“. . . Beware of being wise above that which is written. Beware of
forming fanciful theories of your own, and then trying to make the Bible
square with them. Beware of making selections from your Bible to suit
your taste. Dare not to say, ‘I believe this verse, for I like it. I
refuse that, for I cannot reconcile it with my views.’ Nay! but, O man,
who art thou that repliest against God? By what right do you talk in
this way? Surely it were better to say, over every chapter in the word,
‘Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.’ Ah! if men would do this, they
would never deny the unquenchable fire.”
