Dualism in philosophy now means there are two ontologies, matter and spirit for example. As opposed to monist belief, like atheistic materialism. In 2020 most people would assume you mean that. Older people, especially Christians, mean what Lewis is saying: two ultimate and co-equal divinities.
@@miapia5890 No the primary presumption about what is meant by the term... has changed. Decades ago it was assumed that the term meant two ultimate and co-equal divinities, and if someone meant that they were good and did not need to clarify or provide contextual cues to indicate. Then it slowly changed such that a person could mean either, depending upon context. But now we’ve reached the place where it is strongly assumed that the term “dualism” is being proposed as opposed to monism. So, what I originally wrote is correct. You made a good guess to claim it could mean either and that there was no real default, but your guess was wrong. There *is* an assumed, default meaning. And many years ago, there also was, but that default has changed.
What exactly is evil about allowing suffering? I ask this because if one holds to the idea that all choices lead to blessings and consequences and the parameters of each have been explained, it would be against God's word to keep suffering away. The assumption here is that suffering is bad in the first place. I mention choices because if one dismisses the parameters of consequences and blessings through choices, then is mad at a God they say doesn't exist because they suffered from that choice, is miserably self defeating. If one then expresses That not all suffering necessarily happens due to choice, then one must explain what is so wrong with that suffering for the future is not in the now.
Please study the Word of GOD: suffering and death came into this world because of sin! Before sin everything was perfect. Through JESUS CHRIST we can go back to paradise - thank HIM for this before it's too late!
@@RPe-jk6dv nope, it’s a fallen world. So the consequences of Eating from the Tree and Disobeying led to our demise thus leading to Fallen World Dilemmas
6:10 I fail to see how labeling our enemies as mentally deformed is any better than labeling them born evil. It's really only a question of whether you prefer Soviet style indoctrination or Fascist style extermination. Now yes, sometimes we deem good evil and evil good but we're also not omniscient. God is and is making moral judgements based on us knowing He exists or at least being convinced to a reasonable amount.
I don't think it's meant to be entertaining friend. He's an English Christian philosopher who wrote a book called "The Abolition of Man". Maybe they can get Kevin Hart to do the audiobook for you and spice it up a piece
He was an Oxford professor and wrote these remarks in a book. . He did not read them out loud. It is difficult to listen to his words being read , I agree

A truly brilliant man.

who is almighty and let suffering be can not be good.

Free will.
@@hunniebe6 1. free will is a delusion like god.
2. is someone poor or starving by his own will?

what would C.S. have to say of today?
I am certain he'd have a lot to say indeed
Thanks

Wonderful
Tell me why he sounds like the vampire from the dark brotherhood in Oblivion
Because Ralph Cosham was a very talented voice actor
What a comforting voice.

I don’t like the way C.S Lewis phrases things seems too thick and boring
