Or maybe i just feel like that because i'm a historian, and my mindset is kind of like that.

2019-02-24 07:06:34 UTC  

Things that i like and are deep are something i plan to put in a book some day.

2019-02-24 07:06:44 UTC  

Refutations on islam, apologetics to the church, etc.

2019-02-24 07:07:42 UTC  

And social issues i'm treating them in the form of a novel, that has quite some strong stuff but it's intended to show the true perversion we have suffered and that we suffer because as you mention it very well, we are born slaves of this condition.

2019-02-24 07:08:22 UTC  

yeah I'm worried that I'd be going into too dark/borderline edgelord territory

2019-02-24 07:08:26 UTC  

but as it turns out we live in a society

2019-02-24 07:08:40 UTC  

(regarding writing)

2019-02-24 07:09:20 UTC  

Degeneracy has always existed but there was a time where most people upheld the idea of repulsing it.

Nowdays degeneracy is the rule and most people hold the idea of spreading it, and repulsing all that is good.

2019-02-24 07:09:28 UTC  

Oh boi, Chuuni and Vera are the same person?

2019-02-24 07:10:17 UTC  

Negative

2019-02-24 07:10:32 UTC  

Oh, i thought so for a minute.

2019-02-24 07:11:09 UTC  

well

2019-02-24 07:11:14 UTC  

we're all in the same body

2019-02-24 07:11:23 UTC  

So perhaps that's where the confusion came in

2019-02-24 07:12:03 UTC  

Lmao.

2019-02-24 07:13:25 UTC  

lol

2019-02-24 07:15:40 UTC  

Btw how do i make it convincing that God may give a person a second chance to go back in time and change something in order to give a lesson.

2019-02-24 07:15:42 UTC  

Like, in a novel.

2019-02-24 07:16:00 UTC  

Hmm

2019-02-24 07:16:06 UTC  

I know no one here is a novelist nor a theologian but i'd like some ideas as to not include a severe straight up heresy in my story.

2019-02-24 07:17:24 UTC  

Make it clear that it's fantasy and not theology

2019-02-24 07:17:32 UTC  

Like with Dante's Inferno

2019-02-24 07:18:27 UTC  

Hmm, i could do that.

Make my character get in to a coma here and there. (?

2019-02-24 07:18:38 UTC  

Maybe

2019-02-24 07:18:49 UTC  

Look at Dante and Milton

2019-02-24 07:19:11 UTC  

They created novels involving God without heresy

2019-02-24 07:20:13 UTC  

Jesus is a chad. change my mind

2019-02-24 07:20:19 UTC  

^

2019-02-24 07:20:31 UTC  

I also intend to be very cautious as i was planning to make Christ appear (not necesarily phisically but by voice, through icons and such) but that's even harder as i also do not want to tergiverse our lord's attitude.
Even if i manage that, would it be disrespectful to make Christ a participant in this?

2019-02-24 07:20:37 UTC  

Oh nice, i will look to those then.

2019-02-24 07:20:41 UTC  

@arsenicMysticist I don't think you can write an orthodox book and it including backwards time travel

2019-02-24 07:20:44 UTC  

to fix mistakes

2019-02-24 07:21:00 UTC  

It's not meant to be permanent.

2019-02-24 07:21:08 UTC  

It's meant to be a lesson on God's mercy.

2019-02-24 07:21:36 UTC  

It would put in question God's goodness if he allowed certain people to undo sins and others not if not for the conventional means.

2019-02-24 07:21:51 UTC  

Wich is spiritual growth and repentance.

2019-02-24 07:22:07 UTC  

And in reality sin is not unmade, what has happened has done so, as Elder Thaddeus said.

2019-02-24 07:22:58 UTC  

So someone is sent back in time to realise being sent back in time wouldn't fix anything, since he needs to repent more fundamentally of something else?

2019-02-24 07:25:44 UTC  

That, and second, that the fact that God allows our fall in certain cases to teach us is a greater mercy for all mankind, and also the fact that people who do not repent stay condemned is also mercy as it would be no fair either, as each one of our choices matters, a God who would avoid us to make these choices or that does not let the consecuence of those choices to unleash, it's unmerciful, as it would mean he does not care.

It's also meant to eliminate the conception of God as some mystical mage in heaven who sould protect us because people misunderstand what his love is.

2019-02-24 07:25:56 UTC  

So it's a novel but it has a lesson in the end.

2019-02-24 07:26:13 UTC  

Several, and i'm trying to be careful on how to say them.
