BEWARE OF C.S. LEWIS: A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING

Lewis was not a sound Bible believing Christian. His autobiography, Surprised by Joy, has no statement of the gospel and no born again experience. He held a sacramental view of salvation, saying that it is “spread to us” by “baptism, belief, and... holy communion.” Lewis did not hold to the infallible inspiration of Scripture. He believed that Jonah and Job are not historical books, calling Jonah “a tale” and Job a “vein of typically Jewish humour.” He denied Christ’s substitutionary atonement. He denied the literal six-day creation (calling it “a Hebrew folk tale”). He said, “Man is physically descended from animals” (The Problem of Pain). He said hell is “a state of mind” (The Great Divorce). He believed in purgatory and prayers for the dead. He confessed his sins to a priest. He believed it is possible to be saved without believing in Christ, and he said that “many of the good Pagans long before Christ’s birth” may have been saved (Mere Christianity). In the popular Chronicles of Narnia series, which has influenced countless children, Lewis taught that those who sincerely serve the devil (called Tash) are actually serving Christ (Aslan) and will eventually be accepted by God.
