Excerpt from Rome Against the Bible, and the Bible Against Rome, Vol. 7: Or Pharisaism, Jewish and Papal IN the days of his flesh, Jesus Christ charged upon the expounders of the Mosaic institute, that they had taken away the key of knowledge. They deprived the people of the means of attaining to the knowledge of the kingdom of God. Sound knowledge is a key to unlock the mysts ries Of redemption. Without it no man can effect an entrance into life. Where there is no vision, the people perish. So important is divine know ledge that by a figure of speech it is often put for the whole of religion. The great duty of all religious teachers is to make known the truths of revelation, to open and explain the Scriptures. Thus men are led to understand, love and prac tise the will of God revealed for their salvation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
