HANDBAG PURSE: That object is to conceal the real meaning of Christ's teaching and to replace it by their own, handbag purse lays no obligation on handbag purse excludes the possibility of understanding the true teaching of Christ, and what is the chief consideration, justifies the existence of priests supported at the people's expense. What else has Catholicism done, what else is it doing in its prohibition of reading the Gospel, and in its handbag purse for unreasoning submission to Church authorities and to an infallible Pope? Is the religion of Catholicism any other than that handbag purse the Russian Church? There is the same external ritual, the same relics, miracles, and wonder-working images of Notre Dame, and the same processions; the same loftily vague discussions of Christianity in books and sermons, and when it comes to practice, the same supporting of the present idolatry. And isHANDBAG PURSE: not handbag purse same thing done in Anglicanism, Lutheranism, and every denomination of Protestantism which has been formed into a church? There is handbag purse same duty laid on their congregations to believe in the dogmas expressed in the fourth century, which have lost all meaning for men of our times, and the same duty of idolatrous worship, if not of relics and ikons, then of the Sabbath Day and the letter of the Bible. There is handbag purse the same handbag purse directed to concealing the real duties of Christianity, and to putting in their place an external respectability and cant, as it is so well described by the English, who are peculiarly oppressed by it. In Protestantism this tendency is specially remarkable because it has not the excuse of antiquity. And does not exactly the same thing show itself even in contemporary revivalism--the
HANDBAG PURSE: revived Calvinism and Evangelicalism, to which the Salvation Army owes its origin? Uniform is the attitude of all the churches to the teaching of Christ, whose name they assume for their own advantage. The inconsistency of all church forms of religion with handbag purse teaching of Christ is, of course, the reason why special efforts are necessary to conceal this inconsistency from people. Truly, the need only imagine ourselves in the position of any grown-up man, not necessarily educated, even the simplest man of the present day, who has picked up the ideas that are everywhere in the air nowadays of geology, physics, chemistry, cosmography, or history, when he, for the first time, consciously compares handbag purse with the handbag purse of belief instilled into him in childhood, and maintained by the churches--that God created the world in handbag purse days, and light before the
HANDBAG PURSE: sun; that Noah shut up all the animals handbag purse his ark, and so on; that Jesus is also God the Son, who created all before time was; that this God came down upon earth to atone for Adam's sin; that he rose again, ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father, and will come in the handbag purse to judge the world, and so on. All these propositions, elaborated by men of the fourth century, had a handbag purse meaning for men of that time, but for men of to-day they have no meaning whatever. Men of the present day can repeat these words with their lips, but believe them they handbag purse For such sentences as that God lives in heaven, that the heavens opened and a voice from somewhere said something, that Christ rose again, and ascended somewhere
HANDBAG PURSE: in heaven, and again will come from somewhere on the clouds, and so on, have no meaning for us. A man who regarded the heavens as a solid, finite vault could believe or disbelieve that God created the heavens, that the heavens opened, that Christ handbag purse into heaven, but for us all these phrases nave no sense whatever.
