« on: September 17, 2017, 12:45:43 PM »I'm well aware that it's in the Bible of this world, maGoh12; I was simply trying to point out that it might be one of the things that are different between TWG of the Dresden Files and the Christian God that real life people believe in. That's why I referred to the "Dresden Bible" - the Bible within the Dresdenverse.
There's already some evidence that these things don't match up. Thomas paraphrases it in Blood Rites:That bolded part is nowhere within the actual Bible; it talks about prophecies and tongues and wisdom ceasing, but not about apocalypse. So either the Dresdenverse's Bible has a reference to Empty Night right in one of its most poetic passages, or Thomas somehow mis-remembered something that his father drilled into all of their children.
And my plain point was that compromising mortal choice just is completely opposite of what TWG in the Dresden Files stands for. So either the Bibles are different, or it's like Hades and Persephone, in which it's all just a bunch of propoganda. Arguments against TWG's "hardening of Pharaoh's heart" are out of character and just don't hold weight in that reality; they only serve if you're trying to poke at real-world religion. Which is, of course, against the rules.
I misinterpreted, in a rather dumb fashion, what you meant when you said that was an area the Dresden-Bible is different from our Bible. My apologies.
In my defense, I did clearly started that I was only talking about Dresden-verse theology, not real world, with that comment. I wouldn't ever insult Christianity, and I try really hard to never insult other religions either.
You are correct, affecting free will would be highly out of character for TWG as we know him in the Dresden Files.
