<TITLE>06. Par -</TITLE>L-18-46 Now, but then there was no man to till the soil (Genesis 2), no man to till the soil. "And then God formed man (Genesis 2:7) out of the dust of the earth." Now, we follow it; He formed man out of the dust of the earth, and put this supernatural Spirit...
Now, he was laying there. I can have many pictures of it. I can see Adam standing... Let's take this way, see him standing like a tree. God had made him. He was dead as he could be, his toes, like the roots sticking in the ground. And God said, "Let there be," or breathed the breath of life into him, and he jumped, came to himself. See, He was a... Breathed the breath of life into him, he became a living soul. Now, and he begin to move on, move on.

L-18-48 And then God taken from his side a piece of him, a rib, and made a woman. Now, where did He get the spirit, woman? See? When He... Genesis 1:26, He said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our own--own likeness, created He them man, male and female." He made the burly spirit for the man; He made the tender, little, delicate, feminish spirit for the woman.
And when you see a woman acting like a man, she's got out of her place (You see?) in the beginning. See? All right. She's supposed to... I think it's a shame that women has lost their dainty, feminish place. It's a disgrace. I tell you it is. It's...
You know, I'm going to say this. Now, I'm not talking about you women here, But 'course if it hurts, it just does. But look; let me ask you something. It used to be that women was so feminish till men would go to talking to them and they'd blush. Huh. What is blushing anyhow? I haven't seen it in so long I wouldn't even know what it was if some woman blushed. They haven't got any of that dignity any more, all that there fine feminish spirit. They're just... They can... They'll wear clothes like a man, cut their hair like a man, smoke like a man, drink like a man, cuss like a man, vote like a man, work like a man, so, become rough, burly. Oh, my. That shows where you've got to. That's exactly.

L-19-50 That little ladylike, you don't see her much more; she's a hard person to find. Isn't that right? Yes, that's the truth. So a woman is not supposed to stand up and act like a man, big and burly, because she's dainty. God made her that way. I can prove that by the Scriptures. Yes, sir. That's right. And...
But 'course, we get off this question, but I don't want to get too many off this question. But see, there's where He made His first man, was in His own image.

L-19-52 And then, God, before there even was a star, knew that this world would be. And He knew that I'd be William Branham preaching the Gospel from the pulpit and you'd be John Doe setting there listening to It, before the world ever began. Hallelujah.
Now, that's where people sometimes, in the--the legalistic Calvinists, get all mixed up. See? They say, "Well, why was some ordained to be lost?" God's not willing that any should perish. He don't want no one to perish, but yet, being God, He knows there's some that won't accept It. See? See, He's got... He had to know the end from the beginning in order to be God, didn't He?

L-20-54 So He knew He was going to have some women, so He just made their spirit right there. The Bible said He would in 1, Genesis 1:26, "He created he him, man in a prefigure, male and female." Amen. See? In a prefigure He made the woman and the man before they was ever formed out of the dust of the earth.
And then God made the man, not in His Own image. This body's not in the image of God; this body's in the image of beasts.

L-20-56 Can I take off my coat? It's getting hot up here. I got a tore shirt on, but you won't notice that. Why, it's only... Jesse didn't come and get the laundry, so... But look, we're on a subject here now that means more than a torn shirt in the pulpit. Doesn't it? It means Eternal Life.
