How natural that the errors of the ancient should be handed down and, mixing with the principles and system which Christ taught, give to us an adulterated Christianity.

Summary

This quote reflects on the idea that throughout history, the teachings of Christ have been distorted and corrupted by the mistakes and misunderstandings of earlier generations. As a result, the Christianity that is passed down to us today is often a diluted version, mixing both the original principles of Christ with the errors of the past. It highlights the need for constant vigilance and discernment to separate the genuine teachings of Christ from the additional interpretations and traditions that may have tainted the faith over time.
