Or maybe i just feel like that because i'm a historian, and my mindset is kind of like that.
Things that i like and are deep are something i plan to put in a book some day.
Refutations on islam, apologetics to the church, etc.
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.
yeah I'm worried that I'd be going into too dark/borderline edgelord territory
but as it turns out we live in a society
(regarding writing)
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.
Oh boi, Chuuni and Vera are the same person?
Negative
Oh, i thought so for a minute.
well
we're all in the same body
So perhaps that's where the confusion came in
Lmao.
lol
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.
Like, in a novel.
Hmm
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.
Like with Dante's Inferno
Hmm, i could do that.
Make my character get in to a coma here and there. (?
Maybe
Look at Dante and Milton
They created novels involving God without heresy
Jesus is a chad. change my mind
^
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?
Oh nice, i will look to those then.
@arsenicMysticist I don't think you can write an orthodox book and it including backwards time travel
to fix mistakes
It's not meant to be permanent.
It's meant to be a lesson on God's mercy.
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.
Wich is spiritual growth and repentance.
And in reality sin is not unmade, what has happened has done so, as Elder Thaddeus said.
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?
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.
So it's a novel but it has a lesson in the end.
Several, and i'm trying to be careful on how to say them.
