<TITLE>03. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 There could be fiction stories and say, "Oh, well, He never rose." Sometime ago when Brother Reedhead, what's his first name? [Someone says Paris--Ed.] Paris, Paris Reedhead came to my house.
Now, Paris Reedhead is a Baptist. And he came to me and he said, "Brother Branham, knowing that you were a Baptist, you ought to know truth as the Baptist think it, you know." He said, "Um, what's these Pentecostals got?"
I said, "The baptism of the Holy Spirit."
He said, "I was called of God when I was about six years old." And he said, "I've went everywhere; my mother schooled me." And said, "When I got my a degree, my bachelor of art," said, "I thought I'd find Christ there." Said, "When I got my doctor's degree, I thought I'd find Christ. When I got my L.L.D., I thought I would find Christ." But said, "I've got enough degrees till I could almost plaster your wall with them." He said, "But where is Christ? I didn't find Him in any of it." Says, "Has the teacher's been wrong?"
I said, "As an illiterate person as myself, I certainly wouldn't want to say that the teachers was wrong. They told you truth, but not all the truth."
Christ doesn't lay in degrees, He lays in faith, believing Him in the Person Christ.

L-15 He told me a story of a Mohammedan that had been a reared, I believe, in their missions, I think in Sudan missions, wasn't that, the great Sudan missions.
And this Mohammedan on his road back, Brother Reedhead said to him, said, "Sir," going back after being educated for something another in India. Said, "You're going back to work in your nation as maybe a electrical engineer, whatever he had taken." Said, "Why don't you take back with you a Lord Jesus instead of that dead prophet that you're worshipping?"
He said, "Kind sir," he said, "what could your Lord Jesus do for me any more than my prophet can do?" He said, "They both wrote books; we--we call ours the Koran; you call yours the Bible. And we both believe the books."

L-16 Why, he said, "Mister", he said, "our Christ has raised from the dead and your Mohammed prophet is still in the grave."
He said, "Did he raise from the dead? I would like to see Him." Oh, he said, "How do you know that He raised from the dead?"
Mr. Reedhead said, "He lives in my heart."
He said, "So does Mohammed live in my heart."
He said, "Well, we have joy of knowing it."
He said, "Now, Mr. Reedhead, Mohammedan religion can produce just as much psychology as Christianity." Said, "We can shout just as loud, and scream just as loud, dance just as hard, and everything as you can." He said, "But we Mohammedans are waiting to see you teachers prove that Jesus raised from the dead." He said, "Mohammed never promised nothing but life after death." He said, "But Jesus promised to His teachers that the works that He did, they would do also. We're waiting to see those works."
He said, "Well, maybe you're thinking about in the Scripture there of a Mark 16?"
He said, "That's one place, yes, sir."
He said, "Well, the better teachers know that Mark 16 from the 9th verse on is not even inspired, so that was..."
He said, "What kind of a book are you reading? All the Koran's inspired."

L-17 And Mr. Reedhead said that he kicked the dust and changed the subject. That's right. Because that He knew, just talking to the Mohammed, he was defeated. He said, "And, Brother Branham, I'm here to find out something about God."
And there Morse or Brother Reedhead has re--Paris Reedhead has received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and is preaching the Gospel with signs and wonders following his ministry because that he believed, was hungering and thirsting for righteousness. God said, "They shall be filled." The Word is true.
