<TITLE>05. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 And he said... Next day he put it in the paper, said, "It shows what they're made out of, because they're afraid to preach Divine healing in the light of God's Word." That was too much for Brother Bosworth.
He said, "Brother Branham, if you won't do it, let me do it," at eighty years old.
And I thought... My, I looked at him, and I thought of Caleb you know, saying, "Let me take this city." You see?
And I said, "Brother Bosworth, that man's just out of the cemetery, or seminary." (Excuse me--about the same way.) So I said, "Brother Bosworth," I said, "Brother Bosworth, that--that... You're eighty years old nearly, and that man's just about thirty-five years old."
He said, "That doesn't have anything to do with the Word of God." He said, "Will you let me do it?"
And I said, "No, Brother Bosworth. No. Don't fuss with him. Just let him blow or toot his own horn, and go on."
And he said, "Well, Brother Branham," he said, "you know, to the public I feel like I'd just like to--to show him that he's wrong." He said, "If you'll let me do it, I'll promise you I want fuss one bit."
So I said, "Well, all right. Go ahead."

L-16 And down the stairs he went to the reporter, you know, and so he told them... And then the next day, great headlines "Ecclesiastical Fur Will Fly." You can--you can imagine how the paper prints it, you know. So here they set. And that goes to show... I seen something that night that'll make me believe that someday all born again Christians will be one.
I don't care if they fuss down there, like they do everywhere else. One's a Trinitarian, one's a Unitarian, the other's a oneness, and a twoness, and a fiveness, and all these ups-and-downs, the scruples, and their baptisms, and so forth, all these things.
But that night, when they come, twenty or thirty thousand packed in the auditorium. They didn't care whether they was oneness, or threeness, or drinking from one fountain, two fountain, or riding one hump camel, two, three, or four, or five hump camel; there was one thing on stake, and that was Divine healing. They all believed it. And here they come by trains, planes, and everything, packed out the big Sam Houston coliseum. And so, I wasn't going down, 'cause I just don't like to hear people fussing around the Word of God.

L-17 So that night Something kept telling me to go down. So a couple of policeman come and got me and I went. I went way up in balcony thirty. And so then when they got started, why, they come out there, and so after he... He wanted Mr. Bosworth to take the first part.
So Mr. Bosworth said, "Well, I have written here a six hundred questions, six hundred Scriptures that proves that Christ present attitude towards the sick is just the same as it was the days that He was here on earth. And God has never changed His attitude towards the sick. And if Mr. Best here can take one of these Scriptures and disprove it by the Bible, there'll be no debate. I'll just set down."
So Mr. Best stepped in, "I'll take care of that when I get up there."
He said, "I'll ask you one question. If you'll answer me "yes" or "no," I'll set down and give you the rest of it." He said, "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus, yes or no?" That settled it; that was all.
