Re: Quotes and Quips - "enable men to become sons of God"
The quote stated on the homepage of LC Discussions today is: "The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." (From CS Lewis' Mere Christianity)
This is a much better way to state this mystery than, "God became man so that man could become God." The relationship of father and son is a close one, to be sure, but the Bible doesn't say that sons become the Father. Jus' sayin'
