<TITLE>17. Par 54-56</TITLE>L-54 So now--now the next thing is, is He alive? Now, you--you could explain it by the Word. Here just recently... May I say this while they're getting ready.
One of the finest scholars of the land came to me recently, and he said that he was sending a Mohammedan back to his country. And was educated here to civil engineering, back to India...
And Doctor Morse Reedhead, Vice President of the Sudan Missions, the biggest in the world. He said, "I said to him, Brother Branham, 'Why don't you forsake that old dead prophet Mohammed, and accept the resurrected Lord Jesus and take Him back with you?'"
He said, "Kind, sir," he said, "what could your Lord Jesus do for me..." Listen now, "What could your Lord Jesus do for me any more than what my dead prophet can do for me?" He said, "You read the Bible, and you believe it; we read the Koran, and we believe it."
He said, "Oh, but you see, sir," he said, "Mohammed is dead and in his grave; Jesus raised and is alive."
The Mohammedan said, "Did He?" Said, "You've had two thousand years to prove it; and two thirds of the people in the world never heard His Name."

L-55 That a disgrace? Because we've done everything else besides what Jesus told us to do. Jesus never did say build a church. Jesus never did say build a hospital. But they're good. Jesus never did say build a school. No, sir, He never commissioned His disciples to do such. They're fine; I'm not condemning them. But we've taken another road. He never did say for man to have a seminary, but He said, "Preach the Gospel; heal the sick; raise the dead; cast out devils: as freely as you receive, freely give."
And we've done everything else but that. We adopted schools and education, emotions, and denominations, brought up barriers, "We're Methodist; we have nothing to do with you Baptist. And we Presbyterians have nothing to do with either one of you. And we're Catholics, and we're over the whole thing." There you are. See? No wonder you can't believe.

L-56 And the Mohammedan said, "Oh," Dr. Reedhead said, "Oh, He's raised?"
He said, "How do I know He's raised?"
He said, "Well, you see," said, "we have the joy of knowing it."
He said, "Now, just a minute, Dr. Reedhead, I respect you and your religion." He said, "But the Mohammedan religion can produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." Said, "We're just as happy and rejoice just as much waiting for Mohammed to come back as you are waiting for Jesus."
Dr. Reedhead said, "I knowed that I hadn't meet some fellow that just woke up." He said, "He was a scholar."
He said, "Now, we can produce just as much psychology as you can." He said, "We have just as much happiness." He said, "Look, you teachers has had two thousand years to prove that He raised, and two thirds of the world never heard of Him." He said, "Let Mohammed raise from the grave and the whole world will know it in twenty-four hours." He had something, certainly, he did.
