“We will send them a message” – Jake Sully, Avatar
I just watched Avatar, and couldn’t wait to blog about a few thoughts that stood out in my head. This series is digested best after watching the movie – the movie is definitely worth watching. First the trailer to set the stage:
“It is said that the Na’vi are born twice.”
Fascinating concept, isn’t it, being born twice. The Na’vi are born once physically, and again spiritually, becoming part of the people. Just thinking about the concept alone fascinates me. What fascinates me even more, is that Jesus said the exact same thing:
From John 3:1-8:
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
In Cameron’s fictional world, you had to be spiritually reborn to be truly part of the Na’vi. In God’s real world, you need to be spiritually born again to enter eternal life and be part of God’s kingdom.
In Rom 7:7-8, Paul writes:
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Without being born again, we cannot know or please God. More about that here.
But what if God’s not real? In Part 3, we’ll be taking a brief look at that.
Question: What are your thoughts/beliefs on needing to be born again?
