Re. C.S. Lewis supported Mormonism theology?

My sides ache from laughing at that preposterous idea.

As explained in some detail HERE:

Not only do [Lewis'] works not support the Mormon theology of deification, in fact they expressly contradict it. Each of the Lewis citations have been taken out of their contexts and twisted. In addition, frequently in his writings about humanity’s eternal destiny, he carefully clarifies the eternal and impassible gulf between the only Creator and His creatures, including humans.

In the future, you may want to do a little more research before posting such an obvious lie.

Wow, that was a nice attempt by the author to sidestep Lewis’s words, and I read the whole link. Please who me SPECIFICALLY where I have twisted his words. You seem familiar with this work. I gave you 4 paragraphs dealing with the issue. There was no snipping at all.

Further, you might want to avail yourself of these other works, these by prominent early Christians on the subject.

You can post until you are blue in the face Zakeet but...

2 Nephi 2
10 And because of the intercession for all, all men come unto God; wherefore, they stand in the presence of him, to be judged of him according to the truth and holiness which is in him. Wherefore, the ends of the law which the Holy One hath given, unto the inflicting of the punishment which is affixed, which punishment that is affixed is in opposition to that of the happiness which is affixed, to answer the ends of the atonement—

11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my first-born in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.

12 Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of naught; wherefore there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God and his eternal purposes, and also the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.

So all your boogieman tackic are falling short of the mark!:)
