Hellbound The Movie
ez2u:
New age movement preaches a no hell story. that your mind is your problem and the way to solve that problem is to stop the mind noise and are world will be a better place. If we put a space between our mind and be still our world will change. there is a lot of problems with this thinking very damnable. It is 2Ti_3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Ignorance is bliss, and I too envy the ignorance of christians sometime, my family being one. They use the scripture as a how to guide, pray, pay, stay, and no worries.
If you do anything to upset the applecart then the fur rises, so I just keep quiet. We could all learn to be a little more like them in the good way. We know God has a perfect plan, we should rejoice in this and not worry...be happy. :D
Honestly, we don't even begin to have all the answers but we should know God is working out a perfect plan and we will all be one with Him someday...talk about good news. :)

Have you guys ever seen the movie "The Matrix"?
Where Cypher is talking to one of "The Smiths"....
"I tell you what... I know this steak that I am eating is not real... The Matrix is telling my brain that this steak is juicy and delicious."
*takes an enjoyable bite of steak*
"But ignorance is bliss".
I know exactly what you mean Dennis, I have felt at sometimes I envied those that don't know the truth, because it's dang hard to come out of babylon. But now, when I think about that situation I don't envy them so much anymore, instead... I have such a love and compassion for them because they will eventually go through what I've gone through. The Matrix will be unplugged for them soon enough and they will face the reality of the Truth. And we will be there to help them along... I'm so thankful that God has called and chosen us to go through it now. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Even if God was to wipe my mind and stick me back in "The Matrix" (this fake world). I would still go through that life knowing there was something more, something missing. It's in all of us... That God given DESIRE to seek Truth above anything else!
Something is amiss my friends... The world is not right... What is the Matrix? Things don't add up. That is the very same types of questions I asked God before he CRUSHED me to powder. I had NO IDEA what He was about to do in my life.
Yeah.... The Matrix is probably my most favorite movie of all time.

If I understand you at all, you mean you envy their BLINDNESS. Maybe I don't understand you either. :)

Certainly not their blindness. Their ability to be out of touch with reality and not have to think and put very little effort into their spiritual life.
They just go to church and are told what to think (sit there and absorb), sing some emotional songs and go home feeling good, convinced they are on the right track. Then do it all over again next Sunday.
I get PM's and emails all the time from people on this forum (and you see many posts) who cannot overcome and feel guilty. I point out this is what we call repentance and part of what it takes to be in the first resurrection.
Church people do not go through this. All they have to do is write a check and the're all set.
