<TITLE>15. Par 124-130</TITLE>L-124 Yeah, creeds... Then they formed what they call the--the Pre-Nicene Father. They got together; in this they formed a council. In the council was hatched out the Catholic church, which means "the universal church," tore off all the little churches around where God was dealing, and forced them into one church and one religion.
They'd put an ox on one arm, an ox on the other, and hang a crucifix before a man, tell him kiss it or--and bow down to receive Catholic religion," or they start one ox one way, and one the other, and pull him apart. Took a woman and take her hair and put it in a barrel of pitch, and ask her if she'd kiss this crucifix; she'd either do it, and bow to Catholic religion, or they'd light the hair on her head and burn her up. Put them on the stakes and everything else; put them in what they call the iron woman, and press them pegs, trying to get them to kiss the crucifix, embrace what they call Christian religion, and grind them right into the dust.

L-126 The martyrs stood there without a bat of his eye. He knowed where he was standing. He knowed Who he had believed. He was able, knowing this, that God could raise him up at the last day, 'cause He promised it. Before he'd bow down to any man-made, old dirty rag sap lines, he'd die on the stump. Hallelujah.
Let me die the same place. If my God doesn't come in my generation, I'll die on the stump where the cankerworms eat it to, believing that Jesus Christ and His Church and His Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I might not be able to produce it out in all these branches, because old sap lines out here of denomination and creed cut me off and drop me like a hot potato. That might be true. But I'll stand loyal on the stump, and cry that the hour will come. God will restore His Church till its former condition.

L-128 This may hurt, third thing, I don't want it to. Watch one of the great sap lines they cut off. And during that time of the organization, that's what knocked the sap line to begin with. The first place, if they'd have had brotherly love among one another, they'd never needed an organization. And then when they see'd they couldn't have--they wasn't going to have brotherly love, or they thought they wasn't... "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." Instead of taking God's Word, they had an organization.

L-129 Luther come out of that organization, five hundred and fifty years later, come out. What did he do? Turned right around, done the same thing they did. Right out of that come Calvin. Right out of there come Wesley. Right out of Wesley come the Baptists, Presbyterians, on down to the Pentecostals. And the Pentecostals... After the Nazarene comes the Pentecostal. And after Pentecostal, what will? I hope the coming of Christ. 'Cause the Pentecostal done the very same thing that the rest of them done.

L-130 Revelation 12 says that they would do it. She was a whore, and they were prostitutes. They were harlots. The Catholic church, she, said was a whore in the Bible, w-h-o-r-e. I Corinthians 12 said so. And said, her daughters... Now, if... They cannot be men. He never said her sons, said her daughters. Churches are represented in the Bible as women. And her daughters were prostitutes (See?), the same thing. What kind it was, how prostitute? Committing spiritual fornication against God's Word, holding onto a denominational rag instead of standing earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to the saints, instead--instead of going back and taking the Word of God.
