Personal Identity
In the Gattaca presentation it was preposed that the two main characters initialy had seperate identities but through events formed a new identity that included both of them. I was thinking that the same kind of thing happens to people when they accept Christ and are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has it own identity and the person has there own identity. When they are filled with the Spirit do they not form a new identity. Romans 5-9 leads me to think that this new identity is one identity but at the same time seperate minds. I say this because of the conflict within Paul in these chapters. The goal may be to make the two identities one.
What do you think? Is there a relation or am I of my rocker? Gattaca is a sweet movie!

Another connection that your post made me think of then is the union of the two people who get married. Is that the same kind of thing or something different? I think it's an insightful connection, but I'm not sure that I can vouch for my own sanity, so...take it for what it's worth.
