Despite the fact that CS Lewis is presumably writing abt Christianity, readers should realize that he is also author of The Chronicles of Narnia and other demonic fantasies. And they should consider the following:
Lewis was an unwilling convert. Lewis believed in the power and use of spells.
Lewis says sincere unbelievers may go to Heaven. We're saved by works according to Lewis. Theistic evolution is taking place. Lewis believed man is an animal. He said descriptions of heaven found in the Bible are all symbolism. He said worthiness of heaven is based on "the beginnings" of inner "qualities," not salvation. Lewis did not consider himself a "new man." He believed there is a purgatory after death in which we will be purified. Lewis was a humanist, seeing man as being potentially good. He considered: "Badness is only spoiled goodness". CS Lewis: To be born again is still in the future; it is a continuing process not yet completed. He was a product of theistic evolution. Mysticism is a means by which one can leave "this world" before death. Lewis prayed for the dead. Says there is a purgatory which we must suffer after death. Said the work of redemption is continued by purgatory. There is no cumulative effect of trusting God. The earth was created by theistic evolution. There is no literal hell. It is a state of mind. If man is totally depraved, then Christianity is a form of devil worship. Our goodness is not that different from God's. The Bible contains myths. Humans attributed creation to God. Pure love from God is a future thing, not a present fact. Implication that Christ was a created being. Sixteen more such statements could be added.
