<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 Now, our old--dear old Brother Ryan, that comes here once in a while, he's mixed up in that too. And--and Mrs. Larson, that was once here with us, she's into that also, and getting a whole group of them start...
Now, Christian friend, the word 'Joshua'... And they say the Bible is misprinted, misinterpreted, and so forth. Look. Don't pay no attention, what people saying about that Bible being misprinted. If this is misprinted, something else they say, "This just as misprinted," where's your faith laying at? This is God's Word. This is the way it looks right here. See? And I believe it just...
Now, the Word of... Now, here is fact. The lady that come to me here, some time ago... And I--she didn't believe that His Name was Jesus. She said His Name should be Jehovah, Jr. Hmm. So I said, "Lady..." See, what it is, friends, people who has those minds, receptacles to--to 'isms,' the first thing you know, they get it, a spirit of delusion, and go off and believe an error. And they're--they're just ready for something like that. And don't, don't do that. Be solid. The Bible said, "Be stable, unmovable (See?), abounding in Christ."

L-8 Now, first person I ever turned from my house in my life was this woman. I said, "Don't come up here if you can't come and talk of something different from that, because that's... I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God." And I said, "That's... My faith is built on that."
But now, the Word--so that you'll understand, when you pick it up, lay it away. "Joshua," really the correct word is "Josh-u-a." [Brother Branham pronounces the word for the people--Ed.] See?
Now, I want to say something here. "Olkaa hyva." I doubt whether anybody except Billy Paul back there, knows what that means: "Olkaa hyva". Does anybody know what the word "kiitos" means? Does anybody know what the word "baie dankie" means? Does anybody know what the word, "dankeschon" means? One hand, for "danke--" two. All right. What's the word "thank you" mean? That's what I said every time. "Olkaa hyva, kiitos, dankeschon, baie dankie." See? It's all "thank you," but I just spoke it in different languages. "Josh-u-a," is the Name of Jesus in Hebrew. That's all. If it's in English, it's "Jesus," means "Josh-u-a," "Joshua," "Josh-u-a." It's just the same thing. See?

L-9 Now, if you want to say, "Well, you ought to say it in the Hebrew word." Then we ought to say all the rest of it in the Hebrew word. See? Then we all ought to understand Hebrew and let the Hebrew then the--be the international dialect. So see how thin it is? There's nothing to it. See? It's "Joshua," "Yahweh." "Yahweh" is God: Yah, Yahweh, "Josh-u-a," all those words, Hebrew words, that pertains to God. But if we was saying the same word, we'd say, "Jesus," "Josh-u-a." See? "Josh-u-a," Jesus. Now, if I was talking to a Hebrew and he couldn't understand English, I'd have to say, "Josh-u-a," "Josh-u-a" to make him understand what I was talking about. But if I was talking to you this morning, and I go to saying "Josh-u-a," you'd wonder what I was saying. I'd say, "Jesus." See? It's the same word, the same thing.
So don't listen to the all... You know, the Bible said that those things would be, just like they are before the coming of the Lord, all these things rising up.
