<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 Now, hear it is. I want you to see it. Notice, what a beautiful picture that when a child was born into the Kingdom of God, the Father has given us a Tutor, the Holy Spirit. Not a bishop, but a Holy Spirit, a Raiser.
And this tutor brought word to the father how the child progressed. And so does the Holy Spirit bring to the Father how His church is progressing. Oh, my. How He must dread to tell the Father the way we behave ourselves. Why, sure. All confused, one is this a way and one... Oh, what a disgrace it is. All separated and divided, arguing, and fussing, and disputing over little petty differences: unbelief, unthankful, unholy, without even natural affection when we should be in love with Father.
Now, so as the tutor, the raiser that was selected by the Father... Oh, do you see it? The Father never selected an archbishop. The Father never selected something else or some denomination, oh, as good as it is. The Father selected the Holy Spirit to be our Teacher. He is to raise us.

L-24 Now, watch the--the tutor's position. What the tutor is to do is to guide and to teach. And he will never teach anything contrary to the schoolbook. Amen. I hope that went into the left side under the fifth rib. Notice. In the Book, this is God's Eternal Word. And the Holy Spirit feeds only on the Word of God. Men...?... shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. You see it? The Holy Spirit keeps on the Word.
Now, that what He teaches has faith in the Word. Believe the Word. But now, we've got away from that. We believe the church. And with all due respect, great programs are crossing the waves which ought not to be even on television, saying that the Bible is nothing. It's the church. But the Bible said, "Let every man's word be a lie and Mine be the Truth. Whosoever shall take one thing out of this Book or add one thing to it, his part will be taken from the Book of Life says the Word of God.

L-25 Paul said, "Though a angel (let alone a bishop, archbishops, or a pope, or whatever it might be.)... Though an Angel from heaven preach any other word to you than this that I've laid and preached, let him be unto you accursed." Galatians 1:8. You see it? So the Holy Spirit is teaching the believer, the Word. And the believer is striving and living on the Word.
Now, the...?... out from under the shadows. He would go up, and he'd say, "Now, I tell you; this boy..." No matter how good a boy he was, how bad he was, he was still a son, because he was born a son. But if he brought word that he wasn't a very good child, he was dilatory, he wasn't mindful of the father's business, that child never come into position to where he should be.
But if the boy was a good boy and was really up about his father's business, then immediately the--the tutor said to the father, "Oh, what a fine boy. He's a lovely chap. And he's worthy. He's watching every move, for the indebtiment of your affairs."

L-26 Are we about our Father's business, of the Holy Spirit...?... getting every soul saved we can, just to--just on the Word. Or are we arrogant, and dilatory, and arguing our little religious differences, and splitting hairs, such nonsense? No wonder faith is gone.
Now, but then the boy never become no more. They're just a boy around the place. But if he was a good boy and was about the father's business, the tutor, the raiser gave word to the father. And then at a certain time... Teachers, I'm speaking of a placing of a child. You understand what I'm doing. All right. Teaching... We was predestinated unto the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ. All right.
