Mere Christianity E7 - The Invasion
Manage episode 477876432 series 3640443
In this episode of Leading Inward we dive into Mere Christianity focusing on the concept of dualism and why it is considered incorrect. The conversation starts with defining 'absence' and the complexities of reality as discussed by Lewis. We ponder whether simplicity or complexity is more beautiful and discuss why God may have made things complicated. The discourse also covers the concept of dualism, explaining Lewis's argument that evil is merely the absence of good, and the practical implications of this idea. The episode concludes with an exploration of living in 'enemy territory' and how Christians should respond to the ongoing spiritual battle, drawing inspiration from biblical verses.
