"I remember," says C.S. Lewis, "Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions, but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say hate the sin but not the sinner. For a long time, I used to think this a silly straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life - namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it."

      • The angels are not to be worshipped, but Jesus is - (1:6)

    • It's ironic that the way for Christ to reign over the world to come is by being made lower than the angels for a little while in in this world

      • He delivers us from spiritual slavery (2:15)
