Andrew's Reviews > Mere Christianity

If this book offends you a little, than good! That is what Christianity does.
If it was a false religion, than it would appease you. Forgive me for being short sighted, as I am an eighth grader, but I think that the reason the world hates Christ is because he is a sin killer, and we are so sinful as a generation that that becoming sinless is like the spiritual version of having your arms and legs cut off. And just as painful. We are addicted to the world, and it's killing us. Christ is the answer, because there is nothing like it.
But for so long, no one outside the church really knew what Christianity was. And that was the churches fault. We sold this
Idea of Jesus being a "great guy" with rules we should follow. That backfired. No one ever listened to great moral teachers in the past. It won't change now. Now most people have half ideas of what Christians are. This first happened in England and Europe. Now, America has caught the secular bug.
Mere Christianity is a book that lays out what all christians should believe and do. If you read this and say,"this is not what I see in Christians", don't freak! We're all works in progress. And some people are farther from god than they see.
Something that is sad and rather annoying is how people use science to back up their atheist non-beliefs. The sad part is that people use the wonderful world god made as a weapon against his church. The annoying part is they use old cast off ideas that newer science has rendered obsolete. I really love 'Case for Christ', which outlines what I'm saying. And I enjoyed how CS Lewis said the next big evolution is spiritual.
I think when people attack Christianity, they either want to destroy it and serve the enemy, or want to be proven wrong. Just wanted to throw that out. God bless you all. Happy reading
