Book Discussion - Mere Christianity - Book 1

Notes

• Lewis was an amateur, not a beginner.
• Among Christians, this book is highly acclaimed and considered as an extra gospel to the bible
• Clearing up terminology
  • Gentleman - Coat of arms and owned land. Fact.
  • Gentleman - Honorable and someone who meant well. Opinion
  • Christian means someone who accepts Christ - To say he is not a Christian is therefore incorrect if you do not know what the person thinks and we should not JUDGE.
  • One can more clearly say, they are a bad Christian, but not that they are NOT a Christian. Who are we to judge?

Law of Human Nature

• Why we fight and quarrel - something inside of us tells us something is right or wrong, because we are not taught.
