God's religion is spiritual!
Spurgeon, "Seeing Is Not Believing, but Believing Is Seeing"
We need no altar, or vestments, or other paraphernalia.
We preach the gospel, and exhort men to faith in
Christ, and have no need of robes, and architecture,
and rubrics, and ceremonies. All that may sound very
pretty; I think it shamelessly infantile- to me it looks
like a return to the absurd superstitions of the dark ages.
I have no more reverence for their genuflections,
performances, and theatricals, than for the incantations
of an old hag who pretends to be a witch! There is
nothing manly, much less divine, in the new-fangled
Romanism.
God's religion is spiritual, theirs is carnal and sensuous.
