<TITLE>16. Par -</TITLE>L-22-3 Eve started this evil thing when she interbred there with this other thing that was near a man, that would mix the seed; 'cause the serpent had a seed that was continuely to bruise. I'm taking on the faith side for the weak Christians that don't understand.
Let's take the faith there. Say, "then by faith, by the breeding then of faith, as you say, Brother Branham..." Then Eve brought in her theology her and Adam, and tried to plead one to the other and throwed it back... "Passing the buck," as they call it in the army...
"The woman thou gives me..."
"The serpent beguiled me."
"The serpent beguiled me." He never give her a apple to beguile. See? Anyone ought to have common reasonings to know that.

L-22-5 "But the serpent beguiled me," done something dishonorable. God cursed that thing till they can't find a bone in a snake looks like a man. They'll never find it. They're just foolish digging around. That's all. God's secret is with Him. That's right.
And the land was full of giants and Josephus said that... The great historian, could you imagine a historian like Josephus saying that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, and they pressed themselves from angels into human flesh. A historian...
If that's so, then Satan's a creator. Then where are we? See? There's one Creator. That's God. Satan only perverts what God has created. And unrighteousness is only righteousness perverted.
It's legal for a husband and wife to be married, but not run with another. See, it's perverting.
Death is perverted life; and a perverted church is taken off of original.

L-23-2 So we're all condemned by human beings under representation. Adam represented us before God as sinners, unbelievers in His Word. We're carried on that base, unbelievers of His Word.
"Oh, God said so, but I--I know God's a good God. He won't do that."
I hear so much of that. God is a good God, but God is a God of judgment. God is a God of holiness. God is a God of--of righteousness. God is a God of anger. We'll stand before Him when He's angry. The Bible said so. And His very Presence will be a consuming fire. That's right. Don't try to judge God by our own feeling. We got to judge God by His Word, what He said. Don't go off on what some tantrum, "This is a great church. It's weathered a lot of storms, and this is that." Come back to what God said.

L-23-4 When I stand before Him I want to be found innocent of ever trying to add one thing to that Word or take one away one away... Believe It just exactly the way It is, teach the people, and toe right up to it.
And the Bible says this; I can't help what anyone else says; I got to stay right with that.
For washing feet, they say, "Oh (Pentecostal brethren) Brother, oh, Brother Branham, that's... Oh, we used to do that." Let's do it yet if we did it once. Jesus did it, washing feet.
"Oh," they say, "It's unhealthy. People has athletic feet." I don't care what they got. They might've had it in them days. [Brother Gene says, "Can get healed--Ed.] Yeah, yeah, that's right, Gene. God's a Healer. See, they try to find a way of escape.

L-23-6 Like say, "Oh, I wouldn't drink out of the same glass as somebody else drank out of 'less it was scalded."
Oh, my, my brother and sister's my brother and sister. Amen. God is my Protection if something's wrong. I trust Him. Let's go back to the Word. I don't care, he's color, whatever he is, or what church he belongs to, if he's my brother, he's my brother. I'll carry out the commandments of God.
That's the reason, friends, when it comes to water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, I must remain there. Oh, that keeps me from many great--saving souls out there. It sure does, on that one issue, because of the extreme trinitarian belief.
