The MO of the OP and many fundamentalist. They live to put down others
I had a friend who worked in oxford and she said they were right snobs lol.
ugh sorry I just came across this. Only the Lamb is worthy to open the scroll. Just read the whole chapter.........WHAT!?
Wow. Dude, just wow.
You're a Christian, and you don't even know who your Lord is?
Let me ask you this. If Christ is not the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, then who opens the Book in Revelation 5:5?
EDIT: My apologies if I sounded kinda brash in this post, but that just took me by surprise. I couldn't believe my eyes and had to do a double-take.
Suddenly it was only the Theosophist Mileau at Oxford as opposed to having had an Theosophist mentor. You seem to be backtracking from your statements.The book i read on cs lewis was by alistair mcgrath and it wasnt the greatest biography IMHO. He kept going on about how cs lewis forgot when he was converted and had the dates wrong, making it seem like he was deliberately covering it up. But it could just mean he was getting old and confused.
As for the land lady relationship, that just seemed odd. It was the daughter maureen who revealed that cs lewis had a relationship with her mother that went further than tenant or caregiver. But that may have been before his conversion. We all make mistakes.
As for theosophy well cs lewis was around that intellectual climate of ideas so porbably absorbed a lot of them when he was younger and was vulnerable to its influence. He did write that he was fascinated with the occult and had a lust for the preternatural.
If you live in a climate like oxford where theres all these atheists and occult practioners and are the only christian you might want to compromise your faith and just try and get along with them. Or you could just say, not thats wrong. And there is a way to be free, and the only way is through Jesus. I dont think its any good telling witches and wizards well ive found a better magic than you and joined church and heres why cos its true.
Its because cs lewis seems to have a low view of scripture and places more imprtance on his reasoning and arguments that I think, well. If he just stated the truth thats in the bible it would cut to the heart of whats wrong and then he wouldnt need to explain it all, just allow God to work through his Word.
ugh sorry I just came across this. Only the Lamb is worthy to open the scroll. Just read the whole chapter.
don't try to make out like its a fantasy and myth like CS lewis did.
The OP has bragged in the singles section of this forum that she has made CS Lewis fans mad by questioning Lewis....and has bragged several times. So, at this point I think this was all a troll thread. I'm not a huge fan of Lewis, but I find the OP's questioning reaching and laughable.
Im not trolling, but if I am why would you bother answering if I was. How would I know again i didnt know him personally and you dont either. So when i read something Im trying to find out if its true or not.
You can tell a person by their fruits so am judging by their fruits i.e their character, what other people say of him not just what he wrote. People can be very eloquent and convincing but they can also be self deceiving. I came a cross a poem cs lewis wrote, the bio said he was a poet manque...and he did touch in pride was the biggest thing he had to overcome. A place like oxford fosters academic pride. It was something that all academics have to fight against, the tendency to believe their own arguments, even if they are wrong.
Sometimes. I grew up fundamentalist, and it was my father who gave me the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe to read. We read the Chronicles of Narnia together, and it was a wonderful Father/Daughter thing.The MO of the OP and many fundamentalist. They live to put down others
Is it pride when you really ARE right most of the time?You can tell a person by their fruits so am judging by their fruits i.e their character, what other people say of him not just what he wrote.

I don't think it was about Mrs Moore or his wife at all, as it was in the Theology section. It was probably on the question of Susan in the Narnia books and the role of women in Christianity according to Lewis.I was at the christian bookstore the other day looking for new christian books to buy for our church library.
They do have CS lewis box sets but I don't have an interest enough to buy them (which I already shared) and other christian authors besides Lewis of course.
Then I was looking in the theology section and I came across this book and it was all about CS Lewis and women. I thought, how odd, why should there be a book on CS Lewis and women?! In the theology section?? Well reading the back of this book, it was saying how he got accused of various things, like sexism and this book was to set the record straight by all these other different authors. I think it was about his marriage and also his landlady liaison that people were questioning. Enough to write a whole book on though?
I don't really see any other books like this about other christian writers on the shelves, going into their personal lives and defending them from whatever perceived accusations. Maybe they are just observations that cs lewis fans take the wrong way? Anyway, I just thought it was odd. I mean if you going to flat with a landlady and you a young male, but you lie about this to others and cover up, of course people are going to question this, and also marry someone on their deathbed, who is divorced, (and an american seeking residency) well, yea. But thats not accusing him of anything, its just what he did.
The english are eccentric after all and extremely private. I don't know if this eccentricity is actually redeemed by Jesus and they suddenly become these open extroverts upon conversion lol. But maybe the church in england at the time wasn't so accepting of things outside of traditions.
