Genesis 3:4-5

4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

It was Satan's first lie; it worked, so he still uses it.

Satan's first lie? Keep reading, perhaps you can explain why God say this just a few verses later:

Genesis 3:22

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

The lie wasn't about man becoming as God, it was about man living forever after the fall... which he would have btw, if God hadn't protected the tree of life with an Angel and sword.

BTW, since you think C.S. Lewis is a follower of Satan's lie, perhaps you might want to tell all your evangelical friends who forked out big bucks to see "Narnia; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" that it was all a lie.

GeeGollyWally, if they only knew the truth!!

And lest you think otherwise, I forgot to add that I thought Narnia was brilliant, both the books and movie. C.S. Lewis was truly a master Christian storyteller. Those with ears to hear, hear it plainly. The atonement of Christ is real, and he certainly got it... and told of it!

Are you claiming that C.S. Lewis was a Mormon?

He did NOT say...
