Movie: Book of Eli

This was an interesting movie. If you have not seen the movie it was good. The action sequences gave you a thrill from time to time. There were twists and turns in the plot. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone.

If you have seen this movie, continue. I have a couple of problems with the movie. First, what is he listening to? He has this thing that resembles an ipod but they never tell you what he is listening to (unless I missed it). It is not just to amplify his hearing because he takes it off to talk to people. It has a battery that drains because he needs to recharge it.

Second, if you haven't seen the movie this gives too much away so stop reading. The Book is too thin. The book is about the same thickness as the one which is put on the shelf. I have always been a proponent of a President getting sworn in on a Brail Bible but it is because the entire bible would sit like a podium in front of him. I worked with some people making brail bibles, they printed just one book of the Bible and it was as thick as my The Lutheran Study Bible. Therefore, he most likely was only reading one book of the Bible not the entire thing.

But it is also interesting to see the sacrifice, then to be able to recount the entire bible. Even the Title of the Movie is interesting. Book of "my God" is the title to the movie. Eli helps to show an example of someone who is blessed or protected by God. But it is not until the end where he starts to follow the principles of Christ. He finally even with the Bible memorized starts to reflect that love toward others.

I would hope that all people would pour themselves into scripture like this. I wish I personally could pour myself into scripture like this. But I would also encourage you to go to Faith Comes by Hearing, not a ministry for the Blind but for all of us to hear the word of God read. I have always enjoyed having the Bible on my ipod. All in all an excellent movie. On last thing to see that this New King James version of the bible is placed along side the Tanak, Torah, and Koran. This book has caused Kingdoms to rise and fall. There is power in the Word of God, but there is also great power in just a simple prayer. Thank you.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

The Death of the Holy Innocents

Many people die for what they believe in. Some die for righteous people. But these chosen few die on behalf of the one who will save us all. These children have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. But these children die on account of the Christ Child. Many people have been martyred because they confessed the faith. These children did not stand or even get a chance to stand. They were cut down because they were seen as the threat to King Herod. Rachael mourns for her children. Rachael died giving life to Benjamin near Bethlehem. Rachael now weeps as all the children of this town are slaughtered. But just as Rachael died giving birth to life. These children die to protect the Christ Child who left the town and will die to give all of us life. St Peter once said that he would not allow Christ to go to the cross. St Peter drew his sword in the garden to die for Christ. But only these Children truly give their life for Jesus Christ to live. Their sacrifice should b...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
