You know I found this thing sitting in my draft and I was like "why? It's already 'made perfect' in Christ..." It doesn't have to be "CERTIFIED" and "E-TESTED"... it's already perfect "as is"...
LOL... I recently took a few hours off cramming for exams to catch the Dragon Ball movie because I was a big fan of that show even through highschool even though some of my non-asian friends thought it was a bit kiddish to still watch Cartoons when you're in your late teens not fully understanding the level of maturity of some Japanese Anime... yes, it's true... Sailor Moon (not that I've seen the rated X/R version) but I heard, that it WAS in fact a Porno, just not the version you see over here in North America, but you can probably guess which part of that anime showed the most nudity in the original nonetheless LOL... "super" indeed... :P If you did not watch the original anime, you may not like this movie so much. I found it was a bit overly hyped like The Dark Knight. Overall it was better than some of the other recent movies that were pretty garbage but one of the main factors I liked about it were the surprise TWISTS in the story line that were different from the anime making it amusing for me. So again, if you don't know the original, you might not like this one.
Most of the other people watching weren't exactly KIDS either... doubt it... didn't really pay attention, I like to keep to myself when I'm "ENJOYING WHAT I HAVE LEFT OF THE SINGLE/BACHELOR LIFE" in my few hours of HIDING from all responsibility LOL...
I closed my MSN in haste so now I have nothing to work from, ah well, all the better to kill my insomia I suppose, would like to maybe do some more cramming for exams, but a hot shower might help more with the inability to sleep perhaps...
ANYHOW ANYTHING BEYOND THIS POINT CONTAINS SPOILERS...
I don't pertain to be an expert in Mandarin or anything, but it certainely was not Cantonese or wait... hmm maybe I don't know that word in Cantonese actually haha... but anyhow in the movie it was a bit confusing they used a word sounding like "key" to refer to internal energy they were channeling to do their special moves. In other English revisions of a similiar concept, most people would expect this to be refered to as "chi".
Anyhow let's look at this "key" thing for a second. Recently I was reusing an analogy from EE training that illustrates sometimes we may not be right with God even though we can be "right about God". The basic idea is the only way to salvation and everlasting life in heaven is "trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life" as stated:
Christ Took Our Punishment
21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses[a] and the prophets long ago. 22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
[Romans 3:21-24]
There are two ways of getting the salvation concept wrong with are not enough in themselves to get you into heaven:
1) Mere Head Knowledge i.e. I know God exists and he is Jesus Christ (but yet the person does not have anything to actually do with a relational or experiential connection with Jesus)
2) Mere temporal Faith i.e. Praying to God for his help in a particular situation
Thank you for reading, here is the correct "key" to empowering yourself and being accepted as a child of God:
3) Trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life:
5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.[a] 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.”
[Titus 3:5-7]
Ephesians 2:8-9 (English Standard Version)
8For(A) by grace you have been saved(B) through faith. And this is(C) not your own doing;(D) it is the gift of God, 9(E) not a result of works,(F) so that no one may boast.
