In another spiritualist book, it contradicts completely what
was said above, affirming that the spiritism is not only a religion, but the true
religion.

One of the teachings of the spiritualists' books describes the form
aproach somebody that is not spiritualist.
"We are obliged to
express ourselves in language that is comprehensible by those we address.
When a man has a very strong conviction inregard to any douctrine, even
though it be a false one, we can only turn him from this conviction very
gently, and little by little; for this reason we sometimes employ his
own terms, and thus appear to chime in with his ideas, in order not to
startle him , and to encourage him to come again to our school."
"It is not well to
give too sudden a shock to prejudice; to do so, is, in fact, the surest
way to prevent one's self from being listened to; and for this reason
spirits often begin, as does every skilful orator, by speaking as though
they shared the opinions of their hearers, taking care not to address a
Chinese or a Mahometan as they would a European or a Christian, because
they know that, if they did so, they would certainly meet with a
repulse."

Mediums' book - 2nd Ed. - Chapter. XXVII - Contradictions and
hoaxings - Question 301 - P.

At last, other book affirms that the teachings
of the spiritism are the same teached
in the Christianism.
"The Chritianism and the Spiritism teach the same thing"

Platão" - P. 47 - This book doesn't have an English version yet. This text

Here is the question. Do they really teach the same thing? We in
this comparative study are going to answer this question with plenty of
seriousness.
The own spiritualist book gives us a clue of who has the
reason.
"In Christanism all the truths can be found"
"O Evangelho segundo o Espiritismo" -
106th Ed. - Chapter.VI - Instructions of the Spirits - P. 130
