Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Hebrews 2:14-16 KJV Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; [15] And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. [16] For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 20:28-29 KJV And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Acts 16:30-31 KJV ...what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1 John 1:8-10 KJV If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. GOD CREATED THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL PLANTS, ANIMALS AND THE FIRST TWO HUMANS (ADAM AND EVE) IN SIX LITERAL 24- HOUR DAYS. GOD CREATED THE EARTH AS A GLOBAL PARADISE, THERE WAS NO DEATH, SICKNESS OR DISEASE. MAN LIKE ALL OF THE ANIMALS ATE VEGETATION. ALL WAS PERFECT. Genesis 1-2 GOD CREATED ADAM, THE FIRST MAN OUT OF DUST Genesis 2.7, GOD COMMANDS ADAM NOT TO EAT FROM THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL BECAUSE, THE TREE WILL BRING DEATH Genesis 2:16-17 GOD MAKES EVE, THE FIRST WOMAN FROM ADAM'S RIB Genesis 2.18-23 ADAM AND EVE WERE NAKED AND NOT ASHAMED Genesis 2.25 THE DEVIL APPEARS TO EVE AS A SNAKE AND CAUSES HER TO DOUBT GOD'S WORD Genesis 3:1 THE DEVIL LIES, TO EVE AND SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT DIE IF THEY TAKE FROM THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT. Genesis 3.3 ADAM AND EVE EAT THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT Genesis 3.6 ADAM AND EVE'S EYES WERE OPENED. THEY KNEW THEY WERE NAKED AND HID IN SHAME. Genesis 3.7 ADAM AND EVE ATTEMPTED TO HIDE FROM GOD Genesis 3.8 GOD CURSES THE DEVIL Genesis 3.14 GOD PROPHESIES OF HIS REDEMPTION OF MAN AND THE DEFEAT OF THE DEVIL Genesis 3.15 GOD MULTIPLIES THE WOMAN'S SORROW AND CONCEPTION AND HAS THE HUSBAND RULE OVER HER Genesis 3.16 GOD CURSED THE GROUND FOR ADAM'S SAKE. THORNS AND THISTLES WERE BROUGHT FORTH Genesis 3.17 THE HUMAN BODY WILL RETURN TO DUST Genesis 3.19 GOD CLOTHED ADAM AND EVE Genesis 3.21 GOD DROVE ADAM AND EVE OUT OF THE GARDEN Genesis 22-24 THROUGH ADAM, CONDEMNATION CAME UPON ALL MEN AND ALL BECAME SINNERS.

[@MrCaptainTea]

My first thought was him taking one of his glasses lens out and breaking it in half to cut the zip tie. Then Walt used the wire and I realized there’s a big difference between a normal person and a genius.

[@DrakeOola]

Zip ties have a little safety latch release mechanism in them so anything like a toothpick can release them. I've even done it with a fingernail so you dont even need to get "fancy" or "scientific" by using mains voltage to melt it, this is extremely dangerous and easy to electrocute yourself and he burnt himself pretty bad. Electrical burns can be a lot worse than normal burns. Literally anything pointy would work. Glasses are too thick to fit in the slot and you're also not likely to get them sharp enough to cut plastic like that but if you chew on it and make a flat point you'd be able to release the zip tie. You can even disassemble the glasses to remove the metal pin at the joints, that would work perfectly and wouldn't leave you blind from destroying your glasses.

Fun Fact: Vince Gilligan actually had actor Bryan Cranston ziptied to the radiator for several days to have him figure out a way to get out, actor Bryan Cranston had to seek medical attention immediately, but Vince liked this so much he left the scene as is.

[@snowarmth]

So many people are finding smarter solutions and flaws in his escape plan, but I think a reminder is warranted. Walt is someone who drove onto the wrong side of traffic because it was dangerous/illegal and regardless of whether it happened before or after this scene, it was within his character to do so. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew other ways to escape, but chose the dangerous one so that he could feel alive. I should also say that he gains an ego kick when he uses his intelligence to escape a situation like this, and he wouldn't get that kick from taking an easy solution out.

@@Alador662 A Circuit Breaker is a safety feature on electrical wiring, it "trips" by opening the circuit when it detects high current, such as when you leave the shower on for too long or short circuit the wiring, power strips also (usually) have circuit breakers or fuses to prevent damage from circuit overload or shortage. Modern circuit breakers are so sophisticated that you can't get more than a light spark out of a short circuit before it trips, let alone generate plasma and enough heat to melt plastic.

It's not because writers do or don't know how zip ties work, it's because humans sometimes don't think about the best choice and make mistakes. And believe it or not, Walter is a human, so maybe he didn't know he could do that, maybe he couldn't think of it.

[@cultclassic999]

Only if you have something sharp and pointed to lower the ratchet latch. I can do that with my nails, because I do not cut my nails often, I'm slovenly. But in this case, I would just chew through the zip tie, it is just plastic.
