See my post nr. 60...

I think people who love the teachings of Christ should not be condemned, but rather encouraged.

A dear friend of me brought me to Christ that way...

The only book he wrote that I was less than completely knocked over by (and I think I have read almost all), was That Hideous Strength.

Which is interesting...it's my favorite of the three, and one of two C.S. Lewis books that my mother wouldn't let me read until I was well into high school. (The other was "Till We Have Faces".) It was clunky in places, but something about it just gets me...all the "descent of the gods" bit just blew me away. And the portrayal of Mark is IMO beautifully spot-on.

C.S. Lewis. The man had a mind as sharp as a razor.

Dittos that. This whole semester I just finished today, I had very little time to just relax. Now with four weeks off, I can kick back and read different Lewis books again. :o)

Jesus is king... thank God I found that out before my death. Thank God that Divine Grace is so powerful that it destroys all others.

Protestant belief system is nice and ornate... as a derivative of Catholicism... tough being a derivative.

Think an American paper would publish this during the "holiday" season?

"Born Again" means that one states to himself and God that he accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.

I don't know of a verse anywhere in the New Testament that refers to "accepting" Christ.

If you have a problem with semantics, use "believe".
