It on...Ditto on how relevent Spurgeon is to today. It only goes to show how truth is eternal and there is nothing new (especially error) under the sun. But Spurgeon also pulls of the humor of comparing those errors to ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms while simultaneously taking a swipe at Darwinism AND saying that becoming a horse is superior and marvelous by comparison!

It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. When we do have the truth, why should we Christians keep following the latest fad out in the world (Acts 117:21)? --[Yes, Centuri0n, I'm about to head out for church!]Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416549612706591718noreply@blogger.com
