<TITLE>29. Par -</TITLE>L-194-282 Then when man fell in flesh... And if God sent another individual besides Himself down, He was unjust. The only way God could justly do it was take the man's place himself.
What if I made Brother Neville die for this woman here? What if I made this woman die for this woman here, if it would been that I had the rule over you? I could not be just and do that. If I pronounced death, and want you to live, I've got to take your place to justify you.
And then God Who was in the image of Spirit, without image, rather, the Bible said, "God's without form." All right. Then God had to take on form, and He overshadowed a virgin and created in her a blood cell, without sex or anything to do with it, and created a blood cell that developed into the Son of God. And God came down and dwelt in His Son, Christ Jesus, making Him God on earth.
When St. John... Thomas said, "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
He said, "I've been so long with you and you don't know Me?" He said, "Why sayest thou, 'Show us the Father'?" Why, He said, "When you see Me you see the Father. I and My Father are One. My Father dwelleth in Me."

L-195-287 A lady, here not long ago, I was talking that, jumped up, said, "Oh, Brother Branham," said, "I--I know what you mean. They are one; sure they're one." Said, "You and your wife are one too. That's the kind of one they are."
I said, "I beg your pardon," I said, "they're not." I said, "Do you see me?"
Said, "Sure."
I said, "You see my wife?"
Said, "No."
And I said, "There. Then they're a different kind of one than what me and my wife are." See? I said, "That's right."
Jesus said, "You can't see Me without seeing the Father." Certainly not. It's the second part of the three-foot rule, the same rule. It's God. Jesus Christ was either God or the greatest deceiver the world ever had.

L-195-291 Listen. A woman said to me not long ago, said, "I'll prove to you," a Christian Science woman. Now, Christian Science friend, be reverent just a minute. See? And said, "I'll prove to you that He wasn't nothing but a man." Said, "You put too much bragging on Jesus."
I said, "If I brag day and night I could not give Him what's coming to Him." I said, "No wonder..."
Why, Isaiah tried to name Him; he said, "He's Wonderful, Counseller, the Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father," all of that. He's Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star, Father, Son, Holy Ghost. "In Him dwelled the Fullness of the Godhead bodily," said the Bible. The Fullness of God was in Him.

L-196-294 She said, "I'll tell you, when He went down to pray for Lazarus, to raise Lazarus up," said, "I'll prove to you He was just a man."
I said, "Let's see you do it."
Said, "The Bible said He wept. And that proves that He was a man; He could weep."
I said, "Sure, that was the Son that was weeping."
He was a God-man. He was a triune being just like I am, you are; we're soul, body, and spirit. He was Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in the Deity of God; that's Who He was. He was Deity Himself. How could He do anything there when the... His own children crying for His blood? If it'd been something else... That was His own children crying for His Blood, no wonder He wept for them. How would a man... And His own kids crying for His blood, how could He feel? Either condemn them to hell forever, or give His life; He was God giving His life for His children. Deity dwelt in Him. That's Who He was.
The woman said, "Looky," said, "Reverend Branham, I'll prove to you. When He wept, it proved He was a man."
