<TITLE>17. Par 88-92</TITLE>L-88 He said, "Now, Brother Branham," said, "a Indian boy that was converted..." or not converted, I beg your pardon, come over from India here, and studied electronics, I believe it was. Said, "On his road back, he was standing, talking, and I said to him, 'Young fellow...' He was a Mohammedan. Said, 'When you go back overseas, why don't you just forsake that old dead prophet Mohammed, and accepted the resurrected Lord Jesus?'" And says, "As a Christian, I asked him that."
"And he said to me, 'Kind sir, what could Moham--what could Christ do for me any more than Mohammed could do?' Said, 'You got a book called the Bible; Christ wrote it, you believe, and you believe it.' Said, 'We got a book called the Koran, Mohammed wrote it, and we believe it. Both of them promised life after death. I believe mine and you believe yours.' Said, 'Now, what good would it do me to change from Mohammed to Christ?'"

L-89 Well, he said, "Looky here, your Mohammed is dead and in the grave. Our Jesus is raised and gone to heaven."
The Mohammed looked around, and he wasn't no boy from overnight. He said, "Did He raise from the grave?" Said, "I'd like for you to prove it to me."
He said, "Oh, we know He raised from the dead."
He said, "How do you know He raised from the dead?"
Said, "Well, we got an empty tomb."
Said, "We got hundreds of them in India." And they have: claim resurrections, virgins births, and everything else. Even a little girl of nine years old giving birth to a child, so forth. Virgin born, so forth, sure, they got all that. You just got--get ready to see anything when you go to India.

L-90 See a little boy run up a tree, and a man run up there and cut his head off and his arms off, and throw them down, pick them up, the blood running out of them, stick it in a sack. And the kid jump and run out of the sack and run away. Run through fire, produce all kinds of mystic things and everything else... Christ is not in that. Certainly not. Christ don't lay in miracles in things like that.
The devil can do almost anything but heal; he can't heal. The Bible said he can't heal. But he can perform like Jambres and Jannes, the two-headed god of Egypt, can almost deceive the very elect, the Bible said.

L-91 So he said, "Well now," he said, "now, wait a minute, sir." He said, "We can prove that He's raised from the dead."
Said, "Prove it to me." Said, "You've had two thousand years to do it. And not only--not even one third of the world's ever heard about it." Said, "You let Mohammed raise from the dead, and the whole world will know it in twenty-four hours. That's right. Now, let's look at the thing sensible. That's right."
"Oh," he said, "we know He's raised from the dead."
Said, "How do you know He's raised from the dead?"
Said, "Well, we got the joy and the power in our heart."
He said, "Now, wait just a moment. " He said, "Mr. Reedhead, Mohammedan religion can produce just as much psychology as Christianity can." And that's exactly right.

L-92 I've seen them at the feast of the prophets when they would take a lance and run it through their chin here up through their nose, and pull it back down, and not bleed a drop. I see them take a sword right there in Switzerland and I... Never seen it; I knowed he was down there doing it, run a sword right through his heart like this and put it out in the back. A doctor poured water on this side and it run out that side. Certainly.
Take fingernails, set there and go, "Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah," till they work themselves into a frantic, take splinters, run it up under their fingers, and just sit there and laugh, don't even feel it. Walk through fire with their bare feet like that, lay on spikes, oh, do everything that can be done... See, all them kind of things.
