If you have not realize it by now we are all living in the matrix system. Let me explain; the world is round, the one who created it lives outside of it. He put us in time while he lives outside of it. So you may ask yourselves what the point of all this. It's simple, he wants to be worship and be called a GOD. I give him that after sitting and meditating on it for what seemed like eternity, he finally got it in one try as far as we know. Now don't try to escape this fact. You either worship him or go to hell. It seems that way. THEN think about this FREEWILL and LOVE. The best things he can ever give us. What are going to do with your freewill and love? Use it for yourself now that you know you're not free because you are part of this matrix system called the world. YOU can try to escape it by killing yourself, but you will just end up in another matrix system he gave to the devil. OR you can sit back meditate on this for a while and go ask for repentance. THIS HITS ME AFTER STUDYING THE TRIBULATION AND RAPTURE WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

We are not existing in a computer simulation in our minds while our physical bodies are drained like batteries. We are not living in a matrix system. We live in a world created, not by other computers, generating programs but we live in the real world. One in which God created. Earth, Heaven, Hell, real places.
And, actually, in the Matrix, there was no single, all powerful entity. It was more akin to the new age concept that 'god' is a non-personal being that affects us and our reality. And if we summon the power within us we can alter this god reality.
So i'm not going to be able to go along with a parallel of God and His creations and a new age oriented fiction movie that makes mankind batteries and living in a false reality in their minds.

2nicee, The Matrix was a very well devised movie that gave a different perspective on many things. Sometimes we can speak about things using parables or metaphors. I mean, who knows what the spiritual world 'out there' or 'within' is like? Many claim it is like this or that, but they haven't actually been there.

BTW Ugly, there was a single powerful entity which appeared in the 3rd Matrix movie. Neo (the one) had to sacrifice himself to the entity, so that the humans and machines could live in peace (or something like that). It had a lot of spiritual undertones. I'm open-minded to all the different creative thoughts out there.

I don't really believe in the locked-in belief systems of people, which often comes from an organisation of religion, it does not come from the bible. When people act this way it is because teachers have made them that way, even if it is just their parents.

The bible is a guide, to me. And Jesus is bigger than the bible, because Jesus is the way.

I can read a book on how to cook a good steak, but unless I actually buy a steak and try and cook it, that book isn't going to do much for me, only guide me to that point of being a good cook.

Maybe the Matrix stands for the network of man called Satan, that turns people into batteries, sucks the life out of them, their money, their creativity, their love, especially their love, especially, their love.

Luke 17:20-21 (KJV)

20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

If one has not experienced the Holy Spirit, how can you even know you are one of His?

I have watched all 3 and enjoyed watching them.

Neo has to make a choice, the red or blue bill.

Neo chooses the red pill, deciding that there must be something different, more real and true to what he has now.

He takes a step of faith.

one line that is quiet profound is when Morpheus says to Neo

"there is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path, knowing it is not enough you must apply it"

When the Holy Spirit revealed Jesus to we had the choice, do we take the blue pill and reject him or take the red pill and take that leap of faith.

Taling the blue pill is knowing the path but not walking it, taking the red pill is knowing the path and walking it.

Jesus is the red pill

John 14:6


Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
