<TITLE>15. Par 62-64</TITLE>L-62 And these people telling you that Elvis Presley (a nothing against the man, only he's a sinner, but I want to say something.), saying, "He's religious, because he sings songs on the..." Brother, that... I... Here's my conception. There's one difference between Judas Iscariot and Elvis Presley. He was a Pentecostal boy. Judas Iscariot got thirty pieces of silver; Elvis Presley got a fleet of Cadillacs and a million dollars. They both sold out. That's exactly right. The biggest deceiver I know of... Pat Boone and all the rest of them. Exactly right. Arthur Godfrey and Pea Picker Ernie, anybody, if you listen to such stuff as that, it shows that the devil's satisfying that...?... of Hollywood. All--all that loyalty that you're spending on rascals like that, you ought to be giving that praise to Almighty God, for He's a jealous God.
Them guys can stand, and sing songs, and make tears come to your eyes like crocodiles.

L-63 Listen, I happen to raise sheep. It takes a real sheep man to know the difference between the bleat of a wolf and a--a bleat of a lamb and a goat. They both bleat alike. That has nothing to do with it. If your life don't tally up to God's Bible, you're still in darkness. Right.
And the most deceitful thing there is in the world is the religious thing, putting on religion.
We got a guy there in Louisville committed suicide the other day. He'd go down there, and old rock-and-rolls all night long, and out to big shindigs, and come on Sunday morning, and preach the gospel on the radio. It's a disgrace. No wonder sinners don't know what to do. What do they know what to think. Yes. And they say, "Why, they get results." God will honor His Word, if it was preached by a prostitute. He'd honor His Word, but God help that sinful soul that impersonates and tries to do something like that. Oh, brother. You people, if you've missed the wolf, God bless your soul.

L-64 And if he can't, he will throw it down. And just in a few minutes it's picked down. Your morals will be ruined, sis and brother; you'll never live it down as long as you live on this earth. No matter how much you forgive...
Here not long ago, a beautiful young woman at the altar, she was weeping and weeping. And we couldn't get her to accept Christ. And I went back in a little--in a--in a room and ask her, I said, "What's the matter, sis?"
I seen she was to be mother. And she told me; she said, "Brother Branham, I was raised in a Christian home. I--I--I--my father and mother are Nazarenes. And we've been raised a strict life, holiness." And she said, "I went out with a little boy, at one time, and had a flask in his pocket. He was very popular. He could dance and... I didn't want to do such as that. I was raised different." And she said, "Now, Brother Branham," said, "then the first thing you know, he... I got a drink of Coke one night, and it was spiked with some kind of a--a knock-out pill," and said, "I woke up in a motel room, the next morning. My morals was ruined. And here I am to be a mother."
I said, "God will forgive you, girl."
She said, "Yes, Brother Branham; that's right. He will forgive me, but this mark I'll carry till the longest day I live." That's right. It'll haunt you. You'll never look your husband in the face and be right again. And you'll never look your wife in the face and be right again. God will forgive you, but that scar is there.
