How can they miss the mark so??!

I was in turns moved by all sorts of contradictory emotions while reading this text, which seems to me alternately ridiculous and tragic:



The irony is that the title of this Web site is "Biblical Discernment Ministries"!

Sorry for the redundancy if this article has been discussed here before. I just came running here to a community of people who would understand my feelings about it.

I have never read so much trash in one article. This is incredible! I have never heard of this ministry and I am glad that I have not up until this point. Thank you for showing us this, so that, we can stay away from this so called ministry.

That is just *gags*.......the idea. Granted, I don't 100% agree with Lewis on all points of theology, but I've gleaned so much from his writings. I can say reading his works has brought me closer to God than perhaps any other author. (besides Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible of course)

And to call Five Children and It occultic/ How sad. I really enjoyed that book myself. I'm also not sure if Lewis nessisarily when he wrote fictional books like the CoN was trying to set out his theological statement of faith.

It's not as bad as the Balaam's Ass Website that celebrates the "fact" that CS Lewis, Aldoux Huxley and John F Kennedy all went to hell on the same day. This one is mild if compared with that rant.

Hmmmm. These people reading the quotes out of context, or misinterpreting some. Enough to give you a headache. Most of these quotes are out of context, or not seen entirely in the same light as what Lewis wrote them. Especially his "From other worlds" quote about how, by accident, Christianity came into Narnia. I always saw that as a sort of way God worked in Lewis and how much Lewis' own Christianity always stayed within his lives. The writer of the article, however, seem to reading in it that Lewis wants to be a occultist. Narnia isn't occult fantasy. These people seem to think all fantasy is occultic.

I read the article with mounting anger which left me speechless. I am thinking most un-Christianlike thoughts!!

My wife and I have recently moved from a "non-Conformist" church (I won't be any more specific than that) to an Anglican one, and it's quite an unusual experience, especially having spent the intervening time since I was last in an Anglican church (when I was a student), soaking in Lewis's mindset about church life, among other things. Suddenly it all seems so obvious that a familiar liturgy which leaves you free to think, and hymns you can really put your heart into, and real bread and real wine (ick! I've grown to detest dry crackers!), are the right and obvious thing to do. I suppose I could just be getting older, but I don't think my passion is fundamentally decreased, just (after admittedly some less than positive experiences) some of the aspects of "newer" brands of Christianity just seem less important than they used to. We'll see how things turn out...

P.S. I love the avatar; is it Rossetti? Not that I know anything about art.....
