Fait accomplis

  1. How is someting Jesus said a "Lewis-ism?"
  2. How do you know your interpretation is correct?
1. We don't know that Jesus said it do we? It could have been written by a person with a similar mind to Lewis, by mind of Lewis I mean this:

"I will only present a limited number of options to you in the hope that you pick one, or at least feel some compulsion to pick one, thus closing the debate down to the topics of my chosing".

I refer to such a passage as a Lewis-ism. No temporal causality implied!

2. I don't, and I apologize for making it look it is. But it might be. The very fact that I can posit alternatives to the two choices given at all shows that the two choices given are not enough, doesn't it?
