Movie: Brothers

I just finished this movie. Sometimes I watch movies later than other people. But the last line of this movie has the guy saying "I don't know who said, 'Only the dead have seen the end of war,' I have seen the end of war. The question is, can I live again?" This man has went to the edge and is now attempting to come back.

I have not fought in war. I have not given my life for another. I have not died so someone else can live. Nor have I killed anyone. And those who do face something I can not fully understand. But confession of our sins and those things which trouble our consciences can bring peace.

This man at the end of the movie finally gets off his chest that which truly troubles his conscience. He confesses to his wife what he has done. I am not going to say he was condemned before for what he had done but he was condemning himself. Here is were I can meet this man. We all have demons in our past which we need to get off our chest. Once we confess what we have done, then forgiveness is given to us through the blood of Christ.

Only the dead have seen the end of War, because those of us who are still alive continue to fight with our sinful flesh. This movie really got me to think about the release we can feel once we confess our sins or the truth. Only then can we face the real problem and overcome it.

This is why confession is one of the greatest gifts God gave to his people. We confess our sins and are brought to death. But we receive forgiveness of our sins from our confessor and are given life. Can we truly live again? Christ died and rose again so that you may not die eternally and even if you do die yet shall you live in Christ Jesus Forever. 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...
