BEWARE OF C.S. LEWIS

This is from the Way of Life web site concerning CS Lewis. The man was an apostate and a heretic!

Consider the popular author C.S. LEWIS. 

(1) He Promoted ecumenism. (In the book Mere Christianity he said that Christianity is a large house with many different acceptable rooms, such as Catholicism, Protestantism, etc.) 
(2) He denied the substitutionary atonement of Christ.
(3) He believed in theistic evolution.
(4) He rejected the Bible as the infallible Word of God.
(5) He denied the doctrine of an eternal fiery hell.
(6) He believed in prayers for dead and confessed his sins to a priest.
(7) He claimed that followers of pagan religions can be saved without faith in Jesus Christ: 

“There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence... Many of the good Pagans long before Christ’s birth may have been in this position” (C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, HarperSanFrancisco edition, 2001, pp. 64, 208, 209).

Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnias intertwines a few vague biblical themes with pagan mythology: nymphs, fauns (part man and part goat), dwarfs, centaurs (part man and part horse), Dryads (tree-women), and Naiads (well-women). All of these creatures are depicted as serving Aslan, the alleged Christ figure. Lewis presents the deeply heretical idea of good magic. He calls Aslan’s power “Deep Magic” and Aslan’s father’s power as “Emperor’s Magic.” He introduces the pagan god Bacchus and his orgies as a desirable thing. He presents the myth of “Father Christmas.” He teaches that Adam’s first wife was not Eve but rather a woman named Lilith and that she was a witch.
