Spirit/e—Mere Christianity35 Mere Christianity - Book Three - Faith Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 11. Faith I must talk in this chapter about what the Christians call Faith. Roughly speaking, the word Faith seems to be used by Christians in two senses or on two levels, and I will take them in turn. In the first sense it means simply Belief-accepting or regarding as true the doctrines of Christianity. That is fairly simple. But what does puzzle people-at least .. 2009. 11. 8. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Hope Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 10. Hope Hope is one of the Theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who d.. 2009. 10. 24. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Charity Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 9. Charity I said in an earlier chapter that there were four "Cardinal" virtues and three "Theological" virtues. The three Theological ones are Faith, Hope, and Charity. Faith is going to be dealt with in the last two chapters. Charity was partly dealt with in Chapter 7, but there I concentrated on that part of Charity which is called Forgiveness. I now want to ad.. 2009. 10. 19. Mere Christianity - Book Three - The Great Sin Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 8. The Great Sin Today I come to that part of Christian morals where they differ most sharply from all other morals. There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. I have heard people admit .. 2009. 10. 11. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Forgiveness Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 7. Forgiveness I said in a previous chapter that chastity was the most unpopular of the Christian virtues. But I am not sure I was right I believe the one I have to talk of today is even more unpopular: the Christian rule, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Because hi Christian morals "thy neighbour" includes "thy enemy," and so we come up against this te.. 2009. 9. 28. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Christian Marriage Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 6. Christian Marriage The last chapter was mainly negative. I discussed what was wrong with the sexual impulse in man, but said very little about its right working-in other words, about Christian marriage. There are two reasons why I do not particularly want to deal with marriage. The first is that the Christian doctrines on this subject are extremely unpopular. T.. 2009. 9. 21. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Sexual Morality Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 5. Sexual Morality We must now consider Christian morality as regards sex, what Christians call the virtue of chastity. The Christian rule of chastity must not be confused with the social rule of "modesty" (in one sense of that word); i.e. propriety, or decency. The social rule of propriety lays down how much of the human body should be displayed and what subjects.. 2009. 9. 14. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Morality and Psychoanalysis Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 4. Morality and Psychoanalysis I have said that we should never get a Christian society unless most of us became Christian individuals. That does not mean, of course, that we can put off doing anything about society until some imaginary date in the far future. It means that we must begin both jobs at once-(1) the job of seeing how "Do as you would be done by" can .. 2009. 9. 5. Mere Christianity - Book Three - Social Morality Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 3. Social Morality The first thing to get clear about Christian morality between man and man is that in this department Christ did not come to preach any brand new morality. The Golden Rule of the New Testament (Do as you would be done by) is a summing up of what everyone, at bottom, had always known to be right. Really great moral teachers never do introduce new .. 2009. 8. 30. Mere Christianity - Book Three - The "Cardinal Virtues" Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 2. The "Cardinal Virtues" The previous section was originally composed to be given as a short talk on the air. If you are allowed to talk for only ten minutes, pretty well everything else has to be sacrificed to brevity. One of my chief reasons for dividing morality up into three parts (with my picture of the ships sailing in convoy) was that this seemed the short.. 2009. 8. 22. Mere Christianity - Book Three - The Three Parts Of Morality Book Three CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOUR 1. The Three Parts Of Morality There is a story about a schoolboy who was asked what he thought God was like. He replied that, as far as he could make out, God was "The sort of person who is always snooping round to see if anyone is enjoying himself and then trying to stop it." And I am afraid that is the sort of idea that the word Morality raises in a good many p.. 2009. 8. 16. Mere Christianity - Book Two - The Practical Conclusion Book Two WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 5. The Practical Conclusion The perfect surrender and humiliation were undergone by Christ: perfect because He was God, surrender and humiliation because He was man. Now the Christian belief is that if we somehow share the humility and suffering of Christ we shall also share in His conquest for death and find a new life after we have died and in it become perfec.. 2009. 8. 3. 이전 1 2 3 다음
