thank you resty - for as lewis goes on to defend the Trinity and make it clear that man will never have the attributes of God, clarifies the use of begotten and makes its usage clear regarding the Father and the Son within the Trinity.
“The Son exists because the Father exists: but there never was a time before the Father produced the Son”. (p 171)
“We are not begotten by God, we are only made by Him: in our natural state we are not sons of God, only (so to speak) statues.”(p. 177)
Lewis is not a closet mormon after all.
Nor is CS Lewis a prophet or the definer of all things Christian. But, he did talk about the divine nature of man on the divine potential of man that has some similarities to Mormon doctrine. The specific quotes from CS Lewis are not mainstream Christian ideas. Is it exact? No. Do all Christians ever agree on all doctrine? Hardly.
Lewis is not a closet mormon after all.
