You CONSISTENTLY do not understand what others are writing. That is YOUR problem not theirs. N.B. Da 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

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:

Mr 9:24 on help thou my unbelief.
Joh 20:27 on Thomas and be not faithless, but believing.
In GALATIONS: "another gospel" and the consequences...cursing.
Heb 3, "an evil heart of unbelief."
2 Tim 3 for "a form of godliness...denying THE POWER...from such turn away"
Look at "deceiv* many" -- Mt 24:5,11; Mr 13:6; Lu 21:8; Tit 1:10; 2Jo 1:7
Ro 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Mt 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
And this: 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;...

That's a start. Work out your own salvation. Pray and ask the L~rd.

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.

You have either not read that or you have chosen to not believe any of it.

Actually, I have read what you've written and it's not that I chose not to believe it but rather that I found it just too bizarre to take seriously. Your writings are kind of like Escher's drawings in the way that they both show real things juxtaposed together so that they end up being total nonsense. Then you turn around and deny the plain meaning of what you've said. It's fascinating for a while but the fun wears off quickly.

One of the pages you sent me to was C.S. Lewis, the Devil's Wisest Fool. It discusses Lewis' "sun worship" here and discusses Lewis' descent "further into the depths of Satan" here. I'm sure you're proud of them.

Da 12:10. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

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.
