<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 And I can just think of about six thousand years ago when there was not a speck of any kind of life on the earth, just a mere bleak desert, not no life at all. And we're taught in the Bible that we are the dust of the earth. God made us from the dust. You say, "He made the original man, Adam, from the dust." But He made you from the dust.
You can only live because something dies. Every day something has to die so you can live physically. If you eat beef, the cow died. If you eat pork, the hog died. If you eat fish, the fish died. If you eat potato, the potato died. If you eat bread, the wheat died. You live by dead substance.
Therefore, if it takes dead substance to make us live physical, how much more did it take death so we could live spiritually forever? Something had to die. So therefore, we could think that those who think that water baptism saves, that's out. Those who thinks that good works saves, or law, that's out. It taken death that you might live. Christ died. And the Bible said to know Him is life, not to know of Him, but to know Him, the Person, is life.

L-11 Let us take now for a few moments a little mental picture, and just see how complete it is. I was speaking at a Kiwanis some time ago, and a doctor was a little skeptic. And he said, "The whole thing seems to be muddled in my mind, Reverend Branham. I'm a little skeptic of a virgin birth. I'm a little skeptic of Christ really being the Son of God."
So I asked him that question. I said, "Doctor, is it true that every time I eat, I renew my life?"
He said, "That's correct, makes blood cells."
I said, "Then I want to ask you something, being a scientist too. How is it that when I was sixteen years old, I eat the same food that I eat now, bread, potatoes, so forth. And every time I eat, I got stronger and larger. And after I passed about twenty-five years, I eat the same food now, and instead of getting stronger and bigger, I'm getting older and weaker."

L-12 Now, if you're pouring water into a glass out of a--a container, and that glass starts filling up, and then it gets to a certain place, then you pour faster and more, and it continually goes down without any place for it to leak out. It cannot be explained scientifically, but it can be by the Bible, for it's an appointment that God has made. And that's the only way it can be explained.
But we got the blessed hope of knowing this: that God brings us to a certain age, makes a picture out of it, and death sets in, but in the resurrection there will not be one sight of death. All the old age and things will be gone forever. Everything that the devil did and death did, will be taken away, and every memory of it. It'll be gone forever.

L-13 For instance, here about a year or two ago, I was combing what few hairs I have. And my wife said to me; she said, "Billy, you're getting bald-headed."
I said, "But I haven't lost a one of them."
She said, "Where are they at?"
And I said, "You tell me where they were before I got them; I'll tell you where they are waiting for me to come to them." And that's right. They wasn't; then they were, and they were not again. They come from somewhere.
Now, in the beginning our, if we came from the dust of the earth, our bodies laid on this earth at the beginning.
