When
a man who is honestly mistaken
hears the truth, he will either quit being
mistaken or cease to be honest.
How about you?

[God] said (in the Bible) that we were “gods” and He is going to make good His words. If we let Him—for we can prevent Him, if we choose—He will make the feeblest and filthiest of us into a god or goddess, a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine. C. S. Lewis, Beyond Personality (London: The Centenary Press, 1945), 48. Also contained in Mere Christianity (New York: Macmillan Company, 1952), 174-175.

"Must our image of God go?" C. S. Lewis once rhetorically queried
the late Anglican Bishop John A. T. Robinson. Robinson, noted thirty-five
years ago for (then) avant-garde proposals, had suggested it was high time
feminine images for God were introduced to balance out the traditional masculine
ones. To this Lewis replied ironically, "I shouldn't believe it strongly,
but some sort of case could be made out."
John
F. Kennedy, C.S. Lewis, and Aldous Huxley all died on the same day.
2Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as
the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Clive Staples Lewis has been perhaps the single most useful tool
of Satan since his appearance in the Christian community sometime around
World War II. With his strong belief in nondenominational Christianity,
which he termed "mere Christianity", and his apparent orthodoxy
in doctrine, the influence of his pen has reached across many years. When
the light of God's Holy Bible is focused upon his writings, however, his
heresy and outright love of Satan comes into bold view.
Though a highly acclaimed and widely published "Christian" author,
when judged by his own words by the word of God it becomes clear that he
was indeed a fool in the most extreme sense of the word, yet a very subtle
one that was and is extremely useful to his father the devil. Matthew 12:37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them.
Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
John
7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
C.S.
Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland; baptized an Anglican at St Mark's Dundela,
Belfast; and became an atheist in his teens. His education at Oxford was
interrupted by World War I, but after recovering from a wound he returned
to university to continue his studies. The New International Dictionary
of the Christian Church states on p. 594, that "Lewis moved slowly
from atheism through Yeatsian romanticism to absolute idealism and finally
theism, returning to worship
in the Church of England in 1929."
Lewis' so-called conversion is described by one of his friends in Light
on C. S. Lewis as having come about by thinking. On page 62 of that book
it says, "It did not come by sudden intuition, or overwhelming vision,
or even by the more usual path of conviction of sin calling for repentance
and atonement. It came by taking thought and it added many cubits to his
stature."

That
author made a direct attack upon the word of God in this statement.
Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking
thought can add one cubit unto his stature? If we
cannot add stature to ouselves physically through thinking, it is
altogether fautly to say we can do so spiritually. Thinking is not
God's way of salvation. Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him. Paul said he testified ...both
to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith
toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:21 It is not
possible to be saved without recognizing one's own need of a Saviour
and putting faith in Christ Jesus the Son of the living God. [Note
quote at right. Lewis' belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God was
very questionable.]

CS LEWIS ON
JESUS'
PROPHECY OF THE END TIMES: "Say what you like," we shall be told, "the apocalyptic beliefs of the first Christians have been proved to be false. It is clear from the New Testament that they all expected the Second Coming in their own lifetime. And, worse still, they had a reason, and one which you will find very embarassing. Their Master had told them so. He shared, and indeed created, their delusion. He said in so many words, 'this generation shall not pass till all these things be done.' And he was wrong. He clearly knew no more about the end of the world than anyone else." It is certainly the most embarassing verse in the Bible. Yet how teasing, also, that within fourteen words of it should come the statement "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." The one exhibition of error and the one confession of ignorance grow side by side.... The facts, then, are these: that Jesus professed himself (in some sense) ignorant, and within a moment showed that he really was so. To believe in the Incarnation, to believe that he is God, makes it hard to understand how he could be ignorant; but also makes it certain that, if he said he could be ignorant, then ignorant he could really be. For a God who can be ignorant is less baffling than a God who falsely professes ignorance. The answer of theologians is that the God-Man was omniscient as God, and ignorant as Man. This, no doubt, is true, though it cannot be imagined." The World's Last Night (1960), found in The Essential C.S. Lewis, p. 385 |
He
was a Fellow of English Language and Literature at Magdalen College, Oxford,
until 1954. In 1955 he was elected Professor of Medieval and Renaissance
Literature at Magdalen College, Cambridge.
While many of us have been deceived by this man's apparent spiritual insight,
he actually believed many doctrines of devils and by the end of his life
was rapidly embracing Roman Catholicism and Taoism. Indeed, he may have
been a Catholic for some time before his death. He believed in purgatory
and prayed for the dead. He went to a priest regularly for confession (C.S.
Lewis: A Biography , p. 198). He received the sacrament of extreme unction
on July, 16th, 1963 (p. 301), a sacrament that was officially ministered
only to Roman Catholics at that time. It is enough to cause one to wonder
if whether he was a "plant" for the Catholic church all along,
or merely a mixed up man groping for some hope of salvation at the end of
his life.
Lewis was allegedly a bachelor for most of his life, though there are more
or less substantiated stories of a sexual relationship with Janie Moore
who lived with him for years (see links below). However, he married Joy
Davidman Gresham at age 58. She was supposedly converted partly due to Lewis'
books. After meeting him in England, she returned to the U.S. where she
was divorced from her husband. According to two of his friends, Gresham's
husband divorced her on the grounds of desertion.(1) She returned to England
and made herself available to Lewis, who married her shortly thereafter.
[Ask any soap opera junky what the previous scenario means. They will tell
you.] So, even in his marriage he was in disobedience to the word of God.
Matthew 5:32 ...and whosoever shall marry
her that is divorced committeth adultery.
As mentioned, he did not like denominational boundaries, and so he made great strides in describing Christianity outside of them, calling it "mere Christianity," which became the title one of his most famous and destructive books.
1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
Let's take a look at some the things he taught and included in his various books:
The worst is yet to come.
Many of us have been exposed to The Chronicles of Narnia at some point in our lives either through the books themselves or through one of the many videos, animated and regular movies, games, etc. they have inspired. My own parents read these books to my brother and I when we were young, but over time became less and less pleased with them as the Lord brought various things to their attention. We eventually discarded them, and my dad, having obtained some information on Lewis' heresies and associations, lost respect for him as any kind of a Christian resource. C.S. Lewis has amazing staying power for many, however, and perhaps nowhere more than in his "innocent" fantasies for children.
The
Chronicles of Narnia are one of the most powerful tools of Satan that Lewis
ever produced. Worst of all, these books are geared toward children. Please
go to the next page to read about this indoctrinating tool of witchcraft.

Comments on the new Narnia movie (Dec. 2005): ---------------------------------------- [Letter to BBC producer Lance Sieveking (1896-1972), who has written at the top: 'The Magician's Nephew' and, after the address, the phone number "62963".] Dear Sieveking (Why do you 'Dr' me? Had we not dropped the honorifics?) As things worked out, I wasn't free to hear a single installment of our serial [The Magician's Nephew] except the first. What I did hear, I approved. I shd. be glad for the series to be given abroad. But I am absolutely opposed - adamant isn't in it! - to a TV version. Anthropomorphic animals, when taken out of narrative into actual visibility, always turn into buffoonery or nightmare. At least, with photography. Cartoons (if only Disney did not combine so much vulgarity with his genius!) wld. be another matter. A human, pantomime, Aslan wld. be to me blasphemy. All
