<TITLE>06. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 Well, he said the Mohammedan looked kindly down, and he looked up he said, "Kind, sir, what could your Jesus do for me any more then what my prophet can do?" I... Christian brethren and sisters, listen to this. Said, "What could your Jesus do for me any more than my prophet can do?" Said, "One wrote a book that you call the Bible. You read it and believe it. The other one wrote the book called the Koran. We read it and believe it." He said, "Now, both promise life after death and we both believe it." He said, "Now, what could your prophet, or your Christ do for us any more than our prophet?"
Well, Dr. Reedhead said, "Well," said, "your prophet is laying there dead in the grave." And perhaps, maybe some of you travelers have seen the same as I. They keep a white horse at the grave, and have for right at two thousand years, expecting Mohammed to rise and conquer the world. The horse guard changes every so many hours, and he's in the grave. And he was a believer in God. Only the Mohammedan priest, when he rings the big bong on top of the building, he says, "There's one true and living God and Mohammed is His prophet."
We say, "There's one true and living God and Jesus is His Son." And that's the difference.

L-19 And so, he said, "Now, what could your Jesus do for me any more than he?"
"Why," he said, "our Jesus raised from the dead, and your prophet is in the grave." He said, "That's the difference."
"Why," he said, "did He raise from the grave?" He said, "I'd like to see you prove it."
"Oh," he said, "Why, the tomb's empty."
Said, "Oh, in India, we got thousands of those." Which they have. That's right, they claim. Virgin births? Oh, my, my. You could stack piles of literature that high on virgin births and so forth. And there is more virgin births besides Christ. Every bee that's borned, almost, after the second droning is virgin, no male contact at all. And why the virgin birth is such a question in people' mind, when there's virgin birth all along. So then, Christ was the virgin born Son of God. And so then, we...

L-20 He said, "Then I said to him, 'Well. You see... '"
He said, "Now, what could your Christ give to me any more than what my prophet has given?"
Well, he said, "Now, we can prove He--He's raised from the dead." Said, "We can prove it."
"Well," said, "I'd like to see you do it, and then we'll believe it." Uh-huh.
He said, "Well, He lives in my heart."
"Well," he said, "Mohammed lives in mine."
He said, "But you see, we got joy, and--and gladness, and we--we can have the victory, and..."
He said, "Now, just a moment, Mr. Reedhead." Said, "The Mohammedan religion can produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." And now, brethren, you know that's the truth. See? Said, "We can be just as..."

L-21 Oh, I've seen them when they would, at the feast of the prophets, when they'd even take a lance and run through their nose up like that, and pull it back, not even a drop of blood. Shout and scream and go on and everything, oh, sure, certainly. And see, much of psychology... That's right. Even in Africa, where they have the devil worship, where they drinking blood out of a human skull, and call the power of the devil... And why, it was a hideous thing to be around, even. See? How the witch doctors challenge you right out there. You better know what you're talking about. You bet... You can play it here and just act like it. But when you come face to face with the thing, you better know what you're speaking of. See?
I'm... That's what I'm trying to say to my brethren this morning. Brethren, we had the churches bubble dance long enough. You see? We got to get down to something real. See? Them things are all right. It's the joy of the Lord many times instead of the power of the Lord. See, see?
