A Walk with Lewis: Mere Christianity: Book Four: Chapter 2 (The Three Personal God)
http://walkwithlewis.blogspot.com/2012/06/mere-christianity-book-four-chapter-2.html
A Walk with Lewis. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Mere Christianity: Book Four: Chapter 2 (The Three Personal God). On The Trinity and the Complexity of Religion. If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could make it easier. But it is not. We cannot compete, in simplicity, with people who are inventing religions. How could we? We are dealing with Fact. Of course anyone can be simple if he has no facts to bother about.". Posted by R.D.Langr. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Walk with Lewis. Thursday, December 27, 2012. Mere Christianity: Book 4; Chapter 4 (Good Infection). What do I think is most important to take away from this chapter? Perhaps the best Biblical iteration of what Lewis is saying is what Paul said so long ago in his letter to the Corinthians, ". Is patient, love is kind and. Is not jealous; love does not brag and. Does not act unbecomingly; it. Does not seek its own, is not provoked,. Does not take into account a wrong suffered. Rejoices with the truth;.

A Walk with Lewis: Mere Christianity: Book 4 (Beyond Personality); Ch. 1 (Making and Begetting)
http://walkwithlewis.blogspot.com/2012/06/mere-christianity-book-4-beyond.html
A Walk with Lewis. Thursday, June 7, 2012. Mere Christianity: Book 4 (Beyond Personality); Ch. 1 (Making and Begetting). The Trinity and Why Religion Matters. Book four of Mere Christianity. Is part in which Lewis explains the doctrine of the Trinity. While it's important that every believer understands this fundamental concept of theology, I will spend less time explaining that, and more time focusing on a few other arguments Lewis makes. But here's the thing, without the map we get lost, and what's mor...

A Walk with Lewis. Sunday, January 9, 2011. Mere Christianity: Book 3: Chapter 5 (Sexual Morality). The Fight For Chastity. For this post, I wish to mostly just share Lewis' thoughts on Chastity as an encouragement for those who may struggle with it. Lewis starts off by saying "Chastity is the most unpopular of the Christian Virtues. Rather, I want to make a case for hope in Chastity. I want to examine how Lewis says we can be cured. and indeed, his words are encouraging. What Makes Chastity Hard? And th...

A Walk with Lewis. Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Mere Christianity: Book 3; Chapter 2 (The Cardinal Virtues). This chapter focuses on the cardinal virtues, something which I mention frequently in my writing. After reading through this chapter I feel as though there is not a specific focal point on which I can reflect without just regurgitating what Lewis said. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to reflect on a series of important quotes through the chapter:. One of the marks of a. bad man is ...

A Walk with Lewis. Monday, June 25, 2012. Mere Christinity: Book 4: Chapter 3 (Time and Beyond). God, Time, and Vocation. This is one of the chapters that Lewis says one can skip if its not interesting to the reader, but I'm going to make it relevant to any Christian person. Basically, God is outside of time. and while this is a mystery that we as humans (who live essentially in. Meaning that he always has been and always will be. What does this mean for those of us who believe in Christ? Your eyes saw m...

A Walk with Lewis: February 2011
http://walkwithlewis.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
A Walk with Lewis. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Mere Christianity: Book 3; Chapter 7 (Forgiveness). In this chapter Lewis outlines the only virtue that, in his mind, may be harder than chastity- forgiveness. Lewis states that, at the heart of this issue is the greatest commandment to "Love your neighbor as yourself". It is this notion of loving the enemy, along with society's misunderstanding of what love actually IS, that makes this one of the hardest virtues. How do I love myself? Forgiveness is an act o...

A Walk with Lewis. Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Mere Christianity: Book 3; Chapter 10 (Hope). Nothing Can Satisfy Us. On earth. There are two quotes that instantly come to mind when summing up this chapter of Lewis. The first is by Karl Rahner:. In the torment of the insufficiency of everything attainable we come to understand that here, in this life, all symphonies remain unfinished. The second is by St. Augustine:. My heart is restless, O Lord, until it rests in You. Posted by R.D.Langr. Spirituality for th...

A Walk with Lewis. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Mere Christianity: Book 2; Chapter 4 (The Perfect Penitent). A Modern Atonement Theory. Lewis' chapter on "the perfect penitent" is really just a thinly veiled treatise on Atonement Theory. Atonement theories basically describe the way. In which Christ's Crucifixion enables our salvation. There are three main theories of atonement amongst mainline scholars, those being: Ransom Theory. And Moral Influence Theory. Lewis starts off by stating the problem- humans...
