Froehlich sent Benedict Weyeneth (1819-1887) to America at the request of Joseph Virkler, thus encouraging the foundation of the demonination in the United States. WRITINGS
QUOTES "Whoever does not, with his whole heart, wish to become a subject of Christ does not belong to the congregation and to the new covenant." "It never entered my mind that I should found he sect here on earth, rather it was my purpose to gather the children to God. If I could not place my confidence in the Lord my God, that He call me to His Gospel, I would indeed chose to have started something on what the Lord cannot give His blessing, or with which He could not be pleased. Now, however, I placed myself wholly into his hands, that He might lead me according to His good pleasure" "The priests of the high places give their own fiction, legends, fables, and inventions, precedence over the Word of God, and the people accept these spurious, man-made commandments blindly and implicitly, as if they came from God. At first an addition was made to the divine commandment, and in the course of the time the man-made commandment was raised above the divine order, and the sacredness of the latter was transferred to the former." |
