This whole theory of 'salvation, and indeed the theory that there is anything to be 'saved' from, seems to be based upon a misunderstanding of a few texts of scripture. We do not believe in this idea of a so-called divine wrath; we think that to attribute to God our own vices of anger and cruelty is a terrible blasphemy.
"Father don't say anything you might be sorry for afterwards! Yes, you have guessed truly. I love Nancy! If the man is dead and I trust to God he is I hope to marry her some day. If if you and Mr. Stephens are right if he is still alive well then " he waited a moment, and that moment was the longest the Senator had ever known "then, father, I promise you I will come home.
Thus like the prodigal's brother, he pleadeth, saying, "Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment." But go on in thine oration: "Nor yet as this Publican." Poor wretch, quoth the Pharisee to the Publican, What comest thou for? Dost think that such a sinner as thou art shall be heard of God?

And then he asked that we might be made faithful and worthy of God, whose battle it was. Then we all stood up and shook hands with him in silence, and every man knew a covenant was being made. But none saw his meeting with Nixon. He sent us all away before that. Nothing was heard of the destruction of the hotel stock-in-trade.
Mishael and Elzaphan, who had attended to the burial of Nadab and Abihu, were godly men, anxious to fulfil the commandments of God, hence they went to the house where Moses and Aaron instructed the people, and said to them: "We are defiled by the dead body of a man; wherefore are we kept back that we may not offer an offering of the Lord in His appointed season among the children of Israel?"
'How can any one that would speak as the oracles of God use harder words than are to be found here? By this I advise every young preacher to form his style! 'He who aspires to be a great poet as sublime as Milton must first become a little child! declares the greatest of all littérateurs.
