Sabbath School Lesson # 9

[Sophia7]

I had no idea this quote from Lewis would stir such emotions within our small group.

It was never my intention for us to get too upset over it.

I had always thought that Lewis had been regarded as a Christian, well some are not so sure but whatever the case in that. I see the quote as a stand alone quote and it comes to me without any baggage as to what Lewis was or was not.

I took the Lesson to mean that here we have a person who is not an SDA and that person is saying that if we have a religion that is only moderate (half hearted) then we in reality we do not have a religion at all.

If he can see that then we as SDA's should see it loud and clear.

I am wondering if you see it as that or is there something I have missed and others have picked up on it.

Yes, I agree. I don't see anything wrong with the quote either.

Yes, I agree. I don't see anything wrong with the quote either.

The Lesson has finished and I still know some who are up in arms about it. It has been a real thorn in the flesh for some.

The problem being is that they cannot separate the so called bad things that Lewis says with that which is good.

I do not have any of his books and will not be buying any. All I took was the quote from the pamphlet. It seems that for some and they are not here it was a very big sin to quote Lewis.

I was at a friends house yesterday, and on some TV show his sister showed him, it said Lewis went to a school were the headmaster was mental, and later on in life got arrested and sent to a mental institution. It's not much on topic, but I found it interesting.
