No weapon that is Formed against us.

I have this theory about Beowulf. on 54pg. line #1020 there is a interesting statement made about the gifts that the Danes give Beowulf for slaying Grendel. They give him: a breast -mail, a helmet and a sword. in the bible in Galatians is talks about the full armor of God. three of the pieces of armor are: the breast plate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit. So my theory is, that Beowulf is a parallel of the bible. I think that a missionary went to then Scandinavia where the greats and the Danes lived and made up this story to explain to the native people about Christ. like so many missionary's do they find out about the culture and then relate to them in their own culture and telling them a story about mystical creatures but also including the underlined biblical tone the author could relate to the people on their own terms that is why Beowulf has so many biblical references. The character Beowulf himself is almost like a Christ. He comes from a distant land where is is a noble of sorts to defend people that he doesn't even know from something that they themselves, in themselves, can't protect themselves from. Like, without Jesus we can't have eternal life because we in ourselves are not righteous enough to satisfy Gods wrath against the human race. Grendel is like Satan. Jesus comes and fights him not with weapons of this world because they don't work but with his own hands he defeats the demon. Jesus was pierced for our transgressions in his hands. This story is just getting better and better.
