<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 So God, when He is called on the scene to make a decision for a certain thing (Don't miss this.), and the way God acted when He was called to a certain crisis, He must forever act the same way when the same crisis arises.
If a man was a sinner and called on God to save Him, and God saved him, He's duty bound to keep His Word to every sinner that calls on Him. Or if He didn't, He did wrong when He saved the first one.
See, I can make a mistake. You can make a mistake. But God cannot make a mistake. If He does, then He's not God; He's--He's finite like I am, like you are. But He--His first decision... See, we get smarter. We're supposed to. Each generation, your grandfather had a ox cart. Your daddy had a T-Model. And today they got a jet plane. But you see, each generation gets weaker and wiser. But God was infinite to begin with. He was infinite; He cannot change. So when God makes a decision on any certain thing, if that same crisis arise, He's got to do the same thing, or He acted wrong when He acted the first time. Now, hold that in mind.

L-18 And now, if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and the way He revealed Himself when He was here on earth... And He is the same; He's got to act the same way, or He acted wrong with the Jew.
Now remember, Jesus was not sent to the Gentiles or none of His church was sent to the Gentiles. He was sent to the Jews. He came to His own, and His own received Him not. When He sent His disciples, said, "Don't go to the Gentiles, but go rather, to the lost sheep of Israel." Is that right? He was sent to the Jew.
So the way that He declared Himself to the Jews to be the Messiah in their day, He's got to do the same to the Gentiles, or He acted wrong when He declared Himself to the Jews in that day.
There's only three nationalities of people; that's Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan, which are Ham, Shem's, and Ja--Japheth's people. They have to come from them three, 'cause all was destroyed in the antediluvian destruction.

L-19 So if you notice Peter, with the key... Pentecost, Samaritans, Acts 10:49 to the Gentiles, then the Holy Ghost was open to all the races of people.
And notice, He never was called no more with the key to the Kingdom. Now--then--when... If there's... I'd say to you Methodists, "Do you believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever?" You say sure. To you Baptists? "Sure." You Pentecostal? "Sure." But now, the way we try to make Him the same--way the Methodists tries to make Him the same, the Baptists, the same; the Pentecostals, the same making it...
Let's go back and, to be just in it, let's go back and see according to the Bible, the way He was. And then if He isn't the same as He was in the Bible, then He isn't the same. Now, if He isn't the same in principle, the same in power, the same in manifestation, every way that He was then, He isn't the same.

L-20 Now, if we try to say He's the same because He gathers people together, well, the Mohammedans has got us beat a--three to one. And you say, "Well, we are happy and have joy by knowing it." The Mohammedans can produce just as much psychology as any Pentecostal ever lived.
You ought heard what Morse Reedhead said about that when that Mohammedan had his education and going back. Said, "Why don't you take a resurrected Jesus with you and instead of a dead prophet, Mohammed." And I've been to Mohammed's grave. They have a white horse change every four hours. And they've been there for two thousand years, expecting Mohammed to raise from the dead.
Buddha died twenty-three hundred years ago in Japan. And he was... And that's second the biggest. Christianity, Catholic, and Protestant, all together, is about third or fourth down the line.
