Status Updates From On the Incarnation: In Mode...

“it was not fitting for the goodness of God that creatures He made should be destroyed because of the devil‘s trickery; it would’ve been better to never have been created at all… such indifference to the destruction of his own work would suggest not goodness in God, but limitation…it was impossible for God to let humans be taken by decay, because it would have been inappropriate and unworthy of Himself.”

“Humans, having turned away from thinking about God to their own evil ideas, ended up under the rule of death. - just as they were created from nothing in the beginning, they were now on their way to returning to nonexistence through corruption. The presence and love of the Word had brought them into being; so when they lost the knowledge of God, they lost their existence too; because only God truly exists.”

C. S. Lewis forward compels us to read old books rather than commentaries on the originals: “firsthand knowledge is not only more worth acquiring than secondhand knowledge, but is usually much easier and more delightful to acquire.” he also reminds us lthat our current age has its own outlook, and we are especially liable to make certain mistakes we need books that will correct the mistakes of our period.”
