<TITLE>11. Par 90-96</TITLE>L-90 Don't never let nothing hinder this church. If it does, you're guilty, each one of you. And you, in your different churches, if something is going wrong in your church, you're guilty, because you're the overseer of that church. It ain't up to the pastor. It ain't up to the deacon board. It's up to you, you individual, to go to that brother and see if you can have him reconciled. If not, then take two or three with you, then come back. He won't hear that; tell it to the church. Then he's dismissed from the Kingdom of God, God said, "If you dismiss him there, I'll dismiss him Here, if you've went through this order." Then He'll turn the Devil loose to him for the construction... destruction of his flesh. And then he'll come back. That's right. That's the way to make him come back. If he's a child of God, he will come back. If he isn't, why--why, he'll go on, and then the Devil will send him on to his Eternal place.

L-91   Now, the motives of it. If you just get it in for somebody, then that's different. But, if the man is guilty! And Lot had went down and had backslid, though he was a Hebrew. He had went down and was backslid. He was in grace, but he had fallen from it. And when he went out... And Lot--Lot was saved. Don't never think that Lot wasn't saved. He was. Because, all the time when he was in the wrong place, the Bible said, that, "The sins of Sodom vexed his righteous soul daily." Now, his flesh was doing one thing. And what was his end? He brought more disgrace. His wife turned to a pillar of salt. He had children by his daughters. So, you can see what a disgrace it brought, because he had fallen from grace and never restored himself back again. And God had to take him out of the earth.

L-92 But, still, he was a fallen brother, and Abraham done all that he could do to bring him back again. And the Spirit was in Abraham, is the Spirit of Christ that's in the church today. No matter what the brother has done, you'll do all you can to bring him back into the fellowship of Christ again. No matter what he's done, you'll try hard.

L-93   Now, we want to notice here now again, as we go on with this lesson of this Melchisedec, this great Priest of Salem, and the possessor of Heavens and earth. Now, being first:
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor ending of life; but was made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Now watch. He wasn't the Son of God. He was the God of the Son. He wasn't the Son of God, Melchisedec wasn't, but He was the Father of the Son of God.

L-94   Now, this body that He had, He had created. It had not been brought through a woman. So with that created body, He could not... Some body He had made, Hisself, to reveal Himself.
"No man can see God at any time. God is a spirit." Mortal eyes doesn't see those things, 'less it's in a form like the Pillar of Fire, or whatever it was, or in the form of some being that they seen by vision. But the... God has to reveal Himself through some way. And God revealed Himself to Abraham, in the form of a man. He revealed Himself to Moses, in a form of a man. He revealed Himself to the children of Israel, in a form of a Pillar of Fire. He revealed Himself unto John the Baptist, in the form of a dove. You see, He revealed Himself in those forms.
When He was revealing Himself in the form of a Man, as the King of Salem; of Jerusalem; not of the earthly Jerusalem, but the Heavenly Jerusalem. He revealed Himself in that form. He was made "like unto" the Son of God.

L-95   Now, the Son of God had to come through a woman, to be created here; by the womb of a woman, because through that same thing come death.

L-96 And He could not come through creation like God did at the beginning. When God made man at the beginning, woman had nothing to do with it. God just said, "Let there be," and a man came from the dust. He called him, without any woman to have anything to do with it. But, the woman, it then was in the man.
