<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>L-337-807 Go ahead, you want to be contentious, Paul said, "We have no such custom, neither the Church of God." So if you want to belong to Cain's side, well, just go ahead. But this is what Paul was saying.
Oh, and I don't mean to laugh, 'cause it's not a laughing matter. But I tell you friends; it's a shame to see the way that these things has been permitted to do, I...
Listen. To you, my dear sisters, I want you to look your best and be your best; that's what you ought to be. That's what you ought to be. And you ought to be as sweet and fresh and everything as you can when your husband comes, just the same as that was your sweetheart. And you ought to meet him at the door with a--with just with a kiss as sweet to him as it was the day you kissed him at the altar to be your husband. That's right. I don't blame you for looking your best and being your best. And I want you to be that way. God knows I do.

L-338-810 Here some time ago, I was talking to Jack Shuler. Whoever heard of Jack Shuler? The most famous preacher the Methodist has got. He said, "A woman come, said--hair all dirty, and chewing chewing-gum, and her clothes half on her, said, 'You know, my husband won't even put up with me any more.'"
He said, "I don't blame him."
That's right. Now, but what you've got to do, you've got to be in the right way. Don't take your freshness and beauty out of Hollywood; take it out of the Bible. Before God, be a lady; act like a lady; dress like a lady; be clean. Act like a lady; don't wear those...

L-338-813 Any man that lets his wife get out and wear those little old things before men, and them little old things, get out on the lawn and mow the yard, and things like that... Mister, I'm telling you, brother, I don't--I don't mean to be mean, I--I... God knows that; that's my heart. But I--I... I'm going to have to change a whole lot before I'd let mine do it. I'm going to be boss up on the hill up there as long as I can. You see? And when I can't, I'm going to move off from there. That's right.
Oh, brother, that's a shame and a disgrace for women to do that. And I--I don't mean, sister... I--I'm not degrading you; I'm just trying to say... Our church here has no members; people just come here. But this is a house of God, and we absolutely tell people not to wear those things, that it's... They're going to answer for it at the day of judgment. Now, watch here. And let your hair grow out (See?) and be a lady.

L-338-815 Now.
Now, in this that is... I declare unto you I praise you not, for that you come together for... not for the better, but for the worse.
For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and so forth,... (It goes on now to the communion table.)
Now, listen to that. That's why that the angels...
Now, Brother Palmer, I ain't telling you on this tape: you preach the same thing down there that I'm doing here. But you know good and well, and you being a preacher, you know that's the truth, brother. All right.

L-339-818 So the angels here are the men. If you notice it, Brother Palmer, it's in the little letter, the angels. And the Bible goes ahead... He's talking about the man and his wife (See?); that's what the subject is.
That's the way people get so confused in the Bible; they say, "Well, God says one thing here, and one..." No, you--you get off the subject. Stay right on the same subject; that's all. He's talking about man and wife.
