Bleach and Bible

I have said before that I believe in the Resurrection of Jesus and that I am a Christian by practice.  But recently I have been watching Bleach, and I find parallels between the Bible and Bleach.
One that I find interesting is that they use named swords called zanpakuto.  Each zanpakuto can be talked to and have their own "soul" that can be manifested into a physical form in the real world.  This I find interesting.  The Word is often referred to as The Sword of The Spirit for spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:17, Heb. 4:12).  The more Word you know, the bigger your sword.  My teacher who told me this gave me this analogy:
   Imagine a butter knife and a cleaver.  Both represent the amount of Word that you know.  Say you have all of your armor on, but what is the thing about it?  It is all defensive.  The Word is your only offensive weapon against Satan.  Now, if your going to go into battle and your sword is like the butter knife, how long do you think you will last?  Yeah sure you have the Shield of Faith, but how are you going to fight back with a butter knife?  So, if you go into battle with a sword like a cleaver, then you can cut down the enemy no problem.
Also knowing the names of Jehovah when you pray is helpful as well so you can ask specific questions and let Him know what you want.  If you pray the Word, Jehovah cannot help but listen to you.
   Now, with a zanpakuto, part of aforementioned analogy applies as well.  If you do not know the name of your sword, then your power is diminished as stated in episode 39. Also working together with your zanpakto is just as important.  Knowing the names of your attacks that you learned from your sword is important as well, as Ichigo's Zangetsu pointed out in episode 55.  It rings like The Word to me, however, I highly doubt that the writer did not intend for this.

   Another thing that is more obvious is the reference to a heaven, hell, and a King.  This is pretty self-explanatory, but a lot of religions mention this.  However, you never see the King and his higher court (my words,  not authors).  That is something that no other religion has.  In Christianity, no one can see the Father, but we can see Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  I must testify that I have seen the Holy Spirit in different forms, and I have also seen demons in their various forms.  However, the gift to discern these things not everyone has.  That is a prophetic gift.
I'm sorry, I digressed.
I will have to continue in the next post.  If there are any points that you would like for me to discuss, let me know in the comments below.
