I mean that not only in terms of outright awesomeness, but also theologically.

Looking glass: pretty sure it’s Macross. That was my first thought, but my only exposure was the botched “Robotech” version as a kid.

The only issue with these analogies is that, unless you’re a Romanist, or some other Exclusivist (such as the ‘Witnesses’), the body does not feel very whole.

I don’t know my mechas that well: my sons do. And the idea of Jesus is my mechapilot as a bumper sticker made me smile.

But it is a metaphor, like hobbes’ ideas

]]> By: A more relevant image for today is a Mecha. a transformer, a machine controlled by the man within but made very large, to do very large things. | vulture of critique https://pukeko.net.nz/blog/2015/05/a-mecha-to-make-us-mature-eph-4/comment-page-1/#comment-5456 Sat, 30 May 2015 23:49:33 +0000 https://pukeko.net.nz/blog/?p=6611#comment-5456 […] https://pukeko.net.nz/blog/2015/05/a-mecha-to-make-us-mature-eph-4/ […]

In fact, I spent a year worshipping with Presleyites. Nice folks, notwithstanding some misgivings with their theology and lifestyle.
