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.

Make it clear that it's fantasy and not theology

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.

Most of these i have learn them from learning theology, so they aren't really my idea, i just want to convey those in a story, where they can have a name and a last name, like a parable if you want.

Also, the fact of people misunderstaing God's mercy leads to the mispractice in our society.

When christ appears before me

I'm going to have a panic attack

Because of all the sins i commit

😔

tfw

We're not even there yet and i'm already ashamed of my sins before God tbh.

I'm just worried I won't pass through the tollhouses because I keep forgetting to pray before meals

Don't you mean the tollhouses?

Because if i'm not mistaking they aren't really a dogma.
and i have seen this vid on that.
