, this person, probably a girl, is told that she is the chosen one, or something like that, but she refuses. She doesn’t want to get involved with this at all. So the special responsibilities/quest/privileges are given to someone else, prefe…[Read more]

Esther replied to the topic The Chat Chat in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 3 months ago
I love this scene!
Welllll, you already know I like Matthias. 😛 But I think I have to agree with you—I like Moishe too. I get the vibe that he has a layered backstory, more than he might be willing to share… 🤔

One, that is really cool!
Two, I actually have! I discovered a printed document written by my Great grandfather to my uncle and dad. And it is confirmed that he was a French POW and he was in the army. He mentioned very little about his war life, but the thing was only a couple pages. I have tried to look him up a couple more times online, but all…[Read more]
Oh! I also meant to share this story with you. My Grandma told it to me in one of our many talks, and it has stuck with me forever. I believe it was even the same weekend that we first heard about Great Grandfather helping Jews.
When my Grandpa and Grandma were engaged and soon to be married in just days, my Great Grandfather was on a trip to…[Read more]
Yesss, it was sooo cool to find out!! I’m planning on requesting military records from the National Archives (I’ve done it once before when researching someone else) at least for one of my Great Uncles.
It is possible (if the wound was actually related to combat and not just a “war story” he told😂) that one of my Great Uncles never received a…[Read more]
Okay, that is triple cool! I hope you can find that out, cuz that would be awesome!!!!
I’ve tried finding German records, but I’ve been able to find anything. I’ve got a feeling they weren’t legit sites either. Plus, the Search Engines get confused with someone name Dr. Hans Eisele when I type in my Great grandfather’s name (Hans Ulrich Eisele)…[Read more]
Yessss, I’m really hoping I can figure it out too!
Yes, that sounds very difficult/frustrating😅 It’s also very difficult because many WW2 German military records have been destroyed, given that Germany was practically in rubbles by the time the war finally ended.
It’s definitely hard to find records like that bc of that.
Given, most high up…[Read more]
It is interesting tho (and many Americans are, but you know XD) that both of us are descended from Germans.
My grandfather (Dad’s side) has something that talks about how his family on his mom’s side came to the USA from Germany in the 1700s before the USA was even founded!
Which is also really cool tbh😂
Another great Uncle of mine was in the Air…[Read more]
I didn’t mean “high up” (my brain💀)…what I meant was most military records were likely held in Berlin.
idk why I added the “high up” part. XD
So, I don’t remember if I told you this or not, but I found my great grandfather’s grave. He’s buried in Hartford, capital of Connecticut.
I also discovered you can request WWII records! I have to fill out some German forms, which is great cuz it looks like I can only fill out the German versions, not the English translations and I haven’t been…[Read more]
