Realizing Mistakes~
"When a person who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, they will either quit being mistaken or cease being honest".
~Richard Humpal, J.D.
In the past in the field of filming for movies, or video recording for TV, a director calling 'action' indicated that the cameras are 'rolling'. This means that roll of film (in various sizes for different uses) is actually passing through the exposure 'gate' of a film camera, where and image is exposed using a specific 'frame rate' that is calculated in FPS, or frames per second. When played back in a projector this frame rate gives the illuson of motion; and this is where the term 'motion pictures' came from. In today's modern digital world 'frame rate' is still used as a means of standardizing the look of the 'action' that is taking place on the sceen. When the director calls 'CUT', it means that the 'TAKE' has been completed. When there has been a fault detected during the 'playback' (either right away for digital video, or in viewing the 'rushes' in film the next day ('Rushes' indicates film developed overnight for viewing the next day) this is called a Missed Take. When this happens, either for and acting or technical error, the Director calls for a Re-take.
When an actor makes a mistake it is right there for everyone to see, and they readily acknowledge their mistakes and try get it right in the next take.
In real life humans are not actors, and unlike actors we don't often get to do a 'retake' when we make a mistake. What we must do is to acknowlege our mistakes, and make every effort to not make those same errors again. Yet the Christian identity says that our mistakes don't matter because God has forgiven our mistakes even before we make them. Jesus never taught this concept.
