<TITLE>06. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 If it wasn't, then He wasn't a Saviour, He wasn't Jehovah-jireh. And if He was, He's Jehovah-rapha, the same yesterday, today, and forever. So he couldn't answer it. So when he got up, he preached a pretty good Campbellite sermon (That's right.), just talking about the resurrection when this mortal puts on immortality, and Divine healing would be in the millennium, when we're immortal. I don't get it. So now he said it was a Baptist sermon. I was rocked in a Baptist cradle, I know what Baptists believe.
But it was no--was no Baptist doctrine connected with it. And then, afterwards, he kept saying, "Bring on that Divine healer. Let me see him heal somebody. Then let me see him... He could work them up in their psychology, and so forth, and let me see them in a year from today and I'll tell you whether they're healed or not. Bring that Divine healer forward."
Mr. Bosworth said, "Aren't you ashamed to say that?"
So he knew I was up there. So he said, "Now, if the debate is settled," he said, "all right." Said, "Now, if Brother Branham wishes to come down and dismiss the audience," said, "I know he's here, but he don't have to."

L-19 So my brother was standing by me, and he said--said, "Now, you set still."
I said, "Well, ain't I setting still?"
And so, my wife was standing there, you know. And he said, "Now, you ain't going down there."
I said, "I never said a word about going."
And so, I was setting way up. And so he said, "Now, if he wants to come..." And about that time I heard something go... [Brother Branham makes a whistling noise--Ed.] that circle of Light come down. I don't care who says anything then; that settles it.
I said... Raised up.
And Howard said, "Set down."
My wife said, "Looky there, Howard." So my brother set down.

L-20 About five hundred ushers put their hands together and made a line, come up to the platform. I said, "I'd like to shake hands with Mr. Best."
I said, "Don't know one thing hard at him."
I said, "We got boys over in Korea, fighting, that we can have freedom of religion, free..." I said, "I don't believe what he believes. But I said, "I differ with him in theology, but after all, this is America. He's got a right to believe what he wants." I said, "Don't none of you think hard of him, because his mother loves him the same as mine loves me." I said, "Now, I was reminded though, when he kept saying, 'Bring that healer forth,' the same spirit that said, 'Come off the cross and we'll believe you.'"
Christ saw visions, and one day they put a rag around His head and hit Him on the head, and said, "Now, if You're a prophet, tell us who hit you and we'll believe you." I said, "That's the same spirit," but I said, "I'm sorry that our brothers anointed with it." But I said, "Now, as far as healing anybody," I said, "I--I don't claim to heal anybody."

L-21 I said, "If preaching Divine healing makes me a Divine healer, then preaching salvation makes you a Divine Saviour." So I said, "I only preach it by the Word; that's all."
And I said, "Now, as far as the visions, God speaks for His gifts." I said, "That's--that's questioned." And about that time when he said that, the Angel of the Lord come above, whirled back and made a great big whirl, and here He come down through the building like that, coming down. People been screaming." I said, "He speaks now." I said, "If I tell the truth, God's obligated to speak for me. And if I don't tell the truth, God will have nothing to do with a lie; you know that."
And just then here He come. And they took the picture of It there, and he took it down to the--the Douglas Studio; shot the picture of it, took it down... A Catholic boy took the picture, and a Jew. And so they went down to the studio to look it over. And he said, "I don't believe it'll show. I believe it's just... We just imagined that too, 'cause everybody's pointing to It, and so forth."
