So I'd just like to open up a discussion thread concerning this topic because it is such an amazingly easy way to bring up discussion with others in this game concerning faith.
In Game:
-The Force is always present, empowering us to do superhuman things as it dwells in us. It also seems to have a will of its own that it constantly works to impress upon the universe.
-As you become more attuned to the force you grow in your power and ability to use it.
-As you understand more and more the idea of the force's unlimited boundaries and powers, the more capable you become in wielding it.
-There are also two opposing sides to the force. (not to say the Holy Spirit has two sides, but to say that there is a spiritual battle between Good and Evil)
In Real Life:
-The Holy Spirit is always present, empowering and enabling us to do miraculous things according to God's purpose as it dwells in us.
-As you grow in your relationship with Christ, the more in tune you are to the Holy Spirit and its call. You become more willing and able to submit to Christ, and surrendering your life to Him.
-The more aware you become of God's limitless power and holiness, you enter into more genuine and powerful worship. You are less afraid of the world, as you have been released from it's chains and have been granted power over death itself.
-The enemy (Satan) fights to work against God. He wants you to give into to your passions and desires (darkside anyone?). To indulge yourself in the world, and fuel your life with selfish ambition.
So, how easy is it to simply say in a group...
"So The Force is supposed to be all around us, and giving us power to do cool stuff. Do you guys think there's anything in real life like that?"
I'll try to pull in some scripture later, otherwise I really don't have much of a foundation to make any of these parallels.
