<TITLE>02. Par 228-243</TITLE>L-228   Now, in this Book of the Hebrews, we won't take the background tonight.

L-229 Now, next Sunday, the Lord willing, Brother Neville will announce. Brother Cox here, or some of them, will let him know, if we get in in time for next Sunday's meeting. He'll announce it on the radio. And we're... You all listen to his radio now, and--and--and invite all your neighbors to listen. I really get joy out of listening to their preaching and singing, the Neville quartet. I don't say that because he's setting here. If I said that, and didn't mean it in my heart, I'd be a hypocrite. That's right. I'd have to repent. But I mean it. And I'd rather give him a little rosebud now than a whole wreath after he's gone.

L-230   One time I was walking out the door there, and there was a lady come by, and she said, "Brother Branham, oh, how I enjoyed that message!"

L-231 I said, "Thank you." Made me feel good.

L-232 Somebody else come by, said, "Brother Branham, I enjoy that Message."

L-233 I said, "Thank you."

L-234 There was a little preacher there, from up here in the north part of the country, in state, he said, "Bless God, I don't want people to brag on me like that."

L-235 I said, "I do." And I said, "There's just one difference between me and you. I'm honest about it." That's right. We all like to hear nice words said about us. And I--I think it's nice to say nice words about it. And if you want somebody to say nice words about you, say some nice words about somebody else. That's the way to do that, then you'll always say the nicest things you can about everybody. And that makes the wheel roll better.

L-236   Now, in this, next Sunday, the Lord willing, to my opinion, we got, just getting deeper and deeper into these great mysteries of God. We're going into Melchisedec: Who He was, where He come from, where He went, what happened to Him, and all about Melchisedec.

L-237 And now, last Wednesday night, Brother Neville hit on the finishing chapter of the supreme Deity and the priesthood of our Lord Jesus, which starts out in the beginning, "God, in sundry times and divers manners spake to the fathers by the prophets, in this last day has spoken to us through His Son, Christ Jesus."

L-238 Then he goes on, and begins to tell and pattern who He was, brings Him on down to the 5th chapter, at the end of the 5th chapter.

L-239 Then beginning at the 6th chapter, we got this in our lesson this morning.
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection;...

L-240   How many enjoyed the message on perfection? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "Let us go on to perfection." That was our Message, this morning, in the 6th chapter of the Hebrews.

L-241 Now we're just getting into the place to where we begin to get the--the real part. Oh, we can all agree upon these things: upon the Deity of Christ; and Him being the Son of God; and how He was with God, and God was with Him; and He was in God, and God in Him, and so forth. We all agree upon that. But, now, from here on, I don't know how we're going to agree. So whatever it is, every few nights, we're going to give you a chance and write me a little note and tell me what you think about It.

L-242   Then I'll have to answer questions. And if I can't get them, I'll say, "Brother Neville, what do you think about that?" I'll say, "There he is. Let him answer it." [Brother Neville says, "That's when I'll read the Greek."--Ed.] Then is when He's going to read the lexicon, get the Greek out. I think it's time for me to do, also.

L-243 But, now, if we will get down and be real sincere, and really come for one purpose, that's, to learn. I want to learn, too. And the Bible is written, said, "It is... The Scriptures are of no private interpretation." That means the Scripture must interpret Scripture. See? Each Scripture must interpret the other, all the way through the Bible, to make it one great thing. Because, God can't change, because He's the unchangeable God.
