“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: Im ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I dont accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ... Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God.”
—C. S. Lewis, “Mere Christianity”
And another thing about Trinitarians is that many believe a person cannot be saved unless they believe Jesus is God. This flies in the face of the fact that the thief on the cross WAS saved,yet he heard and knew Nothing about the Trinity.
He was repentant and saw that Jesus was a good man who did not deserve to die and asked Him to remember him when He came into his kingdom.
Thanks I love that quote. Have not seen it in years, so great post. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
