<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 All things beginning, cults begin, the Church of God began in Genesis. You believe that? Notice closely now, as we go into it now. Now, the two that we want to deal with today... Now, here is my conception. That when God made man in His Own image, He man him spirit man of course, 'cause God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and truth.
Then He made man out of the dust of the earth. That's where I think botanist and so forth, get their chronologist and gets all scrupled up. When you realize that man in his five senses to contact his earthly home, is in the image of beast, not in the image of God. Man made in God's image was spirit man.

L-17 And then there was no man to till the soil, and He put man in the image of beast life. He might give him a hand like a monkey, a foot like a bear. But the difference between the animal and the man, he made him a soul, a living soul. Because the Spirit of God was in the man. And then the only way that God could redeem the man, then God came down and was made flesh to redeem the man that He'd condemn in the flesh. That's when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was made flesh and dwelt among us.
I can see Adam and Eve, one of the most outstanding pictures I can think of, is this. My audience this afternoon, you listen. When I can see Adam and Eve... I seen pictures of artist, the Greek artist paint Eve's picture, was a most horrible looking beast. And Adam looked like some, I don't know what. That's the wrong conception, absolutely.

L-18 Adam was a strong, fine, handsome looking man. And Eve was one of the most beautiful women the earth's ever seen. I can see them setting there after God woke him up, and see him setting there by her side, her beautiful figure, her beautiful hair hanging down, her eyes as blue, sparkled like the stars of heaven. She never had to wear any of this here manicure, or what you put on your lips and things like that. She was pretty to begin with. That's right. Sin's what put that on there. That's right. If it's in the original, it wouldn't have to have it. It's just too bad.
Now, remember, in this pulpit I'm your friend, but in here I have to be God's servant. It's just too bad that you Pentecostal people let down the bars along them lines there. That's right. That's exactly right. It's true. If... Someone... I said that not long ago and some preacher said to me, said, "But you see, Brother Branham," he said, "the devil went out of fashions."

L-19 I said, "But he never went out of business." He's still in the business. That's right. Yes, sir, if it was sin then, it's sin now.
Listen my sisters, I ain't saying this for jokes, 'cause I don't believe in joking in the pulpit. But there was only one woman in the Bible ever painted her face. And you don't paint your face to meet God; you paint your face to meet man. That's right. And only one woman ever painted her face, and that was Jezebel. That's right. That's exactly right.
Listen, you know what God did to her? He fed her to the dogs. So if you see a woman with a lot of paint on and calling herself a Christian, say, "Good evening, Miss Dog-Meat." That's exactly what God made out of her, is dog meat. That's right. Now, don't get up and go out, 'cause I know you're guilty. Let me tell you something, brother. What we need today is a good old-time Saint Paul's revival and the Bible Holy Ghost back in the church, is exactly what we need, back the old fashion line. You know that's true.
