“You know, you can name your dog an “heir” & give him/her much upon your death. (That doesn’t convert that dog into a human being)”
Take it to St. Paul the Apostle who said we are “joint heirs” with Christ Jesus. It is rather insulting to bring up dogs in this context but it’s a free country on FreeRepublic - you can say whatever you want, unless you’re a Mormon, that is. Have a great day!
There never was a point that Christ wasn't divine. (Or are you claiming that He wasn't divine at some point)
Since He was always divine, then obviously His "heirship" didn't involve becoming a god.

And so now, by implication--by parallel--you accuse C.S. Lewis of writing "insulting" things?
C.S. Lewis once described the incarnation as like a man becoming a frog to save all the frogs of the world.
The situations are all analogous: Pre Christ's incarnation, there existed a greater gap between Christ and man than there is between a dog & humanity or between frogs & humanity.
