"THE first falsehood ever told in this world was told in Eden by the prince of ruin.
In that falsehood he promised the mother of the human race that if she would disobey God, so far from dying as a penalty, mankind would advance in glory and honor. These are his words:
--God had warned them that the penalty for disobedience would be death.
--Satan contradicted God, and promised them immunity from the execution of that decree, with tremendous advantages besides.
Spiritism is using all its powers of eloquence and deceit to prove to the race that God told the falsehood and Satan told the truth.
--The chief burden of Spiritism is to prove that the dead are not really dead, but have simply entered upon another sphere of existence, and are able to communicate with us (though this is plainly contradicted by the Bible);
--and the next great burden is to bolster up the satanic idea that men are becoming gods through processes following death."
