Found him friendly, but he, assisted by his brother, began again to annoy me about Mahomet, Paradise, and hell-fire. I told them, "All good people, whatever their creed, must be blessed with the favour of God. Such was the native sentiment in all our hearts." Kafah said, "Many English have turned Mussulmans." I told him very few, and those mostly good-for-nothing runaways.
Mine is a merciful God, who gives rest to animals, trees, and men when they are dead." "Could there be a more obstinate sinner! You will go to hell-fire to the tortures of the damned!" "Show me where the Bible says that God created hell, and I will believe you." "Oh, you pagan! You will be denying the existence of the devil next," cried the priest in a rage.
After all the preaching and writing about eternal death, damnation, hell-fire and brimstone as a result of Adam's sin, I could not find any such doctrine taught in the story of the fall, nor anywhere else in the Old Testament, and but very vaguely, if at all, in the New.
And she'd of killed you, Pierre, if I hadn't took you away. "You see, I was married before I met Irene. So there ain't no alibi for me. I just acted the hound. But me being so close to hell now, I look back to that time, and somehow I see no wrong in it still. "And if I done wrong then, I've got my share of hell-fire for it.
"Look here, you Joe Woods!" he cried out. "And listen, too, you Blenham! I'm no trouble-seeker; I know it's a dead easy thing to start a row that will see more than one man dead before it's ended, and what's the use? But I mean to have what is mine in spite of you and Hell-Fire Packard and the devil!
You remember those new Boer shells that blew a lot of us to kingdom come, and poisoned the rest?" "Yes," answered Orme; "I remember; but now they have stronger stuffs azo-imides, I think they call them terrific new compounds of nitrogen. We will inquire to-morrow, Sergeant." "Yes, Captain," he answered; "but the point is, who'll pay? You can't buy hell-fire in bulk for nothing.
O God, deliver our necks from hell-fire, O thou God of the old house!" I could not stay longer than five minutes; the heat was so great that I almost fainted, and several persons were carried out with great difficulty, quite senseless.
The supposition that the terrors of hell-fire are essential or even conducive to good morals is contradicted by the facts of history. In the Dark Ages there was not a man or woman from Scotland to Naples, who doubted that sinners were sent to hell. The religion which they had was the same as ours, with this exception, that everyone believed in it.
He was sorry that God had made him a man. He 'blessed the condition of the birds, beasts, and fishes, for they had not a sinful nature. They were not obnoxious to the wrath of God. They were not to go to hell-fire after death. He recalled the texts which spoke of Christ and forgiveness. He tried to persuade himself that Christ cared for him.
Cattle and horses along her road awoke from their dozing in the moonlight, perhaps leaped to the conclusion that it was old Hell-Fire himself in their midst, flung their tails aloft and scampered to right and left, and Terry's car stood in front of Packard's door.
