Reality ?

The film The Matrix is closer to reality than most might think. Although the "reality" as depicted in the film is as far from the true reality as east is from west.

We live in a pretense that was created by God. It is called Creation. In this pretense God created all things in it to follow rules and laws. From the extremely small to the extremely large, all objects in creation are doing as God set down that they would do. That is except for Mankind, because God gave Mankind free will. With free will Mankind has the ability to go against the rules and laws of God.

In Genisis 3:5 the serpent says to Eve "... ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil". But we are not "as gods" and were never intended to be, nor can ever in anyway be, as gods.

"In Isaiah 55:8-9 we are told by the Word of God that, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" and "My ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts". Mankind does not have the design capacity to think like God nor comprehend His thoughts. It is beyond our capabilities.

We can only endevour, and strive, to be Christ-like, which is what we are called to be by His Word, as it says in Ephesians 4:13, "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge fo the Son of God unto a perfect man, utot the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."
