Here are two sites re C.S. Lewis and another one which is related to these issues. Let others decide whether they are "West Texas wackos" or whether you are:
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings ~ Berit Kjos re friendship with C.S. Lewis
The Lord of the Rings: Paganism, Christianity or Syncretized Christianity? ~ re C.S. Lewis
Conforming the Church to the New Millennium & redefining Christianity ~ Berit Kjos
I have spent a lot of time putting things together...scriptures, links, etc. You have either not read that or you have chosen to not believe any of it. You asked more questions about sun god worship which is clearly exposed in the Too Long in the Sun link I posted above in #15. You deny and then stamp your foot like Jezebel demanding more proof to dissuade you of your Unbelief. while you accuse others falsely. Just as He promises to do to those who receive Him and hear His voice, the Holy Spirit streams scriptures through my head of what I could say, but says...to what effect is it to continue a fruitless conversation with someone who resists truth and continues in Unbelief.
If you are having sex with a woman in the dark and think it is your wife and then you turn on the light, open your eyes and see it is another woman...you are a whoremonger and adulterer. If you continue without repenting, you are worse. GET OUT OF BED WITH THE WHORE! REPENT! Same principle applies to strange gods and false doctrines.
Here are some thing you might look up:
The L~rd went around healing people. The Bible doesn't mention specifically the healing of gall bladders, migraine headaches, thyroids, legs growing longer, high blood pressure, heart conditions and so on. It speaks specifically and often of those He healed who were DEAF, BLIND, DUMB and LAME. There is a huge spiritual picture there! Consider it!
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
As you have stated, I do understand what you are saying and agree with it to a great extent. On the doctrine of the Biblical instruction, I agree. But, you forget that I am an atheist.
As far as Christian doctrine is concerned, I think you make the mistake of using tactics of condemnation and not those of conviction. Have you the ability to understand the difference?
And please friend, the bold, italic and capitilization combinations are just too hard to read. Do use them, but more sparingly, as to make the text easier to read.
I will also refer you to Christ's message to the seven churches. Read them carefully. Christ also defined His Church in the Gospels - - 'Wherever two or more of you are gathered for my namesake, there shall I be in your midst...' This is the Church as defined by your God.
Be careful of the condemnation tactic, it lends no credibility to your argument and does not edify others' understanding. It only makes you appear as one who lusts after ecclesiastical authority.
