Nah, I know what you're saying about the crucifixion and now I think we're in a bit more agreement (now that you've added about living in Christ). ;) But yeah, I'm glad we agree on that one. Just an extra thought though - not just eternal fellowship with God the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit, but fellowship with God the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit now. I was part of a Bible study last week where it was pointed out that the Kingdom of God is not only something we look forward to - but something that is in us now - since we receieve the Holy Spirit. How 'bout that for a thought aye?! :idea:

The way you just described Lewis using Christian theology as a 'literary tool' to explore the truth of Christianity - I like that! :clap: Honestly I think it's very insightful!

I'll be interested to read your next entry. ;)

Glad I was able to be of help to you.

Blessings,

People will debate this until I die and after. Hopefully I can live to 121 to see if this site is still on to debate it. :)
Without my friends or cousins, I don't make sense. Life would be somewhere not worth my time.
