![]() Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darō ka IV: Fuka Shō - Yakusai-hen.Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro Season 2.Cardfight!! Vanguard: will+Dress Season 2.From the underhanded plots of corrupt businessmen to stiff competition in the form of his rival, Racer X, Gou faces many obstacles on the road ahead, and has a lot to prove before he can cross the finish line. However, Gou soon learns that becoming a professional racer is not easy. Undeterred, his girlfriend Michi, younger brother Kurio, and Kurio's monkey sidekick Sanpei become Gou's biggest fans as he sets out to become the greatest racer of all time. In spite of this, Gou's father and the creator of the Mach 5, Daisuke Mifune, does not want his son anywhere near a racetrack. The driver of this amazing vehicle is Gou Mifune, a teenager who dreams of breaking into the world of professional racing. Equipped with various gadgets and a powerful engine, it provides a challenge for anyone who would dare race against it. Read more here (2-part blog post, “Transgender God”).The Mach 5 is one of the fastest and most technologically advanced race cars built by man. This is evidenced clearly in the Bible and blatantly through the human race. *I use He/His as pronouns for God, but fully recognize God with male and female ‘identity,’ for lack of a better word. Stay tuned for Part 2 with Racer X’s insights for life with passion and purpose. When you watch the film thinking about Racer X like Jesus, it makes the counsel and encouragements he shares with Speed more powerful. The end result was total self-sacrifice for the benefit of his family (you, me and every other creature on the planet). Jesus thinks of us all as his brethren ( Matthew 25:40), and as the loving, “older” brother, the so-called ‘ first born,‘ we see him working behind the scenes, like Racer X, on our behalf–first in the Old Testament and more blatantly in the New. Speed loses his big brother, hero and friend. Possibly confined by his bad reputation, or aware that his fight would jeopardize his family, Rex fakes his death and sacrificed his very “self,” getting facial surgery to wipe all traces of Rex Racer. So another solution was needed ( enter Jesus)… Love by it’s very nature requires Freedom– birds are not built for cages. And that can’t fly since God is Love ( 1 John 4:16). We would simply be slaves controlled by a Master, no Love required. Sure, God could grab our hand or hold our tongue everytime we were going to blow it, and the world would be a “better” place for it, but the world would also be Fake. Suffering at a sweatshop in Bangladesh, producing clothes probably for many brand labels at many places we shop. But that misses our God-given Freedom to totally wreck and destroy everything– from hearts, bodies, and spirits of fellow man, woman, and child, to all creation, from the smallest bee to the largest ice sheet. And some think the state of the world is proof God doesn’t exist. It can be hard ( excruciating) to have faith in the idea of a good God amidst all the pain, suffering, and flat-out horror we see and/or experience. “.(Speed), one day people might say things about me… but no matter what they say, I hope you never believe them…. But the night he first leaves the Racer home, he forewarns his little brother: Rex gains a rep for being a dirty driver, even going on trial for it, and the family can barely watch the races. If we believe the gospel (literally “good news”) we believe God was willing to trade heavenly glory and pain-free living to get in the dirt of our humanity, even to hell itself, to show Love’s depth and throw us all a lifeline.īut how can we believe in a “Good God” in a Bad World? It smacked of Jesus and a misunderstood God. But the truth was that he was turning his back on all he knew and loved to go into the heart of the corrupt racing system and fight it from the inside out. ![]() Rex walked out on his family to race in black-market circuits and everyone thought it was for money.
