<TITLE>12. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 When Jesus died, He was the Son of God. I believe He was the virgin born Son of God. I believe Jehovah God overshadowed a little virgin, created a blood cell in the womb of Mary, 'out knowing any man. It developed, was born, was the Son of God, and Jehovah come down and dwelt in His Son. God was on earth dwelling with us in a Man call, His Son Jesus Christ. Just this. If you don't believe that, you're lost. That's right.
An atheist arguing with me not long ago, said, "Preacher, do you mean to tell me that woman could have a baby without knowing a man?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "It can't be. Can't be." Says, "It's against all scientific rules. Co--corn won't even pole, nothing else, without a actual contact of male and female."
I said, "Is that right?" I... "So I want to ask you something. Will you admit that Mary... Jesus had a mother?"
"Yes."
"But it's impossible for God to be His Father."
Said, "There is no such a thing as God."
"You mean the great Spirit of the great creation couldn't have created the blood cell?"
"No, there is no such a thing. She had affair with Joseph, and just a little slip-up like we have now. And they started a religion by it."
I said, "I want to ask to something, then, sir. Where did the first man come from, let him be tadpole, monkey, or whatever he was, that you want to say? The first man, where did he come from, and who was his pappy and mammy? According to your statement he had to have a father and a mother before it could be done, then where did the first man come from: let him be anything he wants to be?" That's right.
Fifteen minutes from there under an old pine tree (where me and Brother Wood passed the other day), I led him to Christ. Amen. He couldn't answer. Certainly not. According to their statement, he had to have a beginning of both father and mother. So where--who was he? Who made the first ones?
Oh, they're... I'm like what Billy Sunday said about prohibition. "Their argument is--is thinner than the broth made out of a shadow of a chicken that starved to death." Now, that's how thin it is. That's right. They just haven't got no legs at all to stand on. No, sir. God is, and a Rewarder of those who seek Him. That's right.

L-37 Now, notice. When Jesus died at Calvary, He said... Everything on earth knew that was the Son of God. God even said it was His Son. He shut the heavens off; it was dark over the earth. He couldn't watch His own Son die, and yet His Son giving His Blood for the remission of sin.
The Roman centurion put his hand over his heart and said, "Truly, that's the Son of God."
Judas Iscariot said, "I've betrayed innocent blood." The earth said It was the Son of God; it belched out the rocks in a great earthquake, when He died. Everything recognized He was the Son of God. Oh, my. I oughtn't to start this, going to have a prayer line, but I feel real good right now.

L-38 Watch Him! Bear with me just a minute, if you can stand some of this old-time sorghum-molasses and hickory smoked ham. Look. Coming down, condescending, the Son of God said, "Into Thy hands I commend My Spirit," gave up the Ghost. And the Bible said He went and preached to the souls that were in prison. Amen. What is it? These fellows here, where that Miss Pepper broke into, the souls that were in prison, that repented not in the long suffering of the, God in the days of Noah, when the ark was being prepared.
