<TITLE>12. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 Now, now I want to ask you sisters something as you look at me, you brethren. Who was the Father of Jesus Christ? God was. Is that right? Was God His Father? All right, sir. God is His Father, we all agree upon that. I believe with all my heart that God is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. All right. Now, we're going to see if the Bible says that God's His Father.
Now, Jesus said, "Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost." I'm laying these three record boxes out here. This is the Father, and this is the Son, this is the Holy Ghost. Now, you, you can see all right?

L-40 Now, I'm just going to question you and see if you listened what I said. Who is this over here? [Audience says, "Holy Ghost."--Ed.] Holy Ghost. Who is this over here? Who is this here? [Audience says, "Son."--Ed.] Now, Who is this? All right. I just wanted to see if you really catch it clear now. Now, now, this was the Son of God, is that right" All right. Now, this here is what? That's the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. Is that right? That was His Father. I believe that He is the virgin-born, unadulterated Son of the living God.

L-41 God, our Father, which is the great Spirit that never... He was... never had no form, even. You see, He was, He was God. He was just... He was before a star, molecule, or atom, or anything else. He's God that covers all time, space. He's eternal. I believe that Jesus is the Son of the true and living God. And that's this Person right here, that I got wrote on this box--Father. Is that right? And this is the Holy Ghost, and this is the Son.
Now, let us read Matthew 1. Now, we start off: "The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begot Isaac; Isaac begot Jacob;... Jacob... Judah and his brethren;..."
Goes on down giving the genealogy. Now, to save our time, well come down to the genealogy ends after... and... "So all (from the 17th verse) "So all the generations from... all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations... from David until the carrying away of Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away of Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations."

L-42 Now, "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise" when... His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together (Are you reading with me, Sister Sewell?)... before they came together, she was found with a Child of God the Father." Am I reading right? Oh, I made a mistake? Found with Child of who? [Someone says, "The Holy Ghost"--Ed.] Well, I'll say. Now, Who is His Father? You said this was His Father, and the Bible said this was His Father. She was found with a Child, not of God the Father. God the Father had nothing to do with it. It was a Child of the Holy Ghost. Is that right?
Let's see if that still reads on right. Maybe we made a mistake: 19th verse. "Then Joseph her husband, being a just man... not willingly to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of God our Father.'" [Someone says, "No,... is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."--Ed.] Oh!
Now, now, then which one of these is His Father? Now, if the Holy Ghost is His Father, and Jesus said God was His Father, now, is He a bastard child? Could He be? Could both of these Gods make one child? If it is, He was a bastard child. Illegitimate is a better word, but the very word means a bastard child. Well, then if He is a bastard born child, then where are we at in salvation? If God the Father was His Father, and the Bible says the Holy Ghost is the Father, then something's wrong again. Is that right? See? There's something wrong somewhere. Now, what are we going to do?
