The bible doesn't say that it is wrong to have worldly interests. But it encourages examining your heart and further ensuring your interests do not stagnate your faith, nor do they steal you from the path that leads to God.
It's either heaven or hell. There is no on the fence. Kinda like how really there is no 'maybe". It's either yes or no. Maybe tends to be no 90% of the time, used only to get someone to shut up. If you want to be with God, you can't just talk the talk. You gotta walk the walk. If you don't want to be with him, then he isn't gonna drag you by your feet into heaven. He will let you be separated from him, which will inherently be painful as you are separated from the one who gave you all good things. All those blessings will vanish just like that.
For everything created is something beyond its creation. For everything moved is something to set it in motion. A music box does not craft itself, nor does it wind itself. A domino does not set itself up, nor does it push itself down. A hammer does not craft itself, nor does it hammer a nail into a board itself. A tool is only as effective as its maker's will to use it.
The dimensions of storytelling. 0D: the idea/starting point. The origin of the world and its plot. 1D: plot progression. Where the main plot is expanded. 2D: world expansion, branching plot, and subplots. Where the world gets bigger, the main journey diverges and other journeys begin. 3D: world lore and humanization. Expanded lore on people, places, and things. Expanded emotional layers. 4D: the overview and summarization. The world as a whole in its own time frame and the summary of its narrative. 5D: World rules. Explains world phenomenon and mysterious events. 6D: reality shifting. The main idea stays relatively the same, as well as some characters, but reality has shifted, causing diverse detail changes and story differences;an alternate reality. 6D types: The line: The plot follows linear motion down the chosen path. Transition: The plot splits between two options, one of which wouldn't have happened within the linear playthrough but has happened. Example: Henry Stikmin. Scene: Fleeing the Complex; call toppats or government. In the previous game, Infiltrating the Airship, you either helped the government or joined the toppats. 7D: All worlds and their possibilities viewed from a higher plane.
It's rather sad to see some people call themselves atheists because they can't believe in a supernatural God. Yet they will give spiritual attributes to objects or dabble in witchcraft, which is a spiritual practice. The problem with that is that there is no picking and choosing what does and doesn't exist. If there are "powerful spirits" and "spiritual forces," what are the odds of there not being an infinitely more powerful God? Not to mention, there is no spirituality without a spirit. What is spiritual warfare without the spirit? What are you fighting if not that that is spiritual? That's like having a friendship without the friend, a coloring book without the means to color it, or a burger without the burger, and a war without an enemy. Also, what is it you control spiritual forces with? A spirit. A conscious spirit that dwells in us, you can not control something spiritual with something physical, but you can control the physical with the spiritual. That is where possession comes from. Regardless if you think there is spirituality without a conscious spirit, then you bought an RC car without the RC.
You can not become immunized to sin. The more you expose yourself, the quicker you crumble. To put it simply, exposing yourself to sin is not like adding plates of steel until it is sufficient enough to stop bullets indefinitely. Rather, it is like a river against a wall. The faster the tides, the sooner the wall will crumble and need replacement.
Anomaly: The Railroad Danger: Yellow Description: This railroad is located in a remote town off the coast of [REDACTED]. walking on this railroad often seamlessly transitions a person into an alternate dimension where the railroad line goes on infinitely. The surrounding area is described as mostly beautiful forests, rivers, and lakes. Rarely a train will pass and stop at an occasional checkpoint. These checkpoints are small stations that connect to the rails but with no roads or any sign of civilization. The checkpoints tend to be placed quite randomly but often far from each other, but they are a vital source of food, water, shelter, and comfort. The shelters tend to restock only after moving to a new checkpoint. The closest recorded checkpoint station is a 6-hour walk. The stations often contain a radio or tv, notably having one or the other but not both. They all share a digital alarm clock for time management. Upon the TV or radio music and shows play, one such song is a twisted version of the railroad song describing the dimensions environment. Upon closer examination of a train within one such station reveals that they are unpiloted but still perform as if there is a driver. Often, the train is devoid of passengers as well except for the occasional unlucky soul that passes the anomalous track while on a train. Despite the idea of fast travel out of the dimension, it is described more as fast travel between stations, and it is unknown if riding the train can get you out as much as it pulls you in. Within the forests are creatures who often stalk the rail line, attempting to avoid drawing attention. The creatures tend to attack mostly at night, so getting a good description is proven difficult. A week here is equivalent to a day in our own reality. Upon exiting, a lady who calls herself Winter, on account of forgetting her name, describes how she went through multiple checkpoints where some people come and go, mostly by train or by an attack. One day, however, instead of the ordinary station, she found a much larger building connected to a physical civilization marking the end of her suffering. Well, after being detained by officers and marked as a crazy person screaming at people not to ride the trains and talking about another dimension.
The Railroad, but it's horror: normal, semi-joyful, country accent: I've been working on the railroad, Oh the ever long day. I've been working on the railroad, oh just to pass the time away. (Whirrs down like a record slowing) *static* Deeper voice: Strange things have happened upon this track. Oh, I never recommend ever comin' back. Time is at a stand still, don't ya see? An ever growin' dark eternity. Not without a lucky break, will ya ever hope to escape. A dark and lonely path this is to walk, beware of the creatures that tend to stalk. Outta sight, oh, outta mind. No, it doesn't matter, not this time. Run, run now, but don't stray from the line, or else ya might never see home again. Now, don't you ever ride no train again, oh cuz' the railroads are not your friend.
