<TITLE>06. Par 38-45</TITLE>L-38 Now, bringing these things out... See? Listen, people, you are facing this. And you... It--it--this determines your eternal destination, so don't take it something lightly. Look at it in the--the Urim Thummim, how it's afflicting--how it is affecting the words.
Now, when we're speaking of these things, see if they cooperate with the Bible, see if they tally up with what the Scripture says.

L-40 Now, every church... If you say, "I'm a Christian," "What denomination do you belong to?" What difference does that make what denomination you belong to? We realize that denomination has nothing to do with God's Bible. And all Protestant denominations are harlots. The Bible said so. When you say you're a Methodist, you're a Methodist harlot. You say you're a Baptist, you're a Baptist harlot. When you say you're a Pentecost, you're a Pentecostal harlot. That's what the Bible said. So she is a mother of harlots.
Now, if that's all you got... Now, if you're fellowshipping in this denomination and yet a Christian, you are a Christian; and you're not a Methodist; you're not a Baptist; you're not a Pentecostal; you're a Christian, not... Why, even the...

L-42 I heard a discussion this morning on the radio while I was getting ready to come to church on the Christian round-table discussion in Louisville; and the churches have adopted the program of teaching their children modern drinking. What kind of a bunch of idiots are we going to produce? Why is it? Because their mammy and pappy at home knows no more about God than a Hottentot would know about a Egyptian knight. Abstain from the whole thing. You don't have to modern--make yourself modern; you make alcoholics when you do that. "Oh, we'll let her do this, and let him do this," and so forth like that. What can you expect? We can't go another generation. We can't do it. We're at the end time.

L-43 So I don't want you to class me as some kind of a quack. I may be; if I am, I'm just as--I'm ignorant of it.
I said to my wife setting there; I said, "Meda, have I become a religious fanatic? Have I lost my mind? Or is it the Spirit of God that can't stand those things that's crying out? Is there something in here that makes me even go against my own thinking, my own will?" I said, "There's only three things it can be. It can either be that I have lost my mind." If I am I don't know it. I'm a nervous, upset person. That's just my nature. My gift does that, but (as a minister)--but I--I'm... I've either lost my mind, or I've become a fanatic, or It's the Spirit of God. It's--it's got to be one of those things.

L-45 But I can't stand to see the things, and something inside just screams out. And yet, I know according to the Bible that it's got to happen. Then what good does it do to scream out? How is God going to stand at the judgment and throw this generation up here if He hasn't got a voice screaming against it to bring judgment? What's going to be the Pharisees if there wasn't a John to scream out of the wilderness? What good's it going to do when I tell they shouldn't do this, and shouldn't do this, and shouldn't do this, you should not do this, and you should be filled with the Spirit? They walk by and say, "Off at the head, crazy, something happened to him." Well, what's the use of doing it? Because God's got to have a voice. Got to say it anyhow so He can bring judgment, say, "There it was; you're not ignorant of it." That's right. And if you don't cry out, what's He going to do? There's something cries out in you; you can't help it.
