<TITLE>18. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 And he said, "Besides that, Mr. Reedhead, being that you mentioned it," he said, "let me see you teachers produce what Jesus Christ said that you would, and then we Mohammedans are ready to believe that He raised from the dead and you're right." Said, "You see, Mohammed never give any promises after death. He just promised us eternal life after death." But said, "Jesus promised you--His servants that they would do the same things that He did to prove that He raised from the dead."
Dr. Reedhead said, "Oh, I--I suppose you're referring to Mark 16, where it said, 'Go ye in all the world, preach the Gospel, these signs shall follow them that believe; My Name they shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; take up serpents; drink deadly things, it won't harm them; lay hands on the sick and..."
He said, "That's one place, yes, one."
He said, "Well, of course, sir, we learned in the seminary that that Word's not inspired; from the 9th verse on of Mark 16, it was just added."
He said, "What? What kind of a Bible are you reading?" Said, "All the Koran's inspired. All of our bible's inspired, and just parts of yours is inspired? How can you have faith for it then?" If that wasn't a disgrace to Christianity...

L-58 He said, "Brother Branham, I kicked my foot on the ground and changed the subject." And he said, "I promised, being as staunch as Baptist as I am, that someday I'd go to Chattanooga and get Don Wells, your friend," the big Baptist church in...?... Said I, said, "I would come and visit you and ask you. I've got degrees that I could plaster the wall with." He said, "But where's Jesus in all of it."
I said, "To know you're--have a degree of B.A. or D.D. or L.D. or whatever it is, has nothing to do with Christ. Not to have a degree, not to know the Bible, not to know your catechism, not to know the doxology, not to know the apostles creed, but to know Him in the power of His resurrection is Life Eternal."

L-59 That's when the things was performed, which I trust that He will do tonight. That ten thousand staunch Mohammedans fell at the feet of Jesus at one time at Durban, South Africa, along with twenty-thousand others, which made thirty-thousand in all, at one altar call. They just believed.
Now, it--it's either one thing you've got to face; there's no need of trying to find a loop-hole to dodge your unbelief, Jesus said, not only there, but many places in the Bible, and all through the Bible, "I will be with you to the end of the world. The things that I do shall you do also to the end of the world." Mark 11:24 said, "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it, and you shall have it," See?
You'd have to cut the Bible to pieces to take those promises out. Then you wouldn't have a Bible. Every Word's inspired, every bit of it. And it's true.
