man or rabbit
in this essay CS Lewis poses the question of can a man be good without God. He believes that man cannot be good. he explains this by showing how the source is tainted. The man could have good intentions, but without knowing what the right or wrong way to live is you cannot live in a good way. I agree with what CS Lewis says. He makes it clear that man could have good intentions, like wanting to help but not knowing how. In the bible it states that our flesh wants to sin. Adam brought sin into the world and so we have inherited the sinful nature. When we accept Christ into our lives he comes to live inside of us. A little of us dies and a little of Christ shines through. When Christ comes to live in us a little bit we learn to be Christ like. as we fill our lives more and more with him we move away from sin and become "good men." Without Christ we don't have that potential. our every thought points toward evil. Its in our hearts. A man, no matter what he intends to do, can't ever become a really good man without Christ.
