I imagine myself in the eternity standing and waiting in an endless queue of thankful people who want to express their thankfulness to mr. Lewis for his marvellous explanations and humble interpretations of the holy scriptures. In the eternity there certainly is plenty of time to wait for my turn...
Something I found to be really interesting in my study of biblical scriptures is that you and I, as well as Mr. Lewis and the other believers, will know each other. In the same since that you know yourself and probably even better. I'm not the original proprietor of this theory but when looking at the book of Matthew, chapert 17, verse 2-4; "2)There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3)Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4)Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”" It seems that the disciples KNEW Moses and Elijah even though they had died hundreds of years earlier and had no idea what they looked like. One could try and surmise that Jesus had mentioned thier names but nothing of the sort was recorded. I would also, if allowed, like to imagine that the transfiguration would be something unforgettable and if they could have heard what was being said would have recorded it. So. I guess we'll all see each other on the other side haha.
@@tedtheman i don't think their just gone. From what I've studied we'll all know each other like Christ knows us. The mount of transfiguration is a good example. Elijah and Moses appeared to Jesus and the disciples knew then. Even though Moses and Elijah had been dead for hundreds of years. My relationship with my wife has been terrible lol she would bash me for being a Christian and trying to do right but at the same time support abortion lol so I'm pretty content with it JUST being Jesus up there. Although, there are going to be a LOT more people than just Jesus. Summary? Its going to be so much more than what we could imagine, I doubt we'll care whos there at the time but, we will KNOW each other. Even you and I will be like the closest friends and that gets my so excited lol we'll both be up there and I'll be like "hey, I know you!" LOL idk honestly, their not just gone though.
@@dr.zoidberg5096 I find that on occasion the Holy Spirit points out other Christians to you , without them saying or doing anything , you just KNOW they are , so I agree with your statement that we will know each other in heaven
@@tedtheman Mat 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
I couldn’t believe he went there with that sentence. I have relatives in US mainline churches who are in the same predicament, serving as missionaries to the “priests” in their own church. What a sad state of affairs.
Slander upon slander, lie upon lie... Now I understand better the words of Plato saying he would never ever write down the most important he had to address only to the qualified man. Diferently than a present man, the book cannot defend himself and his author against slander. In the last day, not only Our Lord Jesus Christ shall say "I know ye not". The modern addition to the ancient slander that brought Socrates to death is to be sought, methinks, in Hegel and his dream of a Zeitgeist: "If the facts contradits my theory, the worst for the facts." There are many sins that can be forgiven in this life and in the life to come, except those perpetrated against the Holy Ghost. Woe on these critics.
These wags who think themselves so clever then try to retreat into the "Death of the Author"--"whatever [X] intended, that is not relevant to me, because *I* interpret it as [Y]"--forgetting that they themselves, by the mere act of interpretation, themselves become authors, and I as a reader am free to say: "in that case, I interpret *you* as full of shit".
“As a poet, I´d like not to let go unnoticed my long aquaintance with stupidity, towards whom I did found myself so often in collegial relation(...) But as soon as a man lifts his poetical eyes on her, he is faced with such a fortified resistance against any attempt to describe her - due to the multitidinary power to change into any form as it seems she possesses -, that it goes far beyond all imagination can hold grasp; be it in the pride of a professor in the field of the history of literature, wich, used to aim at distances in time so far and out of gauge, fails disatruously to hit the target on present matters pertaining our actual situation; be it in a ethereal and all encompasing manner, as to the way our critical appraisal has been shifted from its standards by mere comerce since God, in his hardly conceivable goodness, has endowed the filmakers with the gift of human language.” Robert Musil´s lecture On stupidity held in 03/11/1937, Austria. Freely translated from German.
Be careful of pursuing the thrills in life. They burn out faster than any "dry" thing could ever hope. Like Lewis said, "if what is say seems to be answering questions you've never asked, then I say, drop it." I'm paraphrasing. With parentheses lol, ironic?
It's wonderful. Maybe you aren't interested in the topic. I am a Christian who enjoys reading Lewis and has read a lot of biblival criticism, so Iike it. Interest might have a lot to to do with it. Maybe you don't like this sort of thing in general. What do you like to read?

@@dr.zoidberg5096 Im trying to figure out CS Lewis's views on you're wife or loved one in heaven. Sad to think they're just gone

As a practicing dunce in a postmodern cesspool of subjective "truth" lol...I find these works objectively very cool indeed.
Written well!
I can't help but see Aslan's face in the smoke...
The last statement is very prophetic.
I couldn’t believe he went there with that sentence. I have relatives in US mainline churches who are in the same predicament, serving as missionaries to the “priests” in their own church. What a sad state of affairs.
Lewis was, and is, a gift.
The part of his analysis of his critics really drives the point home.
Genesis 17:00 impression 20:00 hit and the Lord of the Rings
21:43 Tiger and lion
24:00 St. Mark and St. Peter
26:00 Homer
27:00
28:00 AB
Great insights into the values of texts and literature . C.S. Lewis is a gift indeed

Is he saying Lewis is a liar? Someone help a layman out.
@@dr.zoidberg5096 haha no, exactly the opposite my friend. :)
Brilliant!
24:00 had me laughing outloud.

This is so dry...
It's absolutely brilliant.
