I’m not familiar with Catholicism, but the Protestant world view is not too orthodox: God is higher than Satan, this bet is a bit ridiculous... and the film is always facing Mamen and Christ, which always makes people feel like good. The world view of evil dualism...Dualism has become Gnosticism. This is one of the earliest and greatest heretics...
Anyway, although the dualistic world view of good and evil is not orthodox, it is fun and easy to make up stories. So Diablo's dualism is more thorough and naked. It can be seen that heresy is also based on the masses...
and then classmate Gabriel (why is it a woman?) Gabriel originally meant "My lord is God". He was an angel who announced the good news and prophesied the birth of Christ to mankind, but now he comes to help. Mammon was born, a big irony... (Some people say that Gabriel was promoted after the suppression of Satan. I don’t know where it came from. The angel of suppression is Michael... I hope to teach you.) In addition, the Jewish tradition believes that Gabriel is also an official. Be the angel of death.
In the final analysis, Gabriel's theological discussion is jealous of God's grace, which is similar to the Jews when Jesus was born. The Jews (especially the Pharisees) believed that they were justified because they obeyed the law of Moses to do good deeds, but God believed that no one could fully obey the law in his life (the law of Moses is no less harsh than that of Islam today). ), even if you really obey it completely, what do you do with the original sin... So the key to "justification by faith" is the grace of faith (one of the two points emphasized by Gabriel, the other is sacrifice), which is Christ shed blood for us and made atonement for us. But Gabriel felt that this was too cheap for mankind, so he ran down to let mankind sacrifice more, partly for the same reason the Jews sent Christ to the cross...
Speaking of Christ, the spear of fate (generally called Holy lance, there are several in churches now, I don’t know which one is true) can be found in John 19:34. It turns out that the soldiers died after Christ died. A shot was taken and blood was shed. According to some traditions, this person is a centurion named Longinus, so some subtitles are translated as "Longinus Long Spear". The sayings in the movie should also be popular culture... After all, there is a weapon that once killed the flesh of God, which can write many stories...
The antichrist is generally antichrist, this time the son of Satan was moved out. It is not "sin" or "death". There is Mammon, which is strange... Mammon originally represents wealth, as seen in Luke 16:13, "You can't serve God and Mammon." But there are also traditions. Think Mammon is a big devil, such as Beelzebub (Balthazar may come from this name). Or the director just wants to imply capitalist money worship?
Other small allusions: When
the guy who picked up the spear of destiny went to hijack the car, there was a huge slogan on the back that said "got faith?", and the tap on the right was pouring out wine: The first miracle performed after Christ came to the world is Water turns into wine.
The Catholic view on suicide is clear enough in the movie... So the Catholic Church opposes abortion, euthanasia, and so on....
