<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 Now, a man that would make that remark, there's something wrong down here below the fifth rib on the left side. So a Christian wouldn't make that remark. However, when the meeting started, and they was going to get thirty minutes a piece. So Mr. Bosworth got up with his little Book in his hand. He asked from the moderator, he said, "Now, I'll ask Mr. Best." Said, "I've six hundred Scriptures here that shows that Christ's same attitude towards the sick today is just as it was when He was here on the earth in a human body." Said, "Now, Brother Branham, is out of the picture; we're talking about Bible doctrine on Divine healing."
Well, I wondered what he was going... Said, "I'll give this Book to Mr. Best, and wait till he's satisfied to pick out one of those six hundred Scriptures, and if he can take one of those six hundred Scriptures, and prove by the Bible, disprove that my statements, that Christ is the same today, His attitude towards the sick." Said, "Then I'll walk off the platform, and won't say one more word about it, and give them debate to him, and apologize to this audience."

L-13 He wouldn't take the Book. Then he asked the moderator if he could ask Mr. Best one question. They give him leave.
He said, "Mr. Best, if you'll answer this question, yes or no, just say either yes or no. If you'll make one of those statements, I'll turn it over to you and walk off the platform." Mr. Best nodded to say he would do it.
Mr. Bosworth said, "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus, yes or no?" That settled it. He couldn't answer it.
If He isn't Jehovah-rapha, the Healer, he isn't Jehovah-jireh, the Lord's provided Sacrifice. And if He is Jehovah-jireh, He's also Jehovah-rapha, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Well, there was nothing to be done.

L-14 Mr. Best knowed better than to handle that. But if that old fellow at nearly eighty didn't stand there and tie that Scriptures together, till I never heard anything like it in my life. That man didn't have a place... He couldn't even preach a good Baptist sermon. He preached a good Campbellite sermon, but not a Baptist. Now, I was rocked in a Baptist cradle; I know what Baptist doctrine is.
So he preached that he didn't even believe that Lazarus was healed. He believed that if Lazarus had been healed, he would've never died no more. But Divine healing comes over in another age. Well, we've got a glorified body then, and we don't need healing.
And when he sat down, Mr. Bosworth asked him the question, and he--the moderators had done... He hadn't answered one question of Mr. Bosworth, or answered, or approached that question. So he just preached on, something on a good Campbellite sermon.

L-15 So then, when that taken place, the jumped up and he said, hit his fist on the platform, he said, "Let me see that Divine healer come forth and perform."
And he, Mr. Bosworth, said, "Well now, Mr. Branham doesn't claim to be a Divine Healer sir."
"Let me see him perform." And he said, "Then let me check one of those peoples a year from today. He can't do that hypnotizing and get by with it with me."
So then they had to stop it. And so Mr. Bosworth said, "Now, I know that Brother Branham's in the meeting. If he wants to, he can come and dismiss the audience."
And so my brother said, "Now, you set still."
"Why," I said, "ain't I setting still?" And I just set there a little bit, and all of a sudden I felt the Holy Spirit real near. And I got up, started raising up, and--and Howard, my brother, said, "Set down." Two policemen were standing there, and he said, "Set down."
And I said, "I can't Howard, the Holy Spirit is a leading me."
