Author Description

Excerpt from The Ancient Church: From the Captivity to the Coming of Christ The church in the first ages had at least two outward ordinances the weekly Sabbath, and bloody sacrifices. Perhaps they had others of which we have no knowledge. They had also direct revelations from God, - truths, warnings, promises, threats, with other intima tions of the Divine will. The ritual of the church underwent a change, in the time of Abraham. The true religion was now beginning to be corrupted.
