Is there one true and divine religion in the world? The answer of the people in this country generally is, that there is. Touching this answer we entertain not a doubt. There is in this world one religion from God, and of supreme and absolute authority. It covers the whole ground, and leaves not the least room for any other. All others are departures from it, corruptions of it, or amalgamations with something else. That one religion was given by Christ and his apostles. Christ is the Author of it. He is the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the Ending. “All authority in heaven and on earth is given to him.” His religion, and no other, has the divine, the supreme, and the absolute authority in it. There is not one particle of divine authority in any other. All others are usurpations, existing in antagonism and rebellion, and will be overthrown. The Papal religion is a compound, or an amalgamation of Judaism, Christianity and Paganism, the latter, by far, preponderating. Its great love for, and attachment to the Latin, is in deference to Paganism. While it contains some truth, and some parts of the religion of Christ, it can not be said, in truth, to be _that religion_. It is another, a departure, an apostasy; beyond recovery, and the divine command to the people of God involved in it, is to “Come out of her, that you be not partaker of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.” Rev. xviii. 4. God says, “Her sins” (the sins of Mystery Babylon) “have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” This iniquitous system, as a distinct religion, was not in the world for ages after the true religion was established. We need inform no one a little acquainted with the New Testament, that no such being as the Pope was in the church, nor in the world, in the time of the apostles; nor does he appear in the early history of the church at all. We might as well look into the Bible or early history for an account of Mohammed, or the Mormon prophet, as for the Pope. Neither the Pope nor Mohammed appear at all in history, for hundreds of years after the establishment of the only true religion. Nor was there a Cardinal or an Archbishop, during the same period. These dignitaries were not _developed_ till long after the founding of the New Institution. The entire priesthood of the Papacy, as now found, as also the Nuns and Sisters of Charity, are wanting in all the history, and, we may safely say, in everything written in the early centuries. There is not a trace of them in the Bible, except in prophecy, nor in any writing, for hundreds of years after the apostles. This any man knows who has read and reflected at all.
