Spiritual infatuation
There is no one instance of spiritual infatuation in the world which is more amazing than this. Most of these very men read or hear the Bible read, many of them every Lord's day. They have read or heard these words a hundred times, and yet never suspect that they are themselves condemned by them, any more than by those which forbid parents to offer up their sons or daughters to Moloch (Deuteronomy 18:10).
