<TITLE>10. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 Now, remember, I'm against no one's religion: I only try to testify to what's truth. Now, for instance, like in Catholicism, today... Now, and you Catholic friends of mine, just be patient; we're going to get right over on the Protestants just a minute. But now, notice how all those forms of religion, how it all backs up to paganism.
Now, looky here. The--the Catholic church, today, in their homes, they have what they call the house saint: Saint Mary, Saint Elizabeth, Saint Cecilia, Saint Thomas, Saint Josephus, or somebody--a saint, saint, saint. Where did it come from? Look back yonder at the beginning: pagan to begin with. Sure it is. And we Protestants, we take it right over to our church: "I'm a Methodist"; "I'm a Baptist"; "I'm a Presbyterian": still idolatry. That's right. God wants men to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. I don't care what the church says, what this...
Every one of those people around the world, in India, and Africa... I found people coming out, packing little idols, sprinkled with blood. They worship that idol. Every human being's got a soul, and he knows he was made off of some great creator somewhere, and he tries to find his way behind that dark curtain. And now, in Protestant religion today, we're just as ignorant of that as the Hottentots is. That's right.

L-28 You go around and talk about the Bible and say, "This is that..." The Buddhas, they come around with their Bible and say the same thing. The Mohammedans come around, say the same thing. Down... If we could pass by the Ganges River today, they'd throw little black babies in there and sacrifice them to crocodiles. You say, "Well, Brother Branham, I'm sincere." So are they; more sincere than you are or I am, on that heathen worship. But that don't mean they're saved. There's only one way to be saved; that's through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, being borned of the Holy Ghost, filled with His Spirit. Then you are saved by the Holy Ghost.

L-29 Now, Jude's writing to the people. They have begin falling away, breaking up in creeds, denominations. And they say, "Well, we the group of these believe this. We, the group of this, believes that."
Jude said, "I'm writing to you, to exalt you--to exhort you, rather, that you should earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints." He knowed the Holy Spirit had already spoke through Paul, saying, "In the last days how they'd be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof." God has always...
Amen. Brother, you're on that thing. Don't let me deafen the people.
But look, I want to tell you something. Every time in every age since the beginning of time, God has a vindicated His believers with signs and wonders. I challenge any historian to tell me a time that there ever struck a revival of God Almighty on the face of the earth, 'less there was great phenomenal, and miracles and signs and wonders accompanying it. Every time, every time, through all the historians, Josephus and the whole group will write and tell you the same. Though the Methodist revival, and--and all other revivals, they had signs, wonders, and miracles.
