<TITLE>04. Par 25-29</TITLE>L-25 God calls. No man can come to God except God called him. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father calls him--draws him." Is that right? So it's God in all. Maybe tomorrow afternoon we'll get a little bit more on that, 'cause I want to get this thing of disease to you so that you'll see that...
There was a time when we become germitized in our great-grandfather. You know that. Doctor knows that. Well, you do too, you Bible readers. You know the germ of life started in your great-grandfather to becoming a germ, and come out through your grandfather, and then into your father, then to your mother and where you are now. That's right. Scripture even teaches that. Here's the Scripture for you if you want. I believe it said that Levi paid tithes when he was in the loins of Abraham, which was his great-grandfather. Is that right? So, see, the germ become back there.

L-27 But your souls were made up before the foundation of the world when God created man in His Own image: spirit of man; not a man in His Own image, but man in His Own image. See? And then He made them male and female before He ever had a man in the dust of the earth. Wish we had a chance this afternoon to take our time and go back into that, just see how God...
Now, it's between the line, but when you see, it comes right up with the line. See? How that God back in the beginning, what He did there, and how He moved down into the earth and how that He made man in His image, and then God turned around and was made in the image of man to redeem man.

L-28 Now, when God made man in His image, he was a spirit man. And it... Then there was no man to till the soil. Then He created man out of the dust of the earth. Now, chronologists and so forth, and these people that search and get old bones and so forth, and believe in evolution... I believe in the right kind of evolution. Man evolutes from himself, but not all from one cell. No, sir, because a--a bird has been a bird ever since God made him a bird, and a monkey's been a monkey; a man's been a man...?... That's right.

L-29 Now, I was talking to a doctor here awhile back in Louisville. He said, "Why, Reverend Branham..." I was talking about how the natives of Africa, how they eat, just go down by the... Oh, some of the awfullest things you ever see, how they would eat, just pick up things that's contaminated, and maggots in it, just shake them around, maggot and all. Don't make any difference to him. See? They said... Drink anything, don't make any difference what it is. He said, "But, Brother Branham, them people are not human." I said, "Oh, yes, they are. They sure are human."
I said, "The closest thing to a human being, in the beast line, is a chimpanzee. And you've tried for four thousand years to get one mutter out of that chimpanzee, and he can't do it," I said, "cause he can't think. He has nothing to think with." Oh, you can learn him little things like a horse, gee and haw, or put on glasses, or smoke a cigar, or balance hisself on a bicycle, ride a horse, or something like that; but it's just like gee and haw to a horse, or to a dog or something like that. I said, "He's an animal."
