<TITLE>27. Par 35-35</TITLE>L-35 About that time people begin screaming, thousands of them down there, ushers formed a big line. I went walking to the platform. I said, "I do not claim to be a Divine healer, and I'm sorry that Mr. Best, and none of you thinks bad of him. His mother loved him as well as my mother loves me. And that's all right. That's what we're Americans for and that's what they're dying on the battle front for, is so we can have our rights, and so forth. That's all right." But I said, "I disagree with him in the Scripture."
He said, "As a man," he said, "as a man, I admire you; but in Scripture, I disagree."
I said, "That's a mutual feeling." Went right on. So, then we're...
He said, "All right." He said, "Now, looky, he walked over there then after the little rally, it come about hitting the preacher.
So then, I said, "It's a shame, that people would try to debate such things, when right here." I said, "One thing Mr. Best says that I'd like to say, he said, 'He felt sorry for these people sitting around here with cancer and so forth. He felt sorry for them.'" I said, "I don't believe that's the truth. I don't believe he sincerely mean that, 'cause right back there in that audience sets people that a few nights ago were sitting here sick and afflicted with cancer and blindness like these people are, and there they are well. And he's trying to deprive these people of the only hope they have of living, and then say he's sincere, and feels sorry for them. I don't believe it."
He said, "Oh, Baptist don't believe such things as that." He said, "Only you bunch of crackpots believes such stuff as that." Said, "A Baptist don't believe in Divine healing."
Brother Bosworth said, "I beg your pardon. Just a moment." He said, "How many of you here in this church in this building, tonight..."
And there set a whole slew of Baptist ministers setting there, which Brother Richey just called them. Said, "Which one of you sent in here?" The Baptist church better watch then. There's thousands and thousands of members setting there. See?
So he said, none of them sent him; he sent hisself. The Baptist Conference wasn't going to be responsible for sending him; it was him hisself. All right.
