They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and they claim that their writings are divine rather than human in origin.”

“Don’t you remember on earth—there were things too hot to touch with your finger but you could drink them all right? Shame is like that. If you will accept it—if you will drink the cup to the bottom—you will find it very nourishing: but try to do anything else with it and it scalds.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
