<TITLE>09. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 And Mr. Bosworth... and they had all the ministers lined up. And so, Mr. Ramsar was leading the singing. He said, "Well, next is the main event of the evening." He said, "I understand, I seen in the paper around here where that a certain fellow wanted to run William Branham out of the city." He said, "I think if you people of Houston will take more time running bootleggers out of the city you would man of God, your city would be better off." And there was a scream went all over the whole building; I knowed Mr. Best was gone. So, I just set there.
Dr. Bosworth got to the platform. They made him get up first. He said, "Mr. Best, I have six hundred Bible questions setting here, wrote out on this piece of paper, that proves that Christ's present attitude towards the sick is just the same as it was in the beginning, when He was here on earth." Said, "If you can take any one of the six hundred and disprove it by the Word of God, I will walk off the platform." Six hundred.
And said, "If you can give me one Scripture in the whole Bible that says that His--His--His attitude towards the sick isn't just the same today, then I will walk off the platform." That's pretty gallant. So he hand it over.

L-33 Mr. Best said, "I will take care of that when I get up there."
And he said, "Well," he said, "just show me, just show me one Scripture." And--and so he wouldn't do it. He said, "Well, then Brother Best, I'm going to ask you one question." And here's what he asked him. He said, "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus? Yes or no. Answer that yes or no and I will walk off the platform." Mr. Best wouldn't answer him, 'cause he couldn't. "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus? Yes or no."
If He was Jehovah--if He was Jehovah-jireh... If He wasn't Jehovah-jireh, then He's not God's provided sacrifice and He wasn't the Son of God. And if He was Jehovah-jireh, He's also Jehovah-rapha, the Healer, the same yesterday, today, and forever. That settled it. That'd settle it forever.

L-34 He just slobbered at the mouth, and got up and walked up and down the platform four or five times, and slapped a preacher in the mouth, start a little fuss. So when he did, he said, "Bring forth that Divine healer." Said, "Let me see him heal somebody."
And Mr. Bosworth said, "Shame on you, Mr. Best."
Said, "If Brother Branham preaching Divine healing makes him a Divine healer, if you preach salvation makes you a Divine saviour." Said, "You wouldn't want to be called a Divine saviour." Said, "And you're not." Said, "But he never a Divine healer because he preaches Divine healing." Said, "Christ is the Healer and Christ is the Saviour. We only point it by the Word, and that's what you and I are here tonight, to find out whether it's in the Word or not." Says, "Then I want you to show me that it's not in the Word."

L-35 He just thought we was a bunch of holy-rollers or fanatics, but he found out we're not lost in the fog. We know where we're going.
So then, he walked up and down the floor. And Raymond Richey said... asked the moderator, "Can I have a word?" He said, "I happened to see about a dozen Baptist ministers setting there." He said, "And I know the president of--of the--of the conference of the--of the... not conference, but what... convention is setting here, called him by name." He said, "Is this the attitude of the Southern Baptist Convention towards Divine healing?" So they wouldn't answer them.
So he said, "Did Mr. Best come here on his own or did this Southern Baptist Convention send him here?" Said, "I..." And the moderator told him to set down. He said, "Sir, you give me the floor, and I'm asking a question that hasn't been answered." So he held his ground. And he said, "Well..."
