"The Chronicles of Narnia has done the unthinkable - it's put Christianity smack-bang in the middle of a pop-cultural debate. "
- - - resulting in more Pop Christianity.
Pop Christianity glosses over the importance of the shed blood for the remission of sins...it is "milk" for the masses.
Christ the sinless one who in himself never trangressed the Law, or the "word"(Logos)...or shall we say "the Deep Magic", took on the penalty of our transgressions when he himself was not guilty of any transgressions. The penalty of sin is death...but the death of the "living fleshly embodiment" of the Logos(or the "deep magic") created a universal existential quandary. This actually was by God's design. Death's power was broken, and broken lives could be renewed with the power of the resurrection available to all who ask and repent. "Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection....as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive!"
This movie and the book it sprang from is solid red meat for the chewing...and I can see from posts from some Christians and agnostics alike that they are choaking on it!
