In December of 2009 the Movie Avatar was released after a 5year developmental period. In less then two months it has become the most commercially successful movie of all time. To have this kind of financial success it appears that the movie has touched enough emotional, psychological, and spiritual buttons to get people to pay out over 2 Billion dollars worth of tickets.
It will be the purpose of this blog to share some insights of what it is that people come to look for in the movie, and what it is that they experience, and then to share some insights into this process from a Christian Biblical perspective.
Some of the blog posts will be long and some of them short but all of them will be attempting to discuss an issue in the movie and then give a Bible response to that subject. Hopefully people will be able to assess some of these issues and to get answers to some questions that they might have had.
I pray that these ideas will be used to give people security and to fulfill their hopes of being able to see something like Pandora or even better. God tells us in the Bible that when He created the earth, and the Garden of Eden, that it was very good. Genesis 1:31. It is this writers opinion that the Garden of Eden was the prototype of the movie Avatar and that all of the major themes in the movie were derived, in some way or another, from the Bible stories which came out of the Garden of Eden. What people enjoyed about the beauties of Pandora were the things that God put into the Garden of Eden.
God has indicated that we will see the Garden of Eden again for this Garden is described in Revelation 22:1-2. In addition God has said that He will create a new heavens and a new earth and it will be like the original earth created for His people in the beginning. Revelation 21:1. God has also promised us that He will create a setting for His people that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into the minds of men. All that Pandora has offered, God will show us something better.
