“Christ did not come to civilize. He came to save. Civilization is not the solution; it does not destroy the works of the devil. All civilization aims at world improvement, at the gradual elimination of the curse; it is a process of evolution. It is like a man who is suffering from a terrible disease, and the physician who comes to help him gives him a salve to apply. He treats the skin symptoms but the source of the disease he never considers and never touches. Such is a boasted and progressive civilization. It is a delusion.” MenWorldGivingDoeHelpingChristianSufferingProcessChristSourceEvolutionTerribleCivilizationDiseaseSolutionsDevilSkinsTreatsAimImprovementCurseDelusionProgressivePhysiciansSymptomsElimination Author:Arno C.
