    My rock bottom came one night and I felt terror and despair throughout my being. I made no excuse for my sins, I begged for God to forgive me. I did not want to ever sin again. I did not ever want to disappoint Him again. Immediately after my prayer to Almighty God, my guilt vanished, my suffering from it vanished, my self loathing vanished. I had genuinely felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I had genuinely experienced what I had heard so many give testimony to, I had genuinely felt the burden and the guilt of sin lifted from me and in its place was left the most incredible peace that no song had ever prepared me for. It is indescribable through words, truly. I was a man who constantly doubted everything, who made negative, everything. I have always been difficult to convince of anything foreign to me and yet of my Salvation there is no doubt. My anger is gone, my envy and greed is gone. My wicked desires are gone and I have a love for this Supreme being we call Almighty God and a desire to only serve Him and worship Him now and always. My every thought is of Him. I feel Him in everything, I see His work in everything. I cannot stop thinking of Him, I don't want to stop thinking of Him. I weep everyday with joy thinking of Him. This is why we were created, to worship Him, to serve Him and to love Him forever. When I think of Heaven, I only want Him. When I think of eternity with Him, it's not long enough. I have literally stood inside a door and pulled myself into the jamb and held it tightly wishing it were Jesus Christ and longing more for Him than my next breath. I cry because I can't contain what is in me and I don't know how to express it into words to tell others. It overwhelms me, it consumes me and I want more and more. I've never been more certain of anything and I want to grab hold of unbelievers and shake them into submission yet I cannot. I can only tell them what God has done for me and that He revealed Himself to me and pray that one day they too will understand the truth as I have.

Very convenient for developing his arguments, and perhaps wisely so, as hinduism was not widely culturally known at the time and therefore irrelevant to his audience, and that conversation could come at another time. But truly hinduism offers the strongest parallels to Christianity, and is therefore it's greatest threat, at least to the literalists and dogmatists

      Have you tried talking to the "casserole ladies" at church? Some of them , not all of them of course,, but some of them are pretty smart...and very well read. In the older generation, married say at home moms often had time to do a lot of reading and writing on their own once their children were grown, and quite a few of them can be very erudite and articulate. Find a middle aged plump married lady at your church who writes for, say, Commonweal or for Friends' Journal, or whatever journal the congregants in your denomination can contribute articles and essays. You'll be pleasantly surprised. As Lewis himself was surprised by Joy Davidman's intellectual vigor....

In that cosmic event, the great struggle of Mithras was to shift the procession of the equinoxes. By overcoming the bull, he symbolised his supreme power to move the entire universe, by shifting the geocentric sphere of the cosmos so that the spring equinox moved out of Taurus the Bull. So he "overcame the universe" too. It was called the“transitus dei Mithrae”, the “moving over” by Mithras.

Jesus “is” the Word and Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Holy Spirit is active and moving. Reading God’s word is like holding an ice cube 🧊 as it melts in your hand it’s reaching deeply into the recesses of your very being. The thing that most don’t realize is that as you read the Bible - it is reading you.

    In the realm of thought, where wisdom weaves its dance,
    C.S. Lewis, with pen, a philosopher's trance.
    He pondered questions, profound and deep,
    In the silence of pages, his ideas would seep.
    "What Are We to Make of Jesus Christ?"
    A query posed, as the sun kissed the mist.
    In the tapestry of faith, where shadows twist,
    Lewis sought truth, in the enigma dismissed.
    With ink as his guide, through the ages he strode,
    In the pages of musings, his spirit abode.
    "What claim has Jesus?" the words would unfurl,
    A quest for meaning, in the heart of the world.
    A carpenter's son, in Bethlehem born,
    A teacher of love, in a world forlorn.
    Messiah or myth, in the fabric of time,
    Lewis dissected the essence, in rhythm and rhyme.
    The Christ of history, with footprints in sand,
    The Jesus of faith, with an outstretched hand.
    Miracles woven in tales of old,
    Lewis grappled with stories, both silver and gold.
    "Lord, liar, or lunatic?" he questioned with might,
    A trilemma pondered, in intellectual light.
    A moral philosopher, in the arena he stood,
    Examining Christ's claims, as only he could.
    Yet, beyond reason's grasp, in the heart's quiet hush,
    Lies the mystery of Christ, a divine, sacred blush.
    In the chambers of faith, where belief takes its form,
    Lewis found solace, amidst the intellectual storm.
    So, in the echoes of Lewis' profound inquiry,
    The question remains, in the soul's sanctuary.
    What are we to make of Jesus divine?
    In the tapestry of faith, let our hearts intertwine.

    Most don’t know that to start with, when C. S. Lewis first started out writing he did not know the Lord Jesus Christ. He learned about Jesus from a friend. In his first writings he is extremely dark (before knowing Jesus). So he learned of Jesus. He investigated and searched for Jesus. After that C. S. Lewis’s writings shows the depth to which he came to know our Lord Jesus the Christ. To me this shows the importance of TALKING about the love of our lives JESUS to EVERYONE. It’s important to remember GOD’S WORD IS ALIVE. As the word says, do not wonder as to what you will say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. What we need to do is to read the Bible continually so that Holy Spirit has much to draw on to give us the words to say. Speak to everyone. You might not know the outcome. Maybe it will take years for a person to come to the Lord, I know, it took me years. I’m grateful to the Lord for all the ones whom he sent to share with me the life saving message of Jesus.

Listening to that voice was the best decision I ever made. God will always keep calling you. It’s just your choice whether you want to hear Him or ignore that feeling deep inside you. Why do you think you keep having that feeling come up? Ask yourself. I mean that honestly.
      Btw I prayed that my comment helps to play some part in bringing you back to God. It’s the least I could do for all He has done for an ex-atheist like me.
      For years I made fun of the Bible. I tried to convince others He didn’t exist. I am so ashamed of that- because when I came back to Him, He blessed me with happiness, wealth, peace and love beyond my wildest dreams. All the things I denied myself for years by turning my back on Him.
      Yes, it was never He that turned his back on me. It was me that turned my back on Him. After all the things I’ve said and done- I’m still loved by Him. I can never go back and change those things... as much as I wish I could. But God doesn’t hold that against me because that’s how perfect His love is.

    Although more philosophical, it reminds me of a Billy Graham sermon on "What are we to do about Jesus, this Man called the Christ". We have to do something. Simple acknowledgement is the same as rejection, because it is not acceptance. I have friends in academia who admit that there was a historical person called Christ, but they have never taken the next step; which is to humble themselves enough to accept Him as their Lord and Savior.

    C.S. Lewis provides some interesting perspective. On the question of "What are we to make of Jesus"? If one disregards all of the accompanying stories of miracles in Jesus' life and simply considers his logic, there can be no question of the unique and profound meaning of it. For instance, "turn the other cheek". That is by all historical accounts of human life, absurd. No one else has ever embraced such a seemingly self destructive philosophy, only him. And yet if we open our thoughts and consider the big picture it becomes far less absurd. We as a species are the Hatfield's and McCoy's. We live by the feud and the creed of an eye for an eye. But who really won between the Hatfield's and McCoy's? They would have all been far better off embracing compassion for one another. What an absurd concept. But Jesus was right. The miracles he performed were just the side perks of learning from a far superior level of understanding.

    It is no fool who trusts he who knows everything: "For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things." - Truly Jesus was God in the flesh, come down in human form to share in our tribulations, and said of such to his disciples before going to the cross:
    "I have spoken these things to you so that in me you might have peace; in the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world," - John 16:33
    And we know "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life has nothing to do with the Father," - 1 John 2:16, wherein we find the truth of Jesus Christ, tempted in all ways but was without sin, but took the penalty for the sins of all mankind and nailed them to the cross so that we might have presence with the Father.
    Father God, this Easter week, let hearts rejoice in your only begotten Son's conquering of sin and death, enabling our presence with you.
    For those lacking conviction, may their hearts be softened in order that they respond to the call of Salvation through their very own conscience - your Holy Spirit, deep within everyone prodding them to respond, though some prefer the darkness.
    Help them see the hopelessness of self-reliance as opposed to the eternal promise and hope Jesus offers us: "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me," - John 14:6

      Isaiah 2:22: "Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils, of what account is he."
      It's been 2,000 years since the death of Christ and his disciples and here we are still debating them; but, who will know of Kilo bravo 66 and Harry Mills 2,000 years from now?
      I happen to be an honors graduate of the Denial and Deception Advanced Studies Program at the National Intelligence University, class of 2008, and it was my job to wade through Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and how they collide with the Middle and Far Eastern and Western ideas of both our forms of democracy as well as Russia's and China's and their each unique forms of Communism.
      Suffice it to say, I found no truer wisdom than Christ's: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
      Happy Easter, even though that must inspire hilarity in your view, I'm sure; but maybe one day you'll recognize what Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes to be true of vanity and man's deceitfulness, especially self-deception - the very worst kind, surrounded by pride...

      I was taught Jesus in Sunday school and day school. It's not something I wanted to do and when I left school I left behind the things of school, not giving them a second thought. At the age of 25 I had a dream, men or at least beings on a high plateau telling me that I was on the road to destruction. I went to a few born again christian meetings with my wife but when we split up it petered out. Then in 1990 I had a revelation. It's a long story but out of the blue at one in the morning it came to me that all this, life as we know it will be swept away and maybe in my life time. I didn't want to believe it, I was devastated and I pushed it away and got on with life. Then in 2003 another strange thing happened. A man outside Doncaster station asked if we had heard the good news, Jesus Christ was born to save sinners and that the end was coming, maybe not in my life time but in the time of a young woman that was present. Now my belief in Jesus is great, I try to walk in faith and read scripture everyday. I see the ruin of man all around me. To be honest I have seen the ruin and degradation of society building for many years but never so intense as it is today. Standards have fallen in almost every area. My advice to all is seek God, pray for your sins and ask forgiveness. Try to be the best you can be and pray for all mankind. Praise be to God, Amen.

    Lewis expresses skepticism that Christ's story is a myth on the grounds that it is not well-written as if the quality of writing has some bearing on divinity. This makes sense to claim as he is himself a great writer, but it presents a problem.
    Is it true that the New Testament is the divine gospel or is it true that the New Testament is a man-written and fallible account? Lewis undermines himself here. In attempting to give importance to the New Testament he implies it is something less than it is, a work of human make that is somehow imperfect instead of what it is, a transcendent piece of scripture delivered to us by God Himself.
    The whole work is an attempt to give Christ a special significance as if Christ's mere existence is specially significant. Christ does not need Lewis to be his spokesman and in trying to be one, Lewis comes off as just as arrogant as he claims false prophets to be.
    This all strikes me as pointless pabulum, honestly. CS Lewis was a fantasy writer and his work only serves to confirm the biases of the already devout. There is no salvation here.

    Parenting gives such an insight to the mind of God and the reason for Christ’s mission. If you’ve ever had a son or daughter who has struggled, who has made bad choices that could or does devastate their lives, you understand the impulse, the desire, to take their burden upon yourself. To suffer so they don’t have to. Because you love your child unconditionally you would, if you could, take the penalty for them... pay their price in order to free them. But because we are not God we cannot take their place, we cannot pay their price. But God can, and did... because we are his children and his love for us is truly the unconditional love of the perfect parent.
