Spirit/e—Mere Christianity35 Mere Christianity - Book Two - The Perfect Penitent Book Two WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 4. The Perfect Penitent We are faced, then, with a frightening alternative. This man we are talking about either was (and is) just what He said or else a lunatic, or something worse. Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was .. 2009. 8. 2. Mere Christianity - Book Two - The Shocking Alternative Book Two WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 3. The Shocking Alternative Christians, then, believe that an evil power has made himself for the present the Prince of this World. And, of course, that raises problems. Is this state of affairs in accordance with God's will or not? If it is, He is a strange God, you will say: and if it is not, how can anything happen contrary to the will of a being with absolut.. 2009. 7. 24. Mere Christianity - Book Two - The Invasion Book Two WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 2. The Invasion Very well then, atheism is too simple. And I will tell you another view that is also too simple. It is the view I call Christianity-and-water, the view which simply says there is a good God in Heaven and everything is all right-leaving out all the difficult and terrible doctrines about sin and hell and the devil, and the redemption. Both these ar.. 2009. 7. 19. Mere Christianity - Book Two - The Rival Conceptions Of God Book Two WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 1. The Rival Conceptions Of God I have been asked to tell you what Christians believe, and I am going to begin by telling you one thing that Christians do not need to believe. If you are a Christian you do not have to believe that all the other religions are simply wrong all through. If you are an atheist you do have to believe that the main point in all the rel.. 2009. 7. 11. Mere Christianity - Book One - We Have Cause to Be Uneasy Book One RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE 5. We Have Cause to Be Uneasy I ended my last chapter with the idea that in the Moral Law somebody or something from beyond the material universe was actually getting at us. And I expect when I reached that point some of you felt a certain annoyance. You may even have thought that I had played a trick on you-that I had been caref.. 2009. 7. 5. Mere Christianity - Book One - What Lies Behind the Law Book One RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE 4. What Lies Behind the Law Let us sum up what we have reached so far. In the case of stones and trees and things of that sort, what we call the Laws of Nature may not be anything except a way of speaking. When you say that nature is governed by certain laws, this may only mean that nature does, in fact, behave in a certain way. .. 2009. 7. 4. Mere Christianity - Book One - The Reality of the Law Book One RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE 3. The Reality of the Law I now go back to what I said at the end of the first chapter, that there were two odd things about the human race. First, that they were haunted by the idea of a sort of behaviour they ought to practise, what you might call fair play, or decency, or morality, or the Law of Nature. Second, that they did n.. 2009. 6. 28. Mere Christianity - Book One - Some Objections Book One RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE 2. Some Objections If they are the foundation, I had better stop to make that foundation firm before I go on. Some of the letters I have had show-that a good many people find it difficult to understand just what this Law of Human Nature, or Moral Law, or Rule of Decent Behaviour is. For example, some people wrote to me saying, "I.. 2009. 6. 26. Mere Christianity - Book One - The Law of Human Nature Book One RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE 1. The Law of Human Nature Every one has heard people quarrelling. Sometimes it sounds funny and sometimes it sounds merely unpleasant; but however it sounds, I believe we can learn something very important from listening to the kind of things they say. They say things like this: "How'd you like it if anyone did the same to you?".. 2009. 6. 21. Mere Christianity - Preface C.S.Lewis.

Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening in to the secret wireless from our friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going.” .. 2009. 6. 14. 이전 1 2 3 다음
