<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 And he said, "Well, if Divine healing was in the atonement, as--as sin was included in the atonement, atoned for," said, "we would have no pain, that if it was in--Divine healing was in the atonement, pain would be took away, for the atonement killed the very effects of sin."
I thought, "I want to ask you something, brother. Is there temptation?"
He said, "Yeah."
"Then there's pain." That's right. Sure, sure. It's your faith that overrides it. Certainly. Your faith is what does it, answers.
So he said, he said, "Well, if I'll...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Isaiah said that He took...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] His stripes [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] prove it to you by the Bible will you accept it?"
And I said, "Yes, sir. The Bible said so, then--then that's right."

L-6 He said, "Well, in Matthew 8, the Bible said, 'As they brought to Jesus, all those that were sick and afflicted, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, "He took our infirmities.'" And I said... He said, "You see that now, brother? It was fulfilled right there, every bit of it."
I said, "Well, brother, that was a year and six months before the atonement was ever made. That was before Jesus was ever died on the cross. There was no atonement at that time. Then according to your doctrine, then the atonement had more effect before it was made than it had this side, after it become the atonement.
So then he went to using some great big words, seeing that my education was limited. I said, "I haven't got the gift of interpretation yet." I said, "You just speak the plain old language to me, and I--I--we'll talk about it."
And he went on. And I said... He said, "Oh, it's in the atonement, so forth."
I said, "I want to ask you something, brother. Do you believe that Divine healing is in the Word."

L-7 I was going to take him right here, and over in Mark 11:24. Jesus said, "Whatsoever things when you pray, believe that you receive it and ye shall have them," no matter what it is.
I said, "Did Jesus place it in the Word, Divine healing in the Word?"
He said, "Yes, He mentioned 'whatsoever things.'"
I said, "That's right." I said, "Then if He put it in the Word, the Word's ahead of the atonement."
"Oh," he said, "Ridiculous, Brother Branham." Said, "No, sir." Said, "That's sacrilegious."
I said, "Oh, no. It isn't sacrilegious." I said, "He--He's got keep His Word."
And he said...
"Well, I'm going to tell you something. One time there was a king had a great kingdom, and all of his domain, he made the rules and regulations, the penalties and so forth, and when he did, he had a certain sin when it was committed, the penalty was death."
