<TITLE>10. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 And he said, "Mr. Reedhead," said, "Let me... Mohammed only promised life after death. Your Jesus promised you believers would do the same thing He did. Now, let us see you believers... We Mohammedan want..." Which they're three to one to Christianity, in numbers. Said, "let us Mohammedans see you Christians produce what your teacher said, then we'll believe he raised from the dead."
"Well, he said, "now, I suppose you're meaning Mark 16." 
He said, "That's one Scripture." He said, "Well, now," said, "we--the--the lower class of people, they kindly hummel over that and say it, but we better scholars know that Mark 16, from the 9th verse on, is not inspired."
He said, "Mr. Reedhead, what kind of a Bible are you reading?" Said, "All the Koran's inspired."
See there, the defeat? It's afraid. Now, here it is. I don't want it to hurt, but I want it to get down in your lungs and heart. See? It's afraid to face the issue. It's afraid to call God's Word right, and you're trying to dodge around it. "All the Koran's inspired." But then if part of the Bible's inspired, just the part that you want to be inspired. Well then, if it all isn't inspired, then it isn't the Word of God. And if the Bible said that Jesus raised from the dead, I believe Jesus raised from the dead. That settles it.

L-30 Now, here some time ago on the Ohio River where I live, there's a little boy went out and asked his mother, he said, "Mother, God is so great, could anybody see Him?"
She said, "Ask the--your Sunday school teacher."
Well, they asked the teacher, and the teacher said, "Ask the pastor."
The pastor said, "No, no one can see God."
He went up the river to the island, six miles above Jeffersonville. One day he was coming down after a storm, a rainbow come out, and the old fisherman pulling his boat. He looked up at the rainbow and started crying: white beard with the tears run down his cheeks. The little fellow, so enthused he run forward and he fell down; he said, "Sir, I want to ask you a question that nobody seems to be able to answer me. Can anybody see God?"
The old fisherman pulled the oars in his lap, and grabbed the little boy, and said, "God bless your heart, honey. All I've seen for the past forty years has been God." You have to get Him in here to see Him out there. He has to dwell within.
Jesus said, "A little while and the world will see Me no more. Yet ye shall see Me for I (and I is a personal pronoun), I'll be with you, even in you to the end of the world." Then He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

L-31 Now, if we would see Jesus, and He's omnipotent, omnipresent, He's got to be in Cleveland tonight, for He made this promise, "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I will be in their midst." Now, if we've gathered here tonight in Christ's Name, you can now by faith see Him coming out of the corridors of heaven, walking down to be here. If it isn't, His Word's wrong. And if it's wrong, your faith's wrong; your hope's wrong; you're lost, and there's nothing to you.
As Longfellow said,
Tell me not in mournful numbers, that
Life is just an empty dream!
... the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! And life is earnest!
The grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
And lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
With partings, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
