<TITLE>17. Par 52-53</TITLE>L-52 Now, I said, "I want to ask you something. (While we get ready now to close.) I just want to ask you something." I said, "Gentlemen, of the religions of India (not brethren, because they wasn't)," I said, "here's a man that the Holy Spirit has called his name and told him who he was, exactly what I wanted to do." Said, "Here's a man that I can't even speak his language. He...?... We was born twelve thousand apart or farther," and I said, "in different nations, different nationalities, different language (I don't just remember right.) just Holy Spirit has told me who he, where he come from, and what he done." I said, "That's more than enough to convince you of it." I said, "Now, he's blind." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
I said, "Now, gentleman of the religions of the world, can your religion do anything for this man?" I said, "No more than more than what to change his mi--way of thinking. You say, 'Well, he's sun worshipper; he went blind, sincere in heart, he worshipped his god.'" I said, "Now, he worshipped the creature instead of the Creator, the creation, rather, instead of the creation--the Creator...?..." I said, "Do you get it?" I said, "Now, what if you wanted a Jain out of him? You'd say he was wrong then, 'cause he worships insects. What if you wanted to make him a cow worshipper, you'd tell him to go on and worship the cow, the Mohammedan the same way, the Buddha the same way. You'd only change his way thinking, which is psychology." I said, "We have the same thing in America, only a little different God. But a man wants to make a Methodist out of a Baptist; or a Baptist wants to make a Presbyterian out of a Lutheran; and the Pentecostal wants to an Assembly out of Oneness; and the Oneness wants to make a some kind of something else." And where is God...?... That's right. God saves us. Certainly. Where is the living God? God calls a man to worship.

L-53 I said, "We got that in America...?... We don't have but one God, but we have a lot of these different organizations that tries to make people think it's in the Methodist; we think it's the Pentecostal, or think it's the Church of God. We think it's...?... separate. I think it's psychology, man born in east or born here, and that's all." No matter what church you belong to, if you're just born...?... wrong...?..."
Now, I said, "That's it. We have the same thing in America. It just in another form. The same devil is doing it; it just under another form." But I said, "If that...?... If each one of you people say that your god is immortal, and...?..." So then, oh, my, they were warned on the Hebrew religion...?... And I said, "Now, if there is a distinction, and all creation come from your god, this is a creature of God. Surely you can do something about it." Oh, brother, there's...?...
Listen. You think I would challenge them...?... like that there? Not unless God would say so. But when God says so, that settles it. You get on your knees before...?...
I said, "Now, if I've told the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God raised Him up on the third day as a witness, He ascended on high, and said, 'The things that I do, shall you do also. Go into all the world, preach the Gospel; lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Behold, now the world seeth Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I (personal pronoun) will be with you even in you to the end of the world.'" That's right. I said, "If He's raised from the dead, He's absolutely a vindicated exactly the same things He promised to do in the Bible." I said, "Come forward now. If there's a doctor here, or anyone who examine the man first."
