<TITLE>05. Par 17-21</TITLE>L-17 And the Geneva Conference was held in a beautiful place, the Paris Conference, and so forth. And seeing these conferences of the nations are so appropriate, and we're having so many, and we all know about them. We read about them in the newspaper, and hear of them on the radio, and the televisions, and whatmore outlets we have.
And we know about them, but let's think about some conferences God had. God has conferences also. He said here, "Come, let us reason together," saith the Lord. "Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be white like wool, red like crimson, white like snow. Come, let us reason together." God wants a conference. God has conferences.

L-18 In the world conferences men meet together and they eat, drink, lie to one another. It's a lot difference when God has a conference. Men meet together and fast and pray, get orders from heaven and go forward. Let's speak of one of God's conferences, or a few of them.
One of the first conference I could think of God having was the Eden conference. God had a conference in Eden. When the news came into glory that His son had been lost, that he had sinned and turned his back upon his God, the news struck heaven. No doubt but what, many of the Angels wanted to go down and see if they could do something about it, but God wanted to hold that conference Himself. It was His child that was in trouble. He couldn't trust it to an Angel.

L-19 It was an important conference, and in this day when theologians are preaching, and people are saying that Jesus was just a man, that Jesus was just a--an ordinary prophet, that He wasn't Divine... Why it would break the whole picture. He was more than a prophet. He was God came down in flesh to give conference and reconciliation. It wasn't just an ordinary man or a prophet. He was a God of the prophets.
And He came down in flesh and when... It sure, certainly shows that in the beginning the first conference that God had with man He came Himself. He didn't trust it to someone else. When God came down to redeem man, He never trusted to a prophet. He came Himself, for He was the only One that could do it.

L-20 And when this great conference in Eden, God came down and... Look at the nature of man. It shows it today in man. Instead of man trying to come out and saying, "Lord, I have sinned." He hides himself somewhere, and many times like Adam did, makes hisself a fig leaf religion, something he made up himself, some kind of a creed that he would say and hide himself.
But just like it was with Adam so will it be with every man who's trusted in creeds. There'll be a time when you stand by that, that your creed and fig leaf religion won't hide your sins. God's made a way, a prepared way.
Before He could talk to Adam, He could not talk to him naked, and He killed something. Something has to die, and something did die to make a covering that we could hold this conference with God. God must've selected a certain tree in the garden of Eden, and He called Adam and Eve, and throwed those old bloody sheepskins in there, and said, "Wear these out here." What a conference.

L-21 And when conference is made, there's decisions made. Then we that receive our decision and have to act accordingly. God had the conference with Adam and Eve and made a decision, that it was God, that was God's remedy, and it never can change. There's no church, no creed, no man, no angel, no devil. Nothing else can change that. God made His provided way for a sinner to stand in His Presence, that was through the shed Blood of the innocent One. And we're all borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies.
We could no more save ourselves by our creeds and so forth, than we could hold our bootstraps and jump over the moon. We are lost, and there's none of us can save one another, no man, no prophet, no priest. Takes Jesus Christ Who was God in flesh to save us. And He has made the Sacrifice.
