Hey got a question everyone. What do you think being turned to stone might symbolize and what would Aslans breath symbolize then. Just curious really what you guys think about that and all.

I understand it. But I am not sure -- in Edmind's case there was culpability, and in Tumnus' too, they each did something they knew was wrong (although Tumnus tried to mend his ways), so in that way, they could be "deserving" of the punishment, but the others who were turned to stone -- like the little party having their Christmas dinner -- they had not rejected Aslan in anywhere or betrayed anyone.borntofly said:If you don't undertand what I'm say, forgive me, everything sounds better in my head than when I write it out.
that makes sense. that's what being turned into stone represents! and then, becasue of Aslan's death and ressurection, everyone was turned loose from their bonds of sin by the breath of Aslan!inkspot said:But then again, from a Christian point of view, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, so everyone is deserving of punishment in some way, maybe that is what the turning to stone represents: life without Christ, life outside Aslan, that we all deserve, if not for his saving grace.
