<TITLE>08. Par 35-38</TITLE>L-35 I asked this--a doctor here some time ago. I said, "Doctor, how... If I was made out of the dust of the earth... scientists said I was made out of sixteen different elements of the earth. Then if I was, then why is it... How did I ever become into the form that I am?"
He said, "By eating food. Food turns into blood; blood cells builds you."
I said, "Then, Doctor, why is it that I'm eating the same kind of food I eat when I was fifteen years old. Every time I eat meat, potatoes, bread, every time I eat, I got bigger, stronger. And I'm eating the same food now, getting older, weaker. If I'm renewing my life every time I eat, why is it I'm getting old and wrinkled up, and eating better food than I did then? And yet, every time I eat, I'm dying. When I eat then, I was living."

L-36 If you pour a glass of water--or take a glass and a jug of water, and begin to pour water out of a jug into this glass, and it fills halfway full. And then keep pouring, and more you pour, farther down it goes. Scientifically prove that to me. It can't be. There's no answer for it. But the Bible has the answer. It was appointed unto man.
Now, here's what's happened. In the resurrection, when you come forth, you won't come forth a little baby; you'll come forth in your--the splendor of young man and young woman.
Now, I want you to get this sincerely. It isn't too long ago, maybe, to some of you older people, that you begin to notice that pretty girl that you married turning gray and wrinkling. That young man that you married is turning gray and stooping his shoulders. What's happened? Death set in on you. And it's going to pin you here. Maybe God let you out. Finally, it's going to take you. But it can't do no harm to you.

L-37 And when you come forth in the resurrection, you're not going to be one thing that'll symbolize sin. You growed. You become at your best between... I think science claims, between twenty and twenty three you are at your peak. After that you start dying. You're living, building till that time. After that, you start going back.
God gets the picture up, marries you, puts you together like the first Adam and Eve, and give you a choice. If you could choose Him, you have Eternal Life; if you do not choose Him, you do not have Eternal Life. But all that's got Eternal Life, God will bring with Him at the coming of Christ. And you'll resurrect, not an old man and woman, not a little bitty baby, but you'll resurrect to the perfect young man and young woman of about twenty-two or twenty three years old. You'll be like that forever in the Presence of God. That's exactly the truth.

L-38 That's what He done to Sarah and Abraham. And when Abimelech saw that she was beautiful, why, he fell for her. And she--he took her to be his wife.
Now, I want to kinda pinch just a little bit here, not to hurt bad. But I want you to notice that Abimelech... I could imagine when he took this beautiful Hebrew girl and--and put all the jewelry on her, and fixed her clothes. Why, tomorrow he's going to marry her. Went and took his bath, and said his prayers, and got in bed and stretched out, and thought, "Oh, my. Tomorrow I will marry that beautiful Hebrew girl." Only ninety years old (See?) and he's going to marry her. She probably looked to be about twenty-three.
And then when he was laying there thinking that, God came to him and said, "You're just as good as a dead man."
He said, "Lord, why is this?"
He said, "You've got another man's wife."
And he said, "Why, with the integrity of my heart I did this, Lord. You know she told me that was her brother, and he told me that's the sister."
And God said, "That's the reason I kept you from sinning against Me. I know the integrity of your heart." But listen to this, now. "I know your integrity, but she is a wife of a prophet. Her husband is My prophet."
