[b]The dark dungeon of ignorance![/b](William Secker, "The Consistent Christian" 1660)"God has called you out of darkness--into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9The papists cry up 'ignorance' as the mother of devotion. But we cry down 'ignorance' as the father of superstition.It is no wonder that Christ should be so much undesired--when He is so much unknown. Satan binds all his captives down in the dark dungeon of ignorance! Like the cunning falconer, he blindfolds his birds--that he may carry them to hell more securely!Darkness is the devil's element--and the sinner'spunishment. Utter darkness--is the recompense of inward darkness. "My people perish--for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6An ignorant man neither cares what he does--nor knows where he is going. When such a one is taken off the earth--he cannot be taken into heaven! "Taking vengeance with flaming fire on those who do not know God!" 2 Thessalonians 1:8
