The fairy tale version of the missionary story

I admit that I didn't pay much attention to Narnia I at the time, and I was attracted by the gorgeous and delicate pictures in it. Glancing at the ending: the four adults who have grown up accidentally walked back to the magic wardrobe and returned to the world, and they turned back to the children of the year, and it was like a lifetime. ——So I am very envious of those four and yearn for Narnia.

Now that I am in Narnia II, I am sitting in the theater sincerely, but the more I look at it, the more wrong it is. The film's pictures, special effects, sound effects, actors, and technical aspects are indeed all exquisite and perfect. But that's just the perfect icing. Try replacing Aslan the Lion with God, it's like a missionary movie.

This is a missionary story, isn't it? A missionary story wrapped in a fairy tale, right?

The Lion King Aslan, looks like the Narnia version of God, as long as Aslan appears, no matter how big the disadvantage can be reversed, everything can be solved. Only those who believe in Aslan wholeheartedly can see Aslan, such as little sister Lucy. Others, such as eldest brother Peter and Prince Caspian, who doubted Aslan's appearance, were punished by defeat.

Therefore, in the face of the omnipotent and omniscient God, all struggles and efforts of small human beings are futile and ridiculous and useless. All we can, and should do, is to sincerely trust in Almighty God and pray with all our heart and soul that Almighty God will come and save us, just as Lucy did. Compared with the desperate but desperate fight between Peter and Caspian, the divine help that the little sister sought was more effective.

For the Lion King Aslan, this land, this sky, and this world all belong to the Lion King as a matter of course. For the humble creatures living on this land, only those who believe in me can gain eternal life. Good people and bad people For Lord Lion King, there is only one criterion for judging—whether or not to believe in Aslan. As long as you believe in me, as long as you submit to me, you are the party of justice, and I will swiftly defeat your opponent and let you win. The good people chosen by the Lion King must stand on the moral commanding heights, because the Lion King is omnipotent and can never go wrong. In other words, only the chosen people of the Lion King can live in the land of Narnia. Other pagans, like the Telmarans in the film, can only get out of the way to the inexplicable island, which is called back. Where their ancestors should be, they actually lost the right to survive and develop in Narnia.

Is it true that for Westerners who believe in God, we, the yellow-skinned people who do not believe in God, are like the Telmarians, we should maintain an "original" existence in the small corner that the Westerners have assigned to us. , should not develop, and should not seek a better survival. In other words, it was a great tolerance for Aslan to give the Telmars a little space to survive. right?
