He tried to experience many aspects of the world and other people.
What form does it take? An actual voice in your head? A chance occurance that helps you? What is it?
Plus , I laughed my ass off.

There was something rather innocent and lovely about her. Of course, I find all kinds of theological parallels in movies.

Originally posted by kirksey957Well, I was talking about how Neo is like a savior.
No. Jesus was non-violent. Plus, I didn't see any whores in the Matrix movies.
Remember at the begining of the first one a guy at his apartment door calls him his savior.
But anyways the girl in the red dress and the French mans wife.

Does God speak to us through things other than the Bible?
God has said all he is going to say in his word the bible.
There is no new revelation of his will being given to man. We now have all we need to know concerning his will for man contained in scripture.
Any doubt of this will only lead to error.

Originally posted by josephwI am not sure I agree. I would agree, however, that any revelations we may recieve from God should be scrutinized by his written word, however. I have recieved revelations from God concerning my own life, or at least, I attribute such revelations to him.
