The Red Pill and the Blue Pill
- Matrix – do you know what this is, Neo?
- Feeling we have all had – there is something wrong with the world
- Blue Pill – You wake up and you believe what you wan to the believe (Jewish leaders chose this one)
- Red Pill – you are only offered truth
- Without repentance, we will remain blinded
- How could a kingdom transcend geographic boundaries?
- How could a kingdom be within us?
- What sort of kingdom has no capital, no government, no army, and no temple?
- Longed for a tangible kingdom rather than a spiritual kingdom
The Kingdom of God is Here
- Many Christians the kingdom of God as something the future holds
- Some wish to avoid the kingdom commitment here on earth
- Kingdom expect allegiance ahead of all others
- Any real government expects this type of loyalty
The North Pole Kingdom Paradigm
- King exerted seasonal influence
- Three levels of subjects:
- Disciples – treated him a Lord
- Christians – little bit naughty, gave mainly to friends and family, on rear occasions to the poor
- Unbelievers – little bit naughty, did not believe, not Hitler or other really bad people
- Most indirectly believe in this theory of the world
- If I abandon this paradigm, I would have to admit I am wrong.
