<TITLE>15. Par 121-127</TITLE>L-121 Great men, great religious leaders has told me, "You'll ruin your ministry. Brother Branham, you're doing things" said, "that--that's not your business. God called you to pray for the sick."
God called me to do more than pray for the sick. The sick's just one thing that I can catch the attention of the people; that's all. Sick, praying for the sick is a minor thing. See? The message is what we're talking about. Those things are going back; sick, a man sick, a man can get healed and die again. But a man that's born of the Spirit of God has Eternal Life. So God just don't go around healing the sick like that. That gift's right in the church for the local body; one, and then the other one, and then the other one, then the other one. See? That, gifts just goes through the church. But it's more than that, and I hope you catch it. All right.

L-123 The birth of Catholicism... In order to do this, to catch the--the eyes of the Christians and also the eyes of the pagans, to weld them together and make one church...
Oh, I wish I had that just now, a piece of paper somebody laid up here the other night. I was going to bring it, and I forgot it; so many things laying around in the room there. They're doing the very same thing right now, and you started it when you elected the last man you elected. They are working now to find even a Bible that won't hurt the Catholic, nor the Jew, nor the Protestant. They're going to make them a Bible that'll fit the whole thing. Can't you see the cunningness of another Constantine? History's just repeating itself back. Now, you see, I got the... You heard me read it the other night, didn't you? And I--I got it laying at home, and they've been working on it for a long time.

L-125 Now, they say in '62 they'll... And notice that Pope John XXII has commit--asked all the little daughter churches to come back home to the mother church. Don't worry, she will. They will. She's going to. They're already back. They don't have to go back; they're already there now.
Like I was saying, "This country said, 'Well, if Mr. Kennedy gets elected, the Catholics will take over.'" Take over? They already did it a long time ago and you didn't know nothing about it. Who pays their teachers? How do they get these things to go to their schools, and teaching Catholicism right in the school? And you taxpayers pay for it. Oh, right under your nose (See?), like that. Oh, my, how he worked in. The Bible said he'd take it by flatteries, and he did. See? That's right. See, pay taxes on nothing. So, oh, there's so much could be said here. I'll just have to cut off from them spots, and go back again to pick up.

L-127 In order to get this thing to working, Constantine set up a lot of worldly entertainments to attract the attention of both pagan and Christians into the church. Are you spiritually minded? Are you thinking? Isn't that the message of the hour? The church has bunco games, parties, give away cars, and just to get them mixed together, welding that power back together till they can get a striking place. Just right here...
Now, that's history, someone has no--no axe to grind; they're just quoting what happened. But he did it: welded the church together by having worldly entertainments to bring together the Nicolaitane church. Now, remember, he could not touch that borned again church, no, sir, not any of them. But the formal Nicolaitane church fell for it.
