<TITLE>13. Par 39-41</TITLE>L-39 Here some time ago, I was speaking with an infidel down on the street. And he said, "Preacher, I can prove to you that the Bible is a lie."
I said, "You can't. I just don't believe..."
He said, "It contradicts Itself."
I said, "I want you to show it to me." See? I said, "It isn't there."
He said, "If I'll prove to you that that Jesus of Nazareth told something wasn't true, will you believe it?"
I said, "I don't believe you could do it. Anything that's proved is proved. But" I said, "I don't believe you can do it."
He said, "I'll prove it by His own Words."
I said, "All right."
He said, "Looky here, Jesus of Nazareth..." He studied to be a Roman priest and got sour against the thing. And went back out into the world and become a perfect infidel. And was standing... I was on one corner preaching, he was up in the little lot there in New Albany, out in the park, with a Bible laying there. Said, "That was the orneriest Book was ever written. It ain't even... shouldn't be put on--in public literature, out amongst public literature and things." Said, "Oh, it was so deceiving. It was..." all he called it. And me down on the other corner, preaching the Gospel.

L-40 He come down there with a big chew of tobacco in his mouth, he said, [Brother Branham makes a spitting noise.--Ed.] almost spit on my feet. Said, "You mean to tell me that you believe there is a God?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
And he said, "If I'll prove to you there is no such a thing as God, will you accept it?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
And I was, well, just a kid then. And I--I didn't know too much about the Scripture. So, he... I don't yet tonight. But I know the Author of it; that's the main thing. So then, he said, "Well, how many senses is to the human body?" And he was a smart man.
And I said, "Well, you know."
And he said, "I want you to say."
I said, "Five."
He said, "Name them."
I said, "See, taste, feel, smell and hear."
Said, "All right. If He was a human God now, as they claim He was. He was made manifest here among us. Then one of these five human senses ought to declare Him." And he said, "Is that right?" Well, a gang of people, the infidel and preacher together. So, you know what it caused. Here come everybody running up. You see?

L-41 And he was standing there, some groceries under his arm. And I'd just come out of a store from getting some sandwiches. And he said, "Well, isn't that right?"
I said, "Well, that sounds reasonable, why?"
He said, "All right. Did you ever see your God?"
I said, "Well, yes, sir. One night..."
He said, "Now, let me see Him."
And I said, "Well, of course, you're lost."
Said, "We ain't talking about faith. I want... My sense of sights just the same as yours. And if you've seen Him, let me see Him."
I said, "Well, I saw Him by vision."
He said, "Well, let me see the vision."
And I said, "Well, you don't..."
"Oh," said, "not believe now. No, no. You can't cut me off." He said, "You never did see Him. You never did feeled Him."
I said, "Oh, I felt Him."
He said, "No... Well, if you felt Him, let me feeled Him." Said, "My sense of feeling is just as good as yours. And it's the same sense." Said, "Bring Him here, let me feeled Him here, and I'll believe Him." Said, "You said you felt Him."
I said, "I feeled Him in my heart."
He said, "Well, let me feeled Him that way."
I said, "Well, if you'd get down and believe..."
He said, "No. Not your psychology. I want to know truth." And He was holding...
