Theosophy

Pacific Press Publishing Company · Oakland, California · Jan 6, 1898

Theosophy.—One of the false religions, or cults, of the present time is Theosophy. There is no doubt that it is multiplying its adherents by the thousands. There is about it so much vague uncertainty and mysticism that takes with a certain class! But the one thing that appeals to the natural man more strongly than all else is that it is a religion founded upon self. It appeals to the selfish heart. True, it teaches self-denial, self-abnegation, even self-effacement, but it is all wrought by self and for self. There is but one way that its delusive theory may be discerned, and that is the way of the Gospel. He who knows God by Jesus Christ will know that Theosophy is not the wisdom of God.
