He was "the one" and he had been born to save the world and spread the truth to the people who were living in a world full of lies...I dunno, maybe I read too much into these things...

My sister is a missions major at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. I heard from her that Moody actually offered an entire class on "The Matrix." They watched the movie, and then studied it as an analogy of the Gospel.

I just thought you might find that tidbit interesting. I agree with eric that they're taking it too far. I don't believe that using a Hollywood movie to teach Biblical truth is a wise or even right thing to do. Even movies based on Biblical stories generally seem to take "artistic license," often at the expense of truth and doctrine.
