In the Defense of Mocking Satan

The bible is written during a 4000 year period by at least 22 men led by the Holy Spirit. The languages chosen by God are ancient Hebrew and Koine Greek. God is one in being and the three in persons. Every person found in the Bible existed. Adam fall we sin all. God created mankind on the sixth day. The Bible is based on God point of view and is about Jesus Christ. Satan exists and is a created being called a fallen angel. Which mean Satan was at one time an angel who served God before he fell from grace. This grace did not come from him but given to him by God. I learned this by going to church that certain knowledge comes from Satan. Such as, abortion or anything considered demonic by nature. I was never asked to question other motive or to disagree with those had said these things. I became in a sense dumb. Who then is a source for all knowledge? God is the source for all knowledge. How men use such knowledge make us answerable to God. Who is Satan to me? Satan is a liar, a deceiver as demonstrate in the Garden of Eden. And Satan is also a fallen angel (Isaiah 14:14-15). In conclusion, I do believe it is okay to mock Satan and to do so remove any sense of fear one can have of him.
This is my own personal theory!

One day Sam who is a new convert to Christianity ask Joe who is a baptized member of the Church the two are going to a question. Who is Satan? Do you remember when you first read Genesis chapter 3 asks Joe? Are you trying to help me out answer Sam? I want to help you out by using evidential apologetics responds Joe. By helping me use what I have learned already say’s Sam. Yes answer’s Joe quickly. I remember reading Genesis 3 answering Joe earlier question. Tradition has it that the serpent found in the Garden of Eden is in fact Satan. That Satan by this time had already been kicked out of heaven and that he half heartily so convinced the “Woman” wife of “Man” to eat the forbidden fruit. Why did you say half heartily, the question of the moment by Sam? Man and Woman were given a care free lifestyle compared how we live today. As God is the great governor of the World, all other things were under their stewardship. God commanded them to not eat of the forbidden fruit. Which is the apple interrupts Sam. Joe continues by doing a slight jovial Ahem in his voice, because the rebellious serpent knew they would be punished for doing so answer’s Joe. So what does tradition have to say about Satan personally, Sam asking another question to Joe? That he was a high level angel named Lucifer. And, he led a failed revolt against God. That unspecified number angels who supported Satan fell along with him. Unspecified number because a third of the angels do not give us an accurate number of angels that exist in the first place, say Joe. Was that helpful ask Joe? It is helpful for now answers Sam. So, what did you learn today in Liberal art class ask Joe? The difference between Virtues and Sins as it relates to our view on the development of entertainment in Christianity answer Sam. Have you memorized the names of Satan as I want to have a one word back and forth dialogue, as Joe ask a second question to Sam? Who do you want to go first, answer Sam by asking it in a form of a question? Since I brought it up you can go first respond Joe to Sam question. Satan as Asmodeus the lord over lust says Sam. Satan as Belphgor the lord over Sloth says Joe. Satan as Lucifer the lord over pride says Joe. Satan as Beelzebub the lord over gluttony says Sam. Satan as Mammon the lord over greed says Joe. Satan as Leviathan the lord over envy says Joe. Satan as Diablos the lord over wrath says Sam. Do you know why we claim Satan is the lord over these sins asks Joe? I’ve only learned the basic so far in class says Sam. It is our way of making fun of Satan. God had promised Adam and Eve a savior Joe continue. If someone who I knew tricked me. I would want to make fun of them as well. Also, in our tradition, there are only two camps you can belong to. One is Satan and the other is God. Satan want’s anthropomorphic man or the race of man to believe each individual is morally good. That is knowledge can come from himself. Morally good as in man knows the difference between right and wrong interrupts Sam. You are correct, Joe responding to Sam. Essentially man can live apart from God. Silly really because without God we are not able to even breathe. So when he was defeated by the Lord Jesus on the cross. Satan plan to rule the world was dashed forever. However so long as man does not want acknowledge God even if he is not chosen be saved. Man will be forever be snared by the trap laid by Satan 6 centuries ago, say Joe. So is Satan prideful, lustful, full of envy, greedy to the max, enjoys to eat, rather lazy, and want to seek revenge ask Sam. All we know of Satan that he is fallen angel and likes to lie. Those characteristics you mentioned come from our own sinful nature. We would not need someone to atone for our sins if man had not fallen in the first place. By developing our own epistemology on the subject; Christians can in fact make fun of Satan, answers Joe. Anything else asks Joe of Sam. Not on this topic answer Sam.
Chapter 2 Rise of Catholism 391 AD
By Gman4326
Whereas in the east the Greek Orthodox Church became the dominate system of worship. Here in the west the Catholic Church became the dominate system of worship. Only way this could happen when the Emperor Theophilus made it illegal to worship the false gods. Around this time Jerome one of only two men in ancient time who learned to speak in the hebrew tongue. After the first generation went to be with the Lord. The other man was Origin of Alexandria. Jerome work would be called the Latin Vulgate.

Creation Primer
Creation Primer
By Russell Le Masters
We are created beings and our Creator made the earth and the millions of planets in the universe. Were made out of nothing. No created god can do anything out of nothing. The word comes out of the Latin Creator–oris. Which mean either maker or founder. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the waters. And God said: Let there be light and there was light. And God saw the light was good, and God divided the light from darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness Night, and there was evening and morning one day. And God said: Let there be space between the waters to separate water from water. And God made the dry ground, and divided the waters which were under the dry ground from the waters which were above the heavens: and it was so. And God called the skies heaven and the evening and the morning were the second day. God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good And the evening and the morning were the third day. And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, To shine in the sky to give light upon the earth, and it was so And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night and the stars and put them in the sky to shine upon the earth, to govern the day and night, and to divide the light from the darkness and saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. God said, Let the waters teem with life, and the earth under the sky. God blessed them by saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea birds increase on the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and reptiles and wild animals of all kinds, it was so. And God created man in his own image he created him; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:1-27)

Chapter 1 Birth of Christianity 27AD
By Gman4326
Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God with mighty works and wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know- this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.... Acts 2:22-23 RSV
Epstein in 2003 wrote an English translation of the Talmud. Found in the Sanh. 43a; The Jewish leaders charged Jesus with being a Sorcerer, 40 days before Passover would begin.
Roman Historian Tacitus born in 55AD and dies in 115AD. Wrote this "suffered the extreme penalty during our procurators Pontus Pilate" time. Annals 15:44.3
Ten days after the Good Lord's ascension. As ordered, the remaining disciples were residing in Jerusalem. This time will remembered in our most common history as Pentecost or 50th day after our Lord Jesus resurrection from the day. According to Acts Chapter 2 written by Luke, before 64AD. After the Lord Holy Spirit had the people speak in other languages. The now Apostle Peter spoke to the crowd for awhile. After it ended 3000 men came to know the Lord that day.

The ability to speak, think and write
By Gman4326
Moses wrote this in Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
GOD gave every man the ability to speak, think and write. By the mean of inspiration. In order to give Adam a helpmate. God inspired man to speak the names of every animal found in the garden of Eden. Genesis 2:19
This inspiration is not limited to Moral teaching but General Studies all together.
Ethics and Training up Kids is a simplistic form of General Studies. A full list of General Studies includes are Math, Civil and Christian History, Liberal Arts and even English studies.
Also gentle reader the bible only knows Hebrew and the Greek as the original languages. Thanks be to God that the modern translations are word for word of the ancient tongues. English and Hebrew poetry are fundamentally different. This does not mean we can't learn from the Hebrew system. But it would be wrong of me to not say otherwise.
What of your previous blogposts? The previous blog entries are meant to say that since God allowed the ancient covenantal church to use such things. We can do so likewise.
Are we permitted to use such language in development of storylines?
By Gman4326
In God use of Symbolism every ancient prophet and Christ Jesus as the greatest and final OT Prophet. Used the third person language to bring judgment on either kings or the levitical priesthood. One such example as when David had Uriah murdered on the battlefield in order to prevent him from being accused of adultery. Nathan in 2 samuel 12:1-6 entered the kingdom hall and told him this. And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. Then pointing at David said thus: 8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 9 Since you despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
Secondly even if it was rant on modern Hollywood storytelling. The fact still remain. Using the poetry form of our modern language. Is an insult in the development of good storytelling.
Since it is found in the Scriptures and both God and the Father as well as Jesus Christ the second person of the trinity have used this language style. We can as well.

What worldview can give you and me the best form of entertainment?
By Gman4326
This worldview must have a deep understanding of man's nature. A deep grasp where knowledge comes from. This worldview does not need appeal to man's nature either. This worldview can and should be the source of where other cultures borrow from. This worldview is called Reform Christianity. Whereas the Japanese Horror Genre pride itself in free will. Calvinism teaches about man's inability to rescue himself from Adam or Eve Curse. And GOD said, unto the woman; I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Genesis 3:16-19 KJV
The first murder recorded in human history Is found in Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Man's empty boasting Genesis 4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Idolatry Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Sodomy Genesis 19:24-25 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Liar Genesis 20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Adultery 2 Samuel 11:1-4 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
Self-knowledge is the process of learning at a young age. Then applying this knowledge to every aspect of one's life. This is what i mean when it come to appealing to man's nature. It is not just our will is fallen it is also our knowledge as well.
In conclusion since it is God who created man. Established the Cultural Mandate, system of worship and the office of civil magistrate. Genesis 1:27-31; Genesis 3:21; Genesis 9:6 and Deut. 17:14-16. It is Christanity that can develop the best form of entertainment.

Birth of Jesus Christ the True and Only Savior of the World
A Readers Primer
Birth of Jesus Christ the True and Only Savior of the World
Luke 2:1-20 KJV
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

So why start off with the Greek Seputagint?
So why start off with the Greek Septuagint?
Before Christianity existed as a system of worship. There were many Greek speaking Jews. Who wanted a Greek translation of the Tanakh. What we know as the Old Testament! The very fact a letter from a pagan king was delivered to the Levitical priest of that day. Asking for a translation, showed how serious the Greek speaking Jews wanted to read the Word of God. I also made it clear at least one well known Hebrew speaking Jew. Thought having translation written in any other language other than the original. Was considered heretical in the first century. God chose the Koine Greek and the Apostles as well Mark and Luke. Wrote the New Testament in the dominate language of the day. Means it was God-Breathed. Secondly, the canon list named the New Testament was argued and debated over time rather than instantly accepted as some could assume in our day. The bible many persecuted and non persecuted Christians accepted was the Septuagint. So starting off with it made sense too me. This concludes why I'm starting off the Greek Scriptures.

Gman4326 Biblical History Chapter 1
By Gman4326
Chapter 1 The Greek Scriptures 3 century BC
Beginning in the fourth century B.C the two dominate, and one minor dialects of the Aegean region became one. This was done under the rule of the son of king Philip. Philip was born in 382 BC and was assassinated in 336 BC. Since unification of what is now called Koine Greek. When he conquered a nation or tribe the people would learn the language as well. Born in 356 BC, Alexander the Great would conquer much of the known world. From Athens to modern day Iran before dying in 323 BC at the age of 33. After his death the empire would be divided by three sections. According to Josephus in his dissertation on the History of Hebrew text found in Herod's temple. Who by the way, had no love of any translation other than the original text re-copied. On a similar note Edersheim in the book entitled "life and times of Jesus Christ". He in chapter 2 found on page 17 in detail, that Queen Cleopatra ancestor sent a letter to them. Her ancestor's name was Ptolemy the second born in 309 died 246BC. His reign was from 285-246 BC. Ptolemy had asked High Priest Eleazar who ruled over the grand council in Jerusalem to create a Hellenistic version of the book of the law, prophets and writings. So the Jews could then either read or make a copy, spoken by many living there in Egypt. Seventy scholars went into caves to do what was asked of them. This text would be called the Greek Septuagint.
David vs Goliath
A Readers Primer
David vs Goliath (KJV) 1 Samuel 17:39-50
And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

Daniel in the Lions Den
From the King James Version
A Readers Primer
Daniel in the Lions Den
From Daniel 6:16-23
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver you. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve on an ongoing basis, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

Civil Magistrate and the Gospel
By Gman4326
There were once was an evangelist who was arrested. For preaching the Gospel without a permit.
What is on the docket today asks the magistrate of his secretary? Local officials arrested an evangelist. As they are unable try him on these charges. They handed him over to me instead the magistrate interrupting the secretary answer. Cough as if clearing his throat. The evangelist was preaching the gospel answering the magistrate question in a flippant tone of voice. Local officials want to put him death don't they, say the Civil Magistrate while shaking his back and forth, ever so slightly. Yes my Magistrate, say the secretary. GUARDS, bring the accused in, shouts the magistrate.
Both the guards and the evangelist walk in confidence towards the magistrate seat. Why so confident in both the step and mannerism, asks the secretary? Evangelist gives no response to the secretaries question. I see, the secretary brings up a good question. My lord, you have the right to have me either flogged or put to death. Since i'm before you. I want you to hear my testimony. So you too will repent and believe, answers the evangelist in a caring tone of voice. What is the Truth, asks the Magistrate? I passed down to you what I was told. Jesus of nazareth was arrested, tried and convicted for the crime of being the King of the Jews before Caphias and Pilate. As it was the Custom of the Jews during the passover to free a person accused of a capital crime. This year CHRIST and Barabbas were on the platform. The audience chose Barabbas over Jesus. Flogged and a crown of thorns placed over His head by the roman guards. Ordered to carry a cross section of cedar over the shoulder. Jesus walked as far as He could. A man named Joseph carried the cross to skull hill. Where He was crucified. On Sunday morning Peter went to the Good Shepherd burial site. Where the stone was rolled away. Looking inside and the clothes folded neatly on the stone surface. After telling the disciples who did not betray the Master what had occurred. Suddenly someone was knocking on the door. Weeping for joy the Master they knew was in front of them. Before the forty days were up some 500 eyewitness saw Him alive as well. On that day in Galilee the Lord ascended to heaven. That ends my testimony, answers the Evangelist. Good to know. Please wait over there. What should i do with him asks the magistrate of the secretary in soft but firm tone? In order to keep peace with the natives he must be flogged, answers the secretary in an equally soft tone. The magistrate waves the guards and evangelist over. In order to keep peace with the locals. I must have you flogged. The sentence is that you must receive 10 lashes on the back and have water poured over your back afterwards. Guards take him to be flogged, magistrate say to them.
Epilouge: After the evangelist was flogged. He left the country to preach elsewhere. There was a rebellion in the area by the local officials. Against the magistrate for not putting the evangelist to death. After the king hearing about this plot against him. Quelled the rebellion and put all to death. The magistrate was later exiled for not doing his job correctly. The End!

Birthplace of Humanity
Fertile Crescent birthplace of Humanity
By Gman4326
As it is written in Sacred Scriptures. After God created the heavens and the earth. He made Humanity in his own image. Establishing the family unit. Which is one Husband and one Wife. Who are then able to have children. The place GOD chose to build the garden was in the area around tigris and euphrates rivers. After the fall humanity became farmers or raised domesticated animals. Building of towns east of eden came later. After the flood the sons of noah continued to live in the fertile crescent. Only after the tower babel incident did humanity began to spread out from there.
In conclusion humanity did not come from africa or england but from the fertile crescent.

God use of symbolism and parables
By Gman4326
There is something I’ve wanted to write for a few years now. The use of symbolism and parable found in both the old and new Testament. When I was growing up and going to the different denominations therein. These were moral stories told by the second person of the Trinity manifested in human flesh. Did not mention or say who the original audience was. If they even understood what he saying at all. I was taught both in public and on the church side; what to think, and not how to think. The people in his day no longer wanted to hear the truth Isaiah 6:10 “Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.” (biblehub) The Lord himself was speaking as a prophet to the people He had chosen before anyone of us were born. God had chosen this method as means of punishment before the new covenant was formed in Christ blood and resurrection as the prophet Jeremiah had said centuries earlier. When a society no longer wishes to hear the truth storytelling is the only option left open to them. The only choice then is to repent or be destroyed from within. I know this not an easy thing to say. But it has to be done and that is all.

History of Free Speech
How did we get the ability to freely speak from?
By Gman4326
Dr. Martin Luther later to be called a reformer. Was called into a session called the Diet in the city of Worms in Germany. Then called the Holy Roman Empire. Dr. Luther had thought he was there in order debate in front of the Diet. But instead he was there to defend himself. At the end he would not recant and here in the US we benefit from it.

The use of third person in storytelling
The use of third person in storytelling.
By Gman4326
Writers in the past have used ink and pad what is on their minds. J.R.R was a devout Catholic and wrote his Hobbit and the the Lord of the rings trilogy with that in mind. I personally had written "Grudge" and Sarcastic short story that way as well. Grudge was about something which occured in my life. Sarcastic short story was about how Fan service is used in anime, manga and in light novels in order get people interested in buying (mainly a 18-36 male demographic) to purchase said items. Panty shots, harem, waifu, swimsuit chapters or episodes, a person saying pervert, and girls taking showers are consider fan service.
In conclusion the use of third person in storytelling is an effective tool communication if understood by both the Reader and the writer.

!Ding Dong!
Say sensei is their going to be a new transfer student coming in today? What is a sensei? Wait a minute you mean me. I'm not a sensei whatever that means. To answer you question, their is no transfer student coming in today.

Wait a minute there is no girls waiting for me outside the school doors.

Pardon me but the story has not ended yet.
Okay fi..ne!
I'm home from school.

Mom it sucked big time. There was no hot transfer student nor a harem of girls waiting for me after class. Russell, I hope you were not waiting for a Japanese style trope here in the United States. After all in the real world. God will bless you with a wife not multiple women that will land you jail one day. Now eat up before the food get cold.
