<TITLE>14. Par 119-131</TITLE>L-119 That's what it did there, back there in the days of Jesus. He said, "If I would not have come, you would not have knowed sin. But now that I'm here... (Amen.) Now, that I'm here, you have no excuse."
And today, if God made His promise that He'd send the Holy Ghost in the last days and these things would take place, you could've doubted it; but now that He's come and doing it, the world's without an excuse. It's thundered across nation after nation, after place after place, till it's covered the earth. That's right. They're without excuse. They wouldn't have knowed it if God hadn't have come and brought it. But He's brought it to us now, and so then it's a realities, the realities of following the Word, following the truth. Stay with it.

L-121 "Oh, I go over here to the Baptist church," they say, "we got the truth." The Methodists say, "We got the truth." Now, which one? You're both different; which one's got the truth. Go down at the Seventh-day Adventists, "We got the truth." Go over at the Church of Christ, "We got the truth."
Well, there's only one way to make Truth; that's stay with the Word. Somebody got off the Word somewhere. They have a portion of truth, then they go and put a detour in it. They hit the highway, and detour. Stay with the Word.
Speak to them about the baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ. "Oh, it doesn't make any difference."
It does make a difference. Paul said, he commanded the people to be rebaptized again in the Name of Jesus Christ; He said, "If an Angel said anything else, let him be accursed." It does make a difference.
What if Moses said, "I'll just take off my... I'll just take off my hat instead of my shoes. Hard to unbuckle my shoes, I'll just take off my hat and show respect"? God said, "Shoes." And God required shoes, not hat: shoes, what He said.
God de--commands every Word of His to be fulfilled to the letter. It must be. You must do what He says do, for not one tot or one jittle will ever pass from it. "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall not fail." It's got to stay. One--one jot or tittle shall not pass from It; It's all got to be fulfilled.

L-128 And now, man was God's subject. Man is what God works through. And then when man receives the truth, hits the right highway, and starts moving on, and find these realities moving on, what does it do? The unbelieving brother, he'll look at him; it's like he's... He--he can't accept it. If he does, he has to leave his church. If he leaves his church, he stands alone.
A minister said to me, right after that interview up there, a minister said, "Looky here."
I said to them on the platform; I said, "If I am so wrong, there is hundreds of ministers here, somebody come and teach me what's right." You didn't see anybody coming, did you? And you won't, because it's not there. [Brother Branham knocks on pulpit--Ed.]

L-131 One minister, outstanding minister, I wouldn't call his name. He's a precious brother. He come, said, "Brother Branham, your ministry, sure, you can go ahead and do that. But if we accept that, if we accept that, our church turns us down, then where can we go?"
I said, "To the all-sufficient hiding Place, Christ Jesus. That's where you go. Go to Christ."
"Well," he said, "but our ministry..."
I said, "Your ministry is just as much as anybody's ministry, if it's of Christ, no matter where you have to go to."
Said, "Well, if I'd baptize like that, they'd kick me out of my church."
I said, "They did me. So then what difference does it make?" Just keep following the highway. Just follow the blueprint. Certainly, just keep going with it, no matter what they got.
