musashi Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS FROM THIS WORLD TO THAT WHICH IS TO COME The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan and published in February, 1678. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature Link http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/bunyan/pp00.htm Quote: Solidity indeed becomes the Pen Of him that writeth things Divine to men; But must I needs want solidness, because By Metaphors I speak? Were not God's Laws, His Gospel-Laws, in olden time held forth By Types, Shadows, and Metaphors? Yet loth Will any sober man be to find fault With them, lest he be found for to assault The highest Wisdom. No, he rather stoops, And seeks to find out what by Pins and Loops, By Calves, and Sheep, by Heifers, and by Rams, By Birds, and Herbs, and by the blood of Lambs, God speaketh to him. And happy is he That finds the light and grace that in them be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musashi Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks Gail and dgrimm60 some interesting points. found out the authors stand regarding sabbath. Quote: Hope. I continued a great while in the delight of those things which were seen and sold at our Fair; things which I believe now would have (had I continued in them still) drowned me in perdition and destruction. Chr. What things were they? Hope. All the Treasures and Riches of the World. Also I delighted much in Rioting, Revelling, Drinking, Swearing, Lying, Uncleanness, Sabbath - breaking, and what not, that tended to destroy the Soul. But I found at last, by hearing and considering of things that are Divine, which indeed I heard of you, as also of beloved Faithful, that was put to death for his faith and good living in Vanity Fair, That the end of these things is death. And that for these things' sake the wrath of God cometh upon the children of disobedience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
