<TITLE>05. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 Now, when in... Moses went forth to deliver the children of Israel... Moses was a different person from Pharaoh. Pharaoh looked at it scientifically, which is all right, but if scientific is all right, then if it's contrary to God's Word, don't believe it. If it's with God's Word, thank God for it.
Just like, for instance, doctors, hospitals. Some people says we shouldn't have doctors. We shouldn't have hospitals and perform operations. I--I disagree with that. I'm very thankful for hospitals and doctors and operations. I'm thankful for these electric lights tonight. I've thankful for the automobile that brought me up here; but if any time they work contrary to God, I don't--I won't fool with it. That's all. But when it's working with God they are natural blessings that God has given us.
The clothing that we wear, that's better shoes than sandals were, and it's better than going barefooted. The hats that we wear and so forth. It's--it's better than what we did have before the tree of knowledge produced this; and we're thankful for it. And every discovery along medical science and so forth that can help anybody, we are thankful for it.

L-14 Because remember this, my dear friend, there's no medicine, or no doctor, or no hospital that ever has or ever will heal anybody. There's no drug in the world that can heal you. Ask a doctor. They don't claim to be. I've been interviewed by Mayo Brothers twice. They say, "We do not claim to be healers. We only claim to assist nature. There's one Healer; that's God."
Look how simple it is. If I cut my hand tonight, here on the platform, they haven't got a medicine in the world can heal that knife cut. We haven't got a medicine in the world that they can guarantee to heal a bad cold. Thousands die every year, doctors and all, with bad colds. See?
Penicillin and sulfa drugs isn't healers. It just assists nature while God heals. Say for instance a knife cut my hand, what if I would cut my hand with a knife tonight, and all the--all the doctors in the world could do nothing for it as--to healing it.
Now, they can keep it clean with Tincture Merthiolate, and give me penicillin, and so forth, but they can't heal it because there's no medicine that will build tissue. God is the only Creator there is.

L-15 Now, if they had--if they had a medicine that would heal a knife cut in my hand, it would heal a knife cut in my coat. It'd heal a knife cut on this desk here. If it'd heal a knife cut, it would heal a knife cut, regardless of where it was, if a medicine healed a knife cut.
Now, you say, "Brother Branham, you're getting off of the beaten path."
All right. You say, "Medicine is made to heal human bodies not your coat and the desk."
All right. Then I cut my hand with a knife, and I fall dead here on the platform. You might take me down to the morgue and embalm my body with a fluid that would make me look natural fifty years from now, and let the best doctors there is in the world come and sew that place up, give me a penicillin shot five times a day, put all the Tincture Merthiolate salve and cures there is on that. In fifty years from the day that cut will be just exactly the way it was when it was cut.
