The Path to Hell—Vain philosophy is employed in representing the path to hell as a path of safety. With the imagination highly wrought, and voices musically tuned, they picture the broad road as one of happiness and glory. Ambition holds before deluded souls, as Satan presented to Eve, a freedom and bliss for them to enjoy which they never conceived was possible. Men are praised who have traveled the broad path to hell, and after they die are exalted to the highest positions in the eternal world. Satan, clothed in robes of brightness, appearing like an exalted angel, tempted the world’s Redeemer without success. But as he comes to man robed as an angel of light, he has better success. He covers his hideous purposes, and succeeds too well in deluding the unwary who are not firmly anchored upon eternal truth.—The Review and Herald, April 1, 1875. {Ev 609.2}

Stien til helvede. - Tom filosofi bruges til at vise stien til helvede, som en sikker sti. Med en stor indbildning, og stemmer der er musikalske, afbilleder de den brede vej, som en vej i lykke og herlighed. Ærgerrigheden fremholdes for vildledte sjæle, ligesom Satan gjorde det for Eva, at nyde en frihed og lyksalighed som de aldrig troede var mulig. Mennesker som har rejst på den brede vej til helvede lovprises, og efter de er døde ophøjes til de højeste positioner i den evige verden. Satan, iklædt klarhedens klæder, ser ud som en ophøjet engel, fristede verdens Forløser uden succes. Men idet han kommer til mennesket, iklædt som en lysets engel, har han bedre succes. Han dækker sine hæslige hensigter, og lykkes ganske godt med at bedrage ubesindige, som ikke er fast forankrede på den evige sandhed. - The Review and Herald, 1. april, 1875.
