家园 既然你说起他

那就正好可以用他的话问你几个问题:

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot be is moderately important."

你认为christianity是true还是false呢?

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

你认为耶稣是疯子还是神?

"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened. "

你属于哪一类?

如果你在看lewis,而你对基督教的态度还是sitting on the fence,那你就不能对他有一个正确的认知。他是一个absolutist,特别是在宗教的问题。你介绍这个人而不介绍他(狂热)的宗教观,很难把这个人拼凑完整。

顺便说一句,他向来被称为apostle of the skeptic。如果你还没有被convert,恭喜,就快了。

如果你已经是神的仆人了,鼓励你光明正大的传教。基督教不是什么见不得光的事。

通宝推:添奕,
