Catholic all my life, finding so much value in these writings of CS Lewis. Each one could be listened to many times to soak up the content. Thank you for posting.
I was first acquainted with C.S. Lewis, as a child, early sixties, the Narnia series, and never knew of his deep theological mind and faith. I believed in God, the Creator, as a boy, because I saw intelligent design in everything in nature, and the way people did things. I came to God after time overseas, in the eighties, and have never turned back. I've been astonished, and greatly blessed, educated, by a good number in the last couple weeks. He is a brilliant man, and great philosopher, excellent apologist. He has truly expanded my thinking, and reasoning, my faith.
I honestly think even in the thought of one's own self going to hell there might be a sort of wishful thinking, to paraphrase Lewis in the pilgrims regress, it's one thing to try to get a splinter out of your own finger because if worse comes to worse you could always give up and let it sit there and put up with the pain, but it's another thing to let someone else fiddle with it and take it out and hurt it as much as he sees fit. Maybe there's something a wickedly comforting about the idea of slinking back into the bus from the great divorce to retreat back to hell to wallow and stew and be a wretched little sinner compared with the idea that we each have an inescapable devine destiny to become holy, sanctified, glorified sons of God.
The assumption that everything came from nothing is ridiculous, only a fool cannot see the fingerprints of a supreme being all around us, I buy the God of Christianity because it works and because it's true.
@@mavisemberson8737 The countries with the highest Cv vaccination rates are the ones with the highest infections, hospitalisations and death rates. In the Uk there have been more than 1700 officlaly recorded deaths and 1.2 million adverse events. The fact that the majority of doctors and scientists have said nothing confirms my hypothesis. They are as venal as the worst ones depicted by Lewis in his sci-fi trilogy.
@@proudhon100 Perhaps your hypothesis was faulty in the first place.and perhaps your correlation is not proof of causation... and just perhaps the scientists say nothing for that reason. Can you prove your hypothesis?
@@mavisemberson8737 I repeat, the countries with the highets vaccination rates have the higest numbers of cases and deaths. Those - like Burundi - with almost no vaccinations, have the lowest number of covid deaths. Pharmaceutical companies need to show that their poisonous potions are not causing this since the link and the causation is obvious. You only refuse to accept this if your mind has been poisoned by the propaganda spewed by the television and the mass media. Lewis would say that you are suffering from scientism.
Adhddara on UA-cam is currently maybe trolling. But fuck I live this shit but I’m trying to get this business off the floor and there’s only 9 comments in clives/jacks incredible essays.

I love listening to his deep wisdom 😌
These are amazing readings. Thank you kindly for sharing this.
Read more slowly, never be in a hurry while sharing brilliance.
CS thought fast on toes. Peace
I agree. Although i solve it by playing at 0.75x
Gotta love any essay using “incredibilia”.
Brilliant

Wise man
Love
Wisdom will find its own.
Just got here after watching Amy Schumer. The algorithm don't know what to do with me. #sadbois
I hope you stayed here. It is quite a pleasant place.
Better than a sermon.
Amen🙏🙏

Christ in Hebrew gemetria and the word Christ appears 555 times in the Bible. God bless you 🙏
CS fell asleep in class on the day they explained Bayes' theorem.
And you were asleep the day they taught Rene Guenon - Reign of Quantity and signs of the times. There's always a bigger fish mate.
Lol. Seems you missed the entire talk
Hypotheses by scientists and belief by scientists is contrasted
And then there is the question of scientists who say Injections are safe just to keep their jobs and promotion prospects.
@@proudhon100 No. Your hypothesis must be treated sceptically and scientifically.
