Matrix, LOST, and Predestination

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

More on Predestination vs. Free Will in the Matrix clip below. (I love the “bake your noodle” line.)

By the way, seems like this week’s episode of LOST was a bit fixated on Free Will vs. Predestination too.

So would he have broken the vase had she not preconditioned him to do so?

Thoughts?

Funny clip. There is a point to it. Just as God lead Moses and the Israelites through the desert he leads us through the desert of life when we align our will with his. When we submit or surrender to him. We don’t hear voices per se that tell us what to do but he does tell us what to do by his grace and his spirit moving in and through us. One of my favorite passages of scripture is:

[16] that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,
[17] and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
[18] may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
[19] and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.
[20]Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
[21] to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

Got that. We will do far more in him working in us than we can even possibly THINK! Yet it is him to whom the glory goes, lest we boast. Now tie this to Rom 2:4-8 and Matt 25 and John 5:28.

By the way, no he would not likely have broken the vase. We are relationshonal creatures. “no man is an island”. We all influence and affect eachother.
