He converted me to Christianity when I was a teen. I've always regretted he had already passed, for I could never meet him in person. Not for this lifetime, that is.

His mind is what attracted me first, his clarity along with it, his elegance of articulation a dressing I loved from the first. But what really got to me was his heart: his humility, his calm, his humor, his insight, his warmth, his consideration, his gentleness, and his compassion. And more. His Christianity breathed as he breathed, and he breathed Christianity. Rather, he breathed Christ. It's how I really knew that Christ is Life, and came to believe.

I've heard it said that miracles are the suspension of natural law but I believe miracles are nature simply obeying the will of its Creator. Christ created the atoms so when he needs them to take a specific shape and composition they do. When he wants them to take the form of water they do, when he wants them to hold him up they do that. Creation can not disobey its Creator. I'm sure I haven't fully explained myself on this but this is my thought on it.

Every changed heart & mind and renewed life, through rebirth in the spirit of Jesus Christ, is a miracle.

Every time I read or listen to this man's mind I am dumbstruck and enlightened by his clear, concise genius. A mind awake indeed; and you need to be awake to listen or you'll be going over what he just said again and again. That's why I've read Mere Christianity so many times. Fountains of living water.

CS Lewis is my far ahead of most preachers God really did something to him I know he is in resting in peace amen

He was the influential person to me. Then I met Christ at the Catholic Church.

Such clarity of thought. Grateful for C.S. Lewis. ✝️💗

[mclionc]

Such wonderful wisdom. As nice as it is to listen to C.S Lewis, just imagine if we could listen to the wisdom God gave Solomon.

[abdieljp]

His book Mere Christianity is simply stunning. It should be read by everyone who calls himself Christian.

This man was a genius. He makes so much sense. God bless him. He did so much great work in the name of our Lord. 🙏❤️😃🙏

Witnessing ghosts multiple times in my life is a big part of my belief in God. The existence of our self-awareness and consciousness is also a big part of that belief. And of course, the magnificent beauty and perfect balance of the natural world brings it all home for me.

C.S. Lewis was a real gem. What a truly amazing man.

I finally found the real answer to the question why some people come to accept christ and others don't. As C.S Lewis wrote in his book 'Surprised by joy the shape of my early life' He suddenly came to understand a fact about himself. That he was holding something at Bay. He saw it as a door a door that he could either open or choose to keep shut. And he chose to open it. And the great truth is that every man From the most fanatical Islamic terrorist. To those who live decent lives. All of them are given a chance to open that door that they see the door before them and they can choose either to open it and accept the Lord or keep it closed and reject him. And it is this question that for years I have pondered pondered and sought an answer and I finally got it this dayAnd it is this question that for years I have pondered pondered and sought an answer and I finally got it this day. Glory to God forever, AMEN!

This is not only one of Lewis’ greatest speeches, it is one of the single greatest things I have ever heard. Profoundly, clearly TRUTH.

[sparkyy]

What a beautiful mind.
Thanks for sharing.
God Bless you all.

A Logician. Sad that logic and critical thinking are not core subjects in school any longer. It is such a pleasure to hear a well-articulated argument. In the economics world, Thomas Sowell, 91, is the closest I know of who expresses his arguments as cleanly.

[newsiheargr]

Miracles are merely the natural workings of the Infinite God as explained by our finite minds.

[jeffertron]

Lewis and his thoughts on reverse entropy of the universe are mind boggling. It doesn't help explain instances of Moses's staff turning into a snake, but it does explain the resurrection, healing a blind man, and any reverse/stationary process that mirrors natural order.

His voice sounds just like Vernon Coleman. I love your voice. It’s so soothing.

Luke Chapter 16
1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write four score.
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteousness mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, commiteth adultery and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband commiteth adultery.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivest thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: But now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
