Hi, I am a Christian who likes writing stories for fun and I wanted to write a story about a universe where people have superpowers, but instead of them being superheros, they’re just regular civilians (who have superpowers) They use their superpowers in everyday lives. All the people have 20 superpowers each. The problem is if its ok to want one of my characters to have the power of Precognition. Let’s call this character Nicolás. A link for more info. Precognition | Superpower Wiki | Fandom. I just wanna make sure, is this OK? I wanna know if future vison equal being psychic or a medium? He doesn’t call on spirits or speak to the dead, or cast spells. There’s no enchanments or witches or wizards in the story . Nicolás’s precogntion happens at random times. I was thinking about writing a scene where the charcters are in cooking class and Nicolás’s precognition kicks in and he tells his classmate not crack open a egg because he knows it bad. Like I said before does precognition equal being pyschic because if it is I should swap out the precognition with something else.
It’s fiction. I see no issue at all.
It’s like prophesy…kinda but not really.
As @Historyprof said, it’s fiction.
i think it sounds amazing! i think the church is often in denial about reality of what is and isnt and what is sinful. these abilities exist and Christ, Moses and other Gods children have shown us examples of using them. Christ said we (His people) would do everything He did and more! a lot of the christian sects seem to demonize spiritual gifts at all which is very sad but dont let it stop you from being your true self in the Lord!
how is your story going? I have 3 books published so far.
Hi,
Question: If everyone has these 20 powers, doesn’t that negate the specialness of the powers?
If everyone has Superman’s abilities, Superman becomes normal man.
Does Superman have 20 superpowers?
Every superhero has a weakness.
What would be Precognition Man’s?
Blessings
Do you really want to be a part of a religion or organization where you have to constantly question if something is ok to think, say, or do?
Is the fear so great that you can’t take a guess and be okay with being wrong?
When I was young, I loved coming up with story ideas. I also had to ask if it was Christian to write something. If God was going to be mad at me.
I also use to pray for forgiveness until I cried. It had to hurt. If I didn’t feel remorse, if I did not agonize in my repentence, how could God ever forgive me? I felt like God’s wrath hovered over me.
I use to torture myself until I felt some degree of relief inside me. I had this misguided notion that my inner world, what I felt inside, had anything to do with God or the Holy Spirit. Like the Holy Spirit was angry with me.
I actually suffered from OCD brought on by years of stress in my childhood.
My point is, examine the need to control things, or to be controlled. There may be a deeper need behind it that deserves to be brought to light and healed.
And know that God loves you, no matter what.
