<TITLE>03. Par -</TITLE>L-152-18 [Brother Branham speaks with Brother Neville--Ed.]And this was a request from...?... for the church to pray...?... someone to go the hospital. Now, here was another one who said... I'd... I--I appreciate this asking. And Almighty God Who is my Judge, standing here now in this sacred spot... Before I left home, the Spirit of the Lord told me, said this question will be laying on here. And I--I knowed nothing about it, but I knew it would be here.
Is Jehovah Witness a false sect?
See, somebody... And the Holy Spirit, at the place at the... Standing in my bathroom before coming down here, God, Who is my solemn Judge, told me, "That will be laying on the platform," and said I wouldn't say nothing about it, just go on. See? So I... You know what I said last night, don't you? All right, that's what it was.

L-153-20 All right, now we'll start over here on some of these. I just don't like to call right out any certain thing, and say some person or some individual like that. I just like to teach it in a way of just throw the whole thing together. And--and you understand, don't you? If I'd stand here and say, "Now, Brother Neville is so-and-so and certain-certain thing..." If I had that to say about him, I'd go up to his house and call him out and talk to him about it. See, I'd--I'd tell Brother Neville.

L-153-Q-25 But, now, here is some questions. Now, I don't know where to start with; it's just a group of them laying here. It says:
25. What connection did you mean about the Protestant church having with the Catholic church?

L-153-Q-26 26. What does the image of the beast mean?
Now, that was one of the questions from last--probably was on the people's... Now, I'll try my best, by God's help, to answer them the best of my knowledge. Now, if He will give me knowledge, 'cause God knows that I--I just picked them up here on the platform.
Now, what connection did you mean about the Protestant church having with the Catholic church?
Now, I'll answer that one first, God helping. I said that the Catholic church was the... We find out that the mark of the beast (night before last) had to come out of Rome. Is that right? It can't come out of no other country but Rome. There's where it's seated; that's where it's placed. And I said I have nothing against Catholic people, nothing against anyone; we're all mortals trying to get to heaven.

L-154-25 The pope is one fellow who teaches, the archbishop of Canterbury is another, and another, and another, and another; and I'm just one of the teachers; that's all. They'd teach and say, perhaps, I was a fanatic and I was wrong and so forth. And I have a right, if I can prove it by the Scripture... Or if they can prove it by the Scripture that I'm a fanatic, then I'm a fanatic. But if I can prove by the Scripture that they are wrong in their setup, then it's wrong; the Scripture's right. And it just have... Not one place now; it has to come all the way through the Bible, everywhere.
Now, I said the Catholic church was the mother church, and that's exactly right. The Catholic church is the mother church, when it comes to church organizations. The Catholic church was the first church that was ever formed around about, the best history you have, about A.D. 606, somewhere along in there when the early fathers, the second or third a round of the apostles. They had died out and begin to scatter out in little isms. And the Romans, being converted, the Roman empire ruled the state, and then church and state united together and started a religion called "the Universal Religion." And the word "catholic" means "universal." They organized the church, which was the first time that religion (Christian religion) was ever organized in all the world's history.
