Hi Randy,
When I saw this movie some years ago I had the same thoughts as you. Maybe life is just an illusion, not real. After all, hollywood says so!
But if it's not real then it must be a grand deception - or to put it another way a HUGE lie!
Which brings these Scriptures to mind:
Romans 3:4 "...let God be true, but every man a liar."
and
Titus l:2 "In hope of eternal life, which God that CANNOT LIE, promised before
the world began."
And if it's not real, but an illusion, then Christ has not died and been resurrected!
Which brings these scriptures to mind:
1 Cor 15:16 "For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised, your faith is
vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen
asleep in Christ are perished.
:14 "And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your
faith is also vain.
:15 "Yea, we are found false witnesses of God..."
:20 "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept."
The way I see it in God's plan He keeps mankind "in the dark", an illusion, through the world and mystery Babylon, until He shines His light of truth into our hearts.
But this world, and all of creation is real. Christ really did die and was resurrected. We must really live this life in the flesh. But we have hope that someday it will all seem like it was just a bad dream!
Christian love,
Cindy
