Well not New-New, more like late 90's new.
One of you (I don't remember who it was) said something about The Matrix in one of your arguements. which did get me thinking.
God (traditional sterotype aside) is by defination is a transdimensional being. and if He is able to offer an eternity with Him or an eternity in Hell (which either way is still another realm) then that means we (or at least apart of us) are transdimensional beings as well. So the question would then become what is this reality? This for the lack of a better term, This 'reality' then becomes "the matrix." It is reality apart from the automatic known glory of God. When have been placed in the matrix to make a choice, and to gain experience. Maybe the part of us that is to be judge (our soul) is not apart of this body at all. Maybe our soul is plugged into some 'supercomputer' or the heavenly equivalent, and we are linked to these bodies. The bible does seperate our being into Body, Mind/Spirit, and Soul. Paul makes an excellent arguement in romans 7 about this if anyone is intrested.
The key difference between the movie version of the matrix and the one we live in is that death here does not result in death in the "real world." When one dies here, we simply wake up in the real world.(Absent from the body present with the Lord.) We wake up to eternity and the choice we made here. God simply holds us accountable to the choice we made.
Why is any of this important? I give us proper perspective. Life, death, pain, happiness, all of it in this life is really meaningless when view from an eternal perspective. So when someone asks why did God allow that child to die or how can a loving God command the death of women and children?? What are they really asking? How can God wake that person from the Matrix sooner than the rest of us? Why do we have to suffer here for 70, 80 or 90 years when that person get to wake to reality only after 9 or 10? Why wouldn't God make that person suffer a life time as I want and wish to suffer for a long life?
If you remember the matrix was a prision, not saying there aren't those who have made prision their home.. My question is what does it say about those who hate or curse a God who end a prision sentence earily? Why is 'fairness' based on 'prision' rules?
