<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 Now, we're going to look at God in four ways. Now, three is the confirmation, but we're going to throw one extra in, this afternoon, to make it positive. Anyone knows that--that two is a witness; three is a confirmation. I--the Jews said to Jesus, "We know that You're a--a demon, because You speak of Yourself."
It takes two to make a witness. Jesus said, "I'm one, and the Father that dwelleth in Me is the other One. If you can't believe Me, believe the works that He's a doing in Me." See? So that made a confirmation of two. But now, three...
And now, we're going to take four ways of seeing God: first, God in His universe, God in His Word, God in His Son, God in His people.
God in His universe, we'll see if we can find Him in the universe. God in His Word, we'll see if we can find Him the Word. God in His Son, we'll see if He's in His Son. Then God in His people, and see if He's in His people. That's four ways that we can see God.
The infidel said, "Let me see Him."

L-18 Some time ago, I was speaking on a corner; there was a infidel which was speaking on the next corner. And he was--had the Bible laying there, said, "It's the dirtiest, orneriest Book ever written." And, oh, he was just going on. Was--had been a priest or studied to be a priest in a monastery. And very much of a theologian, knowed the Word, and so he was chewing tobacco. And he--I was standing by a little grocery store, and when he come in to get groceries, then here the preacher and infidel met together. So, he said, "Oh, you're that preacher that's doing a lot of hollering down here."
"Yes, sir, I am."
And he said, "You don't believe that stuff you're saying?"
I said, "With all my heart, I believe it."

L-19 And I knowed he was smart to be in a monastery (You see?), so I said, "Yes, sir, I--I believe it with all my heart." So I knowed his wits was too much me to match, but I knowed I had a God that could match anything that the devil could put out. So I just held on to see what God would say.
He said, "If I'll prove to you there's not one thing in what you're talking about, will you accept it?"
I said, "Don't believe you could do it."
He said, "There is no such a thing as God."
I said, "That's your opinion, my opinion's different."
And he said, "Well look, how many senses does a human body have?"
And I said, "Well, they got senses."
"How far did you go to school?"
I said, "Far enough to know there's a God."
And--and he said--he said, "Well, a--name the human senses."
And I said, "See, taste, feel, smell, and hearing."
He said, "Now, if He's a human God, to the human, surely one of those senses would declare Him." He said, "Now, did you ever see Him? Did you ever taste Him, smell Him, feel Him, or hear Him?"
I said, "I felt Him. I feel Him now."
He said, "Let me feel Him." That sense of feeling goes the same way (See?) with your fingers.
And a--and I said, "Well, it's possible that I could feel Him, and you could not feel Him."
He said, "Oh, no, no, you can't pull your psychology on me."
And I took a pin and stuck him. And he said--I thought he was going to slap me first. But I stepped back out of his reach. And I said, "I did that for a purpose, sir. Excuse me. But I just want to make a point." I said, "Did you feel that?"
He said, "I certainly did."
And I said, "But I didn't feel it."
He said, "Let me stick you."
And I said, "Yeah, you believe the same thing I believe, and you'll have the same results." That's right. It's possible you can have a cramp in your stomach, and I know nothing about it, but it's real to you. See? But it wouldn't be to me, unless I had the same cramp in my stomach, or a headache, or whatever it might be.
