Now, what do you suppose is the reason of this intolerance? I believe it is just
because there is the truth both with the Jew and with the Christian. A thousand errors
may live in peace with one another, but truth is the hammer that breaks them all in
pieces. A hundred lying religions may sleep peaceably in one bed, but wherever the
Christian religion goes as the truth, it is like a fire brand, and it abides nothing that is
not more substantial than the wood, the hay, and the stubble of carnal error. All the
gods of the heathen, and all other religions, are born of hell, and therefore, being
children of the same father, it would seem amiss that they should fall out, and chide,
and fight; but the religion of Christ is a thing of God's — its pedigree is from on high,
and, therefore, when once it is thrust into the midst of an ungodly and gainsaying
generation, it has neither peace, nor parley, nor treaty with them, for it is truth, and
cannot afford to be yoked with error: it stands upon its own rights, and gives to error
its due, declaring that it has no salvation, but that in the truth, and in the truth alone,
is salvation to be found.
