<TITLE>33. Par 215-220</TITLE>L-215 Now, see, the way we do, we have a board meeting, and we say, "Well, now, should we keep..." I don't say the Tabernacle, but I mean us Protestant people: we have a board meeting, "And what do you think about Jones? What do you think we ought to do with him? I think he--he'd make the Methodist a better member than he does us." There you are. That--that's wrong. That's the reason we don't have to follow their traditions and some bishop we have to call him, ever some, what is it you call them, district man in this Pentecostal Church, District Presbyter, call him in to see the conduct of this man.
The Bible tells us what to do. That's the reason we don't fool with their denominations. We stay free from that thing. Amen. Not mad at me, are you? Don't you do it. I'll probably get some awful good questions tomorrow night, but we are... That's right. See?

L-217 Remember, no, I say this now. You people that's here from different denominational churches, your denomination... And, brother, I'm not saying that you're not a Christian. I'm not saying your denomination isn't thousands of lovely Christians in there. I'm trying to say the reason that we are not a denomination. 'Cause I just wouldn't stand for that. No, sir, I sure wouldn't. They try to tell you what to do. If God called me to preach the Gospel, then I preach it the way God tells me to do it. That's just the--the way it's wrote here in the Bible. If it don't line up with This, then it's--that's... God will judge me for it. But if I--if I--if I see the wolf coming, or the enemy coming, and I fail to warn them, then God requires me. But if I warn you, then it's up to you then. See?

L-218 Remember, there in the last days, that perilous times shall come, men shall be lovers of themselves, boasters, proud, blasphemers (See?), blasphemers, "Oh, they're a bunch of idiots. The days of miracles are passed. There's no such a thing." He's an old false prophet. "Now, we know that our women has just as much sense as our men." I'm not disputing that a bit, but God's Bible said keep her out of the pulpit. That's--that's good enough for me. See? That's right. All right. See? And said, "Well, now, our denominations, we got just as many nice people as you got over there at the Tabernacle." I don't say that a bit, but the Bible condemns denominations. That's right. And so, I ain't saying you ain't got fine members in your church. That's wonderful. They are fine people. Some of the finest people, I meet them in all of them, Catholics and all through, all of them; I meet fine members.

L-219 Now, the way we're going to bring this now, friend, if the Lord willing, in these next couple studies, maybe I'll let you know tomorrow morning whether we have to run tomorrow afternoon or not (See?), to get it out. The reason we're trying to do this, I want to bring it down to a spot now. Now, if you want to bring someone with you, you're perfectly welcome to do it. But remember now, don't--don't go away just trying to find faults, or come here. I'm just talking to my--my congregation. You see? I don't teach this outside my congregation here, 'cause that's the other man's business, that he's the shepherd of that flock. And I'm just the... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-220 Right back to Genesis, he'll pull it right through and see where it's at. Now, we're going back to Genesis to find out why that a illegitimate child would not enter the congregation of the Lord for fourteen generations. How it take... That'd be four hundred years for that sin to run out. How we're going to find out how that the--the righteousness of the parents is visited to the children and children, how that started in Genesis, and so forth.
