<TITLE>02. Par 512-520</TITLE>L-512   Now, the little tabernacle has no membership, but we have fellowship. We have no creed but Christ, no law but love, no book but the Bible. That's the only Book that we know of, and the only thing that we know, as we have. As the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins, we have fellowship one with the other, everybody.

L-513   I was noticing, this morning, to some of you people might have heard the brother praying. That was a Catholic, so, or formerly a Catholic. And we have all different types of people come here. Just had the privilege, a few moments ago, to shake the hand of a Mennonite brother who is setting in here. And from the Mennonites, from the Methodists, from the Baptists, and the Catholic, or whosoever will, let them come. And we fellowship together around the blessings of God's Word. Setting present is Jehovah Witness and different types of the people, saw different denominations.

L-514   I used to love (well, I do yet) the West. I love horses and cattle. I was just raised on a farm, and I--I love it. And we used to have the round up, and I'd go with them. And we had a drift fence. I don't know whether you Eastern people know what a drift fence, is or not. It's when you put the cattle into the--the forest, they have a fence to keep them from drifting what they called, come back down to the ranches. They'd eat up the grass, where they're raising the grass for the winter feed. And then up in the mountain, they also have drift fences, where they separate so many females and male, and so forth. It's called a drift fence. But the main drift fence is where the ranger stands when the cattle are going through.

L-515   And now I've sat there, a many day, in my saddle, and watched them as the cattle would go through. There was all different kinds of brands went in. There was some called the "Diamond." And some of them called the "Bar X." And some... Ours was the "Tripod," something like a Boy Scout emblem. The next fellow, below it, was a "turkey track" on the horse. And they had all different kinds of brands, to--to know their cattle when they drove them out.

L-516 Now, the ranger wasn't so interested in what brand they had, but here's what, the ranger was interested to watch a tag in their ear. Everything that went in there, no matter what brand it was, had to be a thoroughbred Hereford. It could not go in there unless it was a Hereford. Had to be registered stock or it couldn't get through.

L-517   I think, on that day when the Lord comes, He's not going to pay any attention to what brand we're wearing, but if we're all born-again Christians. That's right. That's the stock of Christ. The Blood test is going to prove us, we're all Christians. And if we're going to all be that way there, we might as well be that way here. Don't you think so? That's the way, we appreciate all fellowship from all different churches.

L-518   Now we're studying in this blessed Book of Hebrews. One brother has enjoyed it so much till he's taken the tapes and he's making a book of lectures on this.

L-519 Now we're going to come, pretty soon, to the 11th chapter. We expect to spend the winter on that, on the 11th chapter. For each one of those characters, we wish to go back through the Book and tie the entire Scripture together. I was going to do it. I do in portion, on some of this, of these former chapters, to get the whole Book tied together. For, you see, Scripture must prove Scripture.

L-520 Therefore, if there's any contradiction, that anyone would think that the Scriptures contradict each other, that's an error. There is no Scripture contradicts a Scripture. The--the contradiction is where that maybe It contradicts our way of looking at It, but It doesn't contradict Itself. I've been in the ministry, going on twenty-six years now, and I have never, one time, found one thing in the Bible that contradict anything else was written in the Bible. And I--I just know it isn't there.
