This friend o...I saw Matrix when it first came out. This friend of mine kept telling me how complicated the plot was, so I went. About 30 minutes into the film, I realized it was simply a high-tech retelling of the Gnostic heresy.<br /><br />The Gnostics argued that God, Jehovah or Elohim, was a tryant who imprisoned the Eternals in the dungeon of this world. They believed that the Creation was an act of evil, that matter is a prison. And that inside each being is a divine spark, the freeing of which, the shedding of the material world, requires a special knowledge known as gnosis.<br /><br />They did not believe that Jesus was the Son of God. Rather they referred to him as an aeon, sent by the Eternals to liberate Man from the tyranny of the material world. Drop the a, invert the letters, and you get Neo.<br /><br />I found the movie quite boring actually, and I did not watch the sequels. But it is a fascinating part of history, the Gnostics. They kept spredding these faux gospels, like the Gospel of Timothy for example. It was cartoon Chrisianity. That's the reason why the Church canonized the Bible in 383 AD, and why St. Jerome translated the Old Testament, which was originally written in Aramaic, and the New Testament, which was originally written in Coptic Greek, into Latin. And thus the Catholic Bible came to be. But it was St. Augustine who discredited the Gnostics.<br /><br />Over a thousand years later, King James ordered a new translation. But those scholars didn't have access to the original manuscripts, merely copies of copies of copies. That's why there are several books missing in the King James Bible that are in the Catholic Bible.<br /><br />They had this test, back in the day, called roots and fruits. If the text could not be traced back to one of the Apostles, it did not pass the test of roots. If the text did not reveal the gospel, which means good news, of Jesus, it did not pass the test of fruits.<br /><br />Sorry to get all religious on you, GYC. But I've spent a great deal of time studying this subject. One of my grandmothers was Nola Tyndale, a direct descendant of William Tyndale, who was the first person to translate the New Testament into English. Believe me, I've heard the stories.<br /><br />My other grandmother was a devout Catholic. That made for some interesting conversations over holidays.<br /><br />You cannot study English literature, from Beowulf through Chaucer to Shakespeare, and beyond, without knowing the Bible. The allusions are all there.GawainsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719480047404817864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-75653795283261877452012-02-18T17:13:07.654-05:002012-02-18T17:13:07.654-05:00Pearl Jam overshadowed by Nirvana - loved em.
