The New Testament and the Old Testament both view idols and any god but the One True God as inventions of men and are connected with devils. “What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

Once let the iron gate be shut upon the soul and there is no escape. When the ring of fire has once girdled the immortal spirit, none can dash through the flaming battlements. The dungeon is locked. The key is dashed into the abyss of destiny and never can be found. “Fixed is their everlasting state, could they repent ’tis now … Continue reading Hell never looses…

“Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
