loves. Or, not. But we still do not say it. All we have to do is rummage through ourselves and say it out loud to the people we
love. It is all within us—the love, the will, the strength, the
courage, and the hope!”

God seems to have allowed the existence of these pretended revelations, in order to prove the immeasurable superiority of His own Word.”
“To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, god, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no god, no angels, no soul.

At what age of the Christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, I do not know. But heresy it certainly is.”
