<TITLE>08. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 Let me tell you something, sister. You may be as pure as a lily to your husband or your boyfriend, but at the day of judgment, you're going to be counted an adulterous. When you dress yourself like that, these old sexy-looking clothes that they wear and get out here on the street, do you know when a sinner looks at you, and though you be as pure as you can be, that sinner lusting after you commits adultery with you, said Jesus, in his heart. And when that sinner has to answer for adultery, who presented theirself to him? You are guilty. Right.
If he committed adultery, who did he commit it with? What caused him to do it? Because you dressed yourself like that. "Get out of my private life." That's what you say to the Lord. This is His Word. You say, "They don't sell any other kind of clothes, Brother Branham." They sell sewing machines. So there's no excuse. That's right. You know that's right.

L-35 You say, "Quit picking on us women." All right, men, here you are. Any man that'll let his wife smoke cigarettes and act like that, it shows what you're made out of. There's not much man in you. That's exactly right. Man is not measured by how much muscle he's got, how big he is. I've seen men that weighed two hundred pound, didn't have an ounce of man in him. Man is measured by character. Right. A man that ain't got enough man about him in character to take care of his own home, how could he do in the house of God? Right.
We need a cleaning up all the way from the pulpit plumb to the janitor. That's right. No wonder this Laodicean Church, lukewarm... "Lo, I stand at the door and knock." Laodicean, we can still shout; we can make a little noise, but what good's the noise if the life don't compare with it? There's something wrong, or we'd have a revival sweeping the world right now. Something went wrong. If Satan can't come in one way, he will another.
"I stand at the door and knock." See? There's... "Don't fool with my private life." And some of you women card-playing, out here in these... And some of the men even taken a little social drink, why, it's a disgrace.

L-36 All right, there's another little door after this, private life. Let's leave that door for a minute. I hope the Holy Spirit tells you what all's in there. But there's another little door right next to it, and that's called pride. Oh, my. Pride, oh, that's an awful door.
So many people are so stuck-up. And what you got to be stuck-up about? You think you're somebody.

L-37 I was standing in a great coliseum sometime ago, and I was looking at a--in a--a museum, rather. And I was looking at the analysis of a man's body that weighed a hundred and fifty pound; that was a male; the female isn't worth that. But the... A hundred and fifty pound man, you know how much he's worth in chemicals? Eighty-four cents if he's a good, healthy man.
And isn't it strange that you'll put a twenty dollar hat on eighty-four cents, a hundred dollar suit...? And some of you women put a hundred and fifty, two hundred dollar mink coat on, and paint them lips, and turn it up like if it'd rained, it'd drown you, and think you're somebody; and you're not even eighty-four cents. That's right. That's exactly right.
But my old southern mammy... We was raised in a little old cabin, no floor, and just windows, not like your windows here. It was just a door you pushed out, down the mountains of Kentucky here.
