Tomb Raider The Cradle Of Life...

I was watching Tomb Raider The Cradle Of Life, a few days ago and noticed some stuff in it and wanted to put my thoughts out there.

In about scene 7 some MI6 agents are at Laura Croft's house, to talk to her about "The Cradle Of Life" and "Pandora's Box". MI6 does not want "Pandora's Box" to fall into the hands of Jonathan Reiss, who is a "Modern day Dr. Mengele" willing to sell weapons to the highest bidder.

Pandora's Box is considered a Greek myth, It goes something like this. Pandora was given a box by god, and told not to open it. She does and unleashes pain into the world... I don't want to go into the whole story. One main part is that Pharos son was told to transport it to the end of the world, because it wiped out most of Pharos army. From the Pictures in the movie it appears to be moved on a cart.

This sounds like a story out of the Bible that has been twisted.  In I Chronicles 13 you can reed the story of the Ark Of The Covenant being move on a cart by oxen. That looks like what is happening above. There are some differences in the story but it made me think of this. To me it sounds like there is nothing new under the sun, you just have to change enough to make it sound new.

Your thoughts and comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thinking about it...

These are some quotes that I would like you to think about...

When we offend nobody its because we’ve watered down the truth in the name of grace.

A speaker can be popular, a sermon can be greatly loved, a book can be a best seller in Christian stores, and still be bull of lies.

Is education really possible in an environment that scorns the very existence of truth? Facts can be taught, skills can be learned, propaganda disseminated, diplomas dispensed, but that isn’t education.

Its not arrogance to believe what the Bible teaches. It’s the opposite. Arrogance is when we try to tailor truth to our preferences. To dismiss Christ is mistaken, or the Bible as irrelevant, is the ultimate arrogance.

When we fail to tell the truth, we fail to represent Jesus, who is the truth.

Yet without the bad news, there can be no good news.

Truth without grace breeds a self-righteous legalism.

Truth is good advice.
Grace is good news.

There are two kinds of people: sinners who admit their sin and sinners who deny it. Which kind are you?

“All religions are basically the same” Imagine a Geometry or French teacher who said to his students they are basically the same.
