C. S. Lewis-- "what oft was said but ne'er so well expressed"
He didn't say that.
But that's what he does. The man is amazing. I found an amazing quote from him, but before you read it, realize that it is based on the assumption that Jesus did at least claim to be God. That much is obviously true. Now for the quote:
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't 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 a 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."
Anyway, I read that today and thought it was cool.
See you soon.
