The ties that bind

The children gather wood, 

and the fathers kindle the fire, 

and the women knead their dough, 

to make cakes to the queen of heaven, 

and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, 

that they may provoke me to anger. 

Jeremiah 7:18

"Though not generally recognized, it is nevertheless a fact that Spiritualism and Romanism are but different phases of one gigantic system of error. 

Both are paganism, 

--the former pure and simple, 

--while the latter has a slight admixture of formal Christianity. 

They are, however, equally antichristian, 

--for the one absolutely denies Christ, 

--while the other gives to the Virgin and to the “saints” the honor which belongs alone to Christ. 

Both are alike dependent, also, for their very existence upon the doctrine of the natural immortality of the soul." 

E.J. Waggoner
