<TITLE>11. Par 67-76</TITLE>L-67 Do you want It? Wouldn't you love to have It? Let's see if It was promised. Now, let's go back to Isaiah, the Book of Isaiah. Let's get the 28th chapter of Isaiah. Now, we're going to Isaiah 28, and we're going to begin about the--let's take the 8th verse: see what Isaiah said 712 years before It come. We could say a lot about this, go back, all the way back; but we'll just start right here and see if It was promised to the church.
What day was It supposed to come? Upon the last days when there'd be a--a corruption. Now, remember, the word's in plural, days, the last two days, the last two thousand years. Now, now, the 8th verse:
All--for all tables are full of... filthiness, so that there is no clean place.
Search around today to find it. Look around and see if we're in that day. All tables... Why they go to the Lord's Supper, and the first thing in the material line, take an old piece of light bread, or a soda cracker, and break it up and make the communion, when that's supposed to be made with Holy Ghost hands and unleavened bread. Christ is not dirty and filthy, and that represents Him.
Another thing, they give it to people that drink, lie, steal, smoke, chew, just anything, as long as they belong to the church. Far be it. If a man ever takes it when we're eating this here, he's breathing and drinking damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's Body. If he don't live the life, keep away from it. And if you don't take it, it shows that your own conscience is guilty. "He that eateth not, has no part with Me," Jesus said.

L-71 But all tables of the Lord has become full of filth. There's no one clean place. Listen, if that don't picture today.
Whom shall he--who shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make... understand doctrine?...
Who will understand knowledge? Who can he make to understand doctrine?
"Well, bless God, I'm Presbyterian."
"I'm Methodist."
"I'm Pentecostal."
"I'm Nazarene."
"I'm Pilgrim Holiness." That don't mean one thing to God: just another table.

L-72 "Who will I make known doctrine?" What kind of doctrine? Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal? The doctrine of the Bible. "Who will I make known doctrine?"
How do you know when you've got It? We'll get into that Friday night. See?
"Who will I make known doctrine?" Now, watch.
... them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breast.
Little babies say, "Well, I go to church. My mama belonged to this church." I have nothing against that, dear brother. (And I realize this is being taped.) That's all right; belong to mama's church. But listen. Mama walked in one light; you're walking in another.
Luther walked in one light; Wesley walked in another. Wesley walked in one light; Pentecost walked in another. But we're walking on higher than that today. And if there's another generation, it'll go beyond us.

L-76 Back in the early days when the thing was wide, way wide, Luther taught justification by faith. That was just to bring the people from Catholicism into Protestantism, into the fellowship around the Word. Justification by faith, that was a big wide sphere; they never moved from that.
Along came another revival called John Wesley. It shook them down from that, and brought her down to sanctification--live a good, clean, holy life, sanctified by the Word of God, give joy in your heart. That shook off a lot of Lutheran doctrine.
