<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Notice, and when he was just had got all of them, the women laying over on the soldiers backs, and they were doing their little jig dances (we call them out west "a shindig"), all having a big time, whooping it around. They're all hid; nothing could bother them, they're behind great walls.
And I can see this modern jokester stand up, you know, on the telecast and go to get a good religious joke, who had this vessel from the house of the Lord to make fun of it, pouring it full of wine, and just as he started to drink, he looked. There happened to be somebody who can come over the wall. He noticed a man's hand over against where the big candles was flipping it's light on the plaster writing a message on that, that he'd never seen such writing. So I can imagine as he starts to drink and he sees that, his eyes bulge out, his knees goes together, and he's really all shook up. He sure is. That modern Elvis.
The Bible said that his knees beat together and his bones seemed like they was coming apart. There'll be a shaking up time, all right, one on these days. Just watch, it's not too far away. And he really was shook up then.

L-31 And the first thing you know, some little painted face Jezebel looked around and said, "What's the matter?" And then she was all shook up. And then he thought, "Well now, wait a minute. No one can get in the gate. The guards are at the gate. No one can get over the wall; we got the wall lit. But God can look down. God hates sin and loves the sinner, but He hates the sin. He loves America, but He hates her sin. He loves His church, but He hates the sin in the church. And it hasn't changed: spirit don't die. The same spirits was in them people, are in these people today. The devil takes his man but never his spirit. God takes His man, but never His Spirit.

L-32 Remember, the Spirit was upon Elijah, came on Elijah, then on John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit on Christ come down. Then those Pharisees and teachers of Jesus' day... Look at them today. Look back there in Babylon, on them Gentiles; look at these Gentiles' behavior today. Wake up before it's too late to wake up. I'm afraid it is. There you are.
And we never seen anything like that. Oh, you said, "Call all the district presbyters, all the pastors, and the bishops, and the cardinals, and the pope. Get them all out here; these spiritual men will understand this."
And when he went and got all the bishops, and the cardinals, the pastors, and the pope, and got them all out there, they didn't know nothing about unknown tongues, about spiritual things. They'd never heard of such a thing, never heard a language like that. "Well," they said, "We don't know nothing about those things." Only thing they knowed was their creeds, and their prayer book, and their theology.

L-33 If that ain't a pattern of the American church today, I don't know it. They don't know nothing about supernatural, they don't care nothing about supernatural; they don't believe in the supernatural. The only thing they know, if they're Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, and so forth. That's all they know.
Sometimes don't know more about God, than a Hottentot would know about an Egyptian knight. And that's the way it stands. As it was then, so is it now. But we think we're secure as long as we're Baptist. I talk about my own church; I guess that's all right. "Long as we're Baptist, we're all right." You're not all right until you're borned again. You can join all the Baptist churches in the world, and go to hell like a martin to its box, and any of the rest of them.
