<TITLE>05. Par 28-35</TITLE>L-28 And if that isn't a beautiful picture of this day, that when men are trying to unite together. And we should be united, but you're uniting under the wrong systems. Did you ever notice how the devil patterns off the things of God? Did you ever see that how he takes the things that God has purposed?
And so deceiving is the wrong thing. Now, a lie, if it's just right out a real lie, then anyone can detect it. But that lie that's got about ninety-nine percent truth in it, that's the one that's deceiving.

L-30 Did you notice how that the devil deceived Eve? Everything he told her was exactly the truth, but one thing. Said, "Your eyes will be opened, and you shall know right and wrong, and--and so forth. And you shall be as gods, because you don't know right from wrong now." And all those things were true.
But when she said, "The Lord God said we would die."
He said, "Surely you won't die." See, just so much truth in it, and then just a little bit of lie.
As Jesus said, on the earth, "A little leaven leavens the whole lump." And it's got to be perfectly right, or it isn't right at all. And the plan of salvation has got to be exact, and God's promises are exact, and they work exact, or there--there's something is wrong somewhere. And if the church of the living God is not achieving what God purposed for them to do, there's something wrong with that system somewhere: just got to be.

L-33 You take a fine piece of machinery like a watch, and let every piece of that machinery work in harmony, and it'll keep perfect time. But when one piece gets one way, and one another, it won't keep time. No matter how good the jewels are, it's all got to be unified together.
That's God's purpose, for us to unify together and be one.

L-34 But we find out there, that, how the devil patterns things. All unrighteousness is only righteousness perverted. A lie is only the truth turned around. Good things that God does; wrong things is good things perverted. So therefore, that unrighteousness is righteousness perverted. Satan cannot create anything himself. He only has to take what God has created to pervert it. Man living with his wife is absolutely right; but take another woman, that's the same act is perverted, and it's death. One brings life; the other one brings death. That's the way that all--all the things that Satan has got in his reach is just taking what God has made and changing it around.

L-35 Did you ever think of the Mohammedan religion? At the grave of Mohammed, has been a white horse saddled, for two thousand years. Every four hours the guard changes and another white horse is brought out. And they do that reverently, and with constant belief that Mohammed will rise someday and ride the world down. They believe it. And did you ever think why the white horse? Did you know the Scripture says that Jesus shall come riding on a white horse, and His vesture dipped in blood, and His Name is called the Word of God? It's the Lord Jesus shall come riding in the heavens with the armies behind Him, riding on a white horse. Can you see that perverted religion, turned around and make it Mohammed on a white horse? But Jesus is coming in the heavens, and Mohammed is earthly. So Satan works with the earth things, while God works with the heavens.
And did you ever think of the tower of Babylon and compare it with Jacob's ladder? How that they were trying to build stair steps around the tower that would reach up into heaven, only trying to pervert Jacob's ladder which reached from the heavens to the earth, and Angels descending and ascending. Perverting it...
