  1. I'm not sure I get what you're saying. Do you mean something like Honor would be Honor of God?
  2. Yeah. While some of the stuff the Church says does not make obvious sense, people excuse that as us being human. I'm not telling you to reconvert, however. The one thing I do hope is that you still think about the more ethical Catholic values, as those really helped strengthen my moral compass early on in life.
  3. Or, it could be something entirely different. In Latin, -ium is one of the suffixes used to denote the genetive case, which can dictate possession. So Adonalsium could mean of God. What would the implications for that be?
  4. Oh lol. I was just trying to simplify it. Both in my church and in my true father's teachings, the ethics of Christianity are more important than the actual supernatural story. I still believe all of it, but it seems that how I interpret it differs from others. When I say that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are an "aspect" of God, I mean it in the sense that They are all considered the same being. God, in the way I mean it is everything to ever exist and will exist. These "aspects" are different components of this being as perceived by humans. God the Father creates and administers punishment, Jesus walked the Earth and lived as one of us, and redeemed us through death, and the Holy Spirit guides us on our path to spiritual maturity. They are all the same Being, simply three different interpretations/interactions with His creations. And in terms to the arianism thing, "allowed" was the wrong word. I meant more of "sent". Although it wasn't subservience it seemed more like the Father divided/copied Himself and "downloaded" it into Mary. The whole not knowing He wasn't God thing was my mistake. I must have forgotten that part. Edit: And I'm Roman Catholic lol. My family somehow focused more on how Christianity empowers us to do good things. From what I've been taught, what you believe is negligible if you are a good person otherwise.
  5. Necro-spike intact. Awaiting orders I'd like to see "Spren Measurements" Taught by Guest Lecturer Geranid
  6. Pretty good language tho
  7. This is a good explanation, but I have to throw my own hat in the ring. @Deliiiiiightful This is how I personally interpret the Trinity: In the beginning, there is one God, the Father. He creates the universe and all the creatures and things of the Earth. During the Old Testament, this is the God which is referred to. He empowers the prophets and guides the Israelites, promising them one day a Deliverer. This is the first we hear of Jesus Christ. Jesus is an aspect of God put in flesh. Basically, He is a divine part of God who is allowed to walk the Earth as any other man. Although Jesus is incredibly insightful into the workings of the Church and theological debates, He has no knowledge of His true origins until the Father claims Him as His one and only Son when Jesus is baptized. Jesus lives on earth and gives teachings until He is crucified at the age of 30. He is resurrected three days after, and gifts each of His twelve Apostles the gift of the Holy Spirit. Up until this point, not much was said about the Holy Spirit. However, it was said to grant the apostles the ability to speak all languages of the world and the courage and wisdom to spread the Christian faith. During Confirmation, each and every child to be Confirmed has the Holy Spirit sealed within them, to give them strength and guide them. God the Father acts as the supreme Creator and supernatural being, who dispenses punishment as He sees fit. Jesus is the more loving, understanding aspect of God after he returns to Heaven. Jesus is the one who forgives sins. The Holy Spirit is the one who gives strength to follow faith. It's like a God with three faces. Each one represents a different aspect of the same divine being. One is Creator, one is Redeemer, and one is your Guide.
  8. Please. Please when this is finished just show it to us. I need to see this.
  9. Kinda necro. The way that I take it is that gods have complete and utter arrogance. After all, they are gods. I try to give them a sort of aura of mysticism and complete knowledge, even if they are operating on a very personal level. Even with all their cards on the table, they still seem to know everything better. Nothing phases a god, even the possibility of death is laughable. Try to give an example of their powers to prevent them from seeming weak.
  10. Would his own body heat show up on top of the body heat of someone else?
  11. Author? Genre? Summary?

    Hello

    Very good cookies. They protect you from Ruin. Whoever offers them to you wants to Preserve your innate humanity. Want one? Also welcome to the Shard Rage! We're a pretty positive and energetic bunch, so have at it.
  13. I found true love. She didn't.
  14. Vivisection
  15. Second one has a far different(in my mind) writing style and pacing. Not to mention we don't get to see Ged for a couple chapters at the beginning if I remember right.
  16. Anyone here have to rapidly put on a fake persona due to hatred against religion? Like I'm Roman Catholic and there is some major hate for it at my school. It's like I'm the devil because I'm conservative.
  17. Finals start on Tuesday. Someone want to tutor me in the Chinese dynasties?
  18. Well, I've been stuck here for quite some time. Can I be a Halo Arbiter?
  19. Granted. But the first thing it wants to do is shoot its lasers at your face. I want to have the acute ability to increase or decrease emotions in others and myself.
  20. Dude this is one of the (in my mind) funnier and more plausible theories out there, but I just have one more hole to poke(as is in my nature). Doesn't Nightblood only affect singular targets? I mean, it's a big sword but still, I don't think it's big enough to destroy the entire universe in the relative period of time Odium would want it to take. The guy holding the blade would probably make it run out of power before he could do any real damage(statistically speaking) to the greater Cosmere. Unless he went directly for Shards. Also wouldn't Odium just kill himself? He seems like a pretty bad dude.
  21. Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. He'd have to do it pretty damnation fast because the longer he holds onto it the more its gonna drain him.
  22. I used to rule the world. A puppet on a lonely string Who would ever wanna be king? EDIT: @Darkness Ascendant fixed it.
  23. I know, you loved me so.
  24. This is great!
