<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Let's go at the window and look out. There comes the Man down the street over them cobblestones, dragging an old rugged cross. He's got a garment on wove throughout without seams. As He starts up Golgotha yonder, I begin to look on His back, and I see little red spots all over His coat. I say, "What are those red spots?" I keep watching them. As He goes the spots gets bigger, bigger, bigger; now they all run into one great big bloody spot. I hear something going, [Brother Branham claps three times--Ed.] What is it? The second Adam, the Redeemer, going yonder to Calvary, bearing away, the Lamb of God taking the sin of the world up yonder to Calvary, the most pathetic picture was ever pictured. How could a sinner look in the face of that and remain a sinner, is more than I can tell you.
Out of there come two children: one Cain and one Abel. Both of them are men. And Cain was a long ways from being an atheist. Cain was a believer.
Now, we want to see where these two spirits... We can't deal with all the cults and everything, but let's deal on Fundamentalism and Full Gospel this afternoon, and take these two spirits and bring it out of Genesis. And you stick with me just for a little bit and pray for me now.

L-26 Now, here comes Cain and Abel. They're both brothers from the same mother. And here they come out, and after they're out of the garden of Eden, they both realize that they have sinned. And both of them are trying to find favor with Jehovah God again. Now, they both are believers. Notice, now this may scorch just a little bit, and it might hurt; but brother, if it hurts, you take it. Just set still a minute, then you examine it by the Word of God.
My, when we was raised, little boys, we was so poor. I never will forget. We had a big old cedar tub, and mama would heat the water in a teakettle and pour it in there. And every Saturday night we got a bath, once a week and a dose of castor oil. And I tell you; I taken so much of it; I can't even stand to smell it today. When I come up to take my dose; I'd hold my nose like this; I'd say, "Mama, it makes me so sick; I can't even stand it."
She said, "If it don't make you sick, it don't do you any good." So you apply that this afternoon the same way. If it don't kind of stir you up a little, it might not do you any good. Now, notice, just hold your nose and swallow, it'll be good.

L-27 Now, in there these two boys, one of them Cain and one Abel. Both of them were believers. Yes, sir. Both of them believed in God. And if faith and belief in God is all God requires, then if God condemned Cain and accepted Abel, and both of them believers, God's unjust, friends. That's right. Yes, sir. 'Cause both of them was believers. You hear some people say today, "The only thing you have to do, is to believe."
That's just to begin. Someone said, "Brother Branham, what... Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness."

L-28 That's true. Abraham believed, but God give him the--the seal of circumcision, as a testimony that He had confirmed his faith. And today a man can believe unto God for Eternal Life, and He gives him the Holy Ghost as a circumcision, as a confirmation of his faith. That's right.
For Ephesians 4:30 says: "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption." That's pretty strong doctrine for a Baptist. But I told you, I'm one Baptist that got the Holy Ghost. I'm a Holy Ghost Baptist now.
Notice this in Genesis. Then I could see both boys wanted to find favor with God. Now, Cain's not a communist, neither is he an unbeliever; he's a believer and a worshipper of God. Now, there's, that's starting now. I'm going to use these two microphones here this afternoon as the two trees. Both boys, you say this is Abel, that's Cain.
