<TITLE>09. Par 27-31</TITLE>L-27 It's just like the Catholic says, "eternal Sonship," the eternal Sonship of Christ. How can the word make sense? How can He be eternal and be a son? Son, that was born off of. Eternal had no beginning nor end.
If... they say there's a eternal hell, the Bible said hell was created. Then how can it be eternal? There's no eternal hell: hell was created for the devil and his angels; not an eternal hell. Everything begin, ends. Hell may burn for a hundred billion years, but it has to have an end, because everything begins, ends.
That's the reason we can't die, because we are part of God; off-springs of his, sons and daughters. We got eternal life; God's life. It never did begin, never will end. See?

L-28 Now, this is pretty strong. If you don't understand it I'm afraid I'll get you out on a limb here somewhere. I was talking to clergymen... Now, if you don't understand, you tell me, 'cause usually you talk to clergymen like this. You see? But you women, you just asked me, and you're my friends. [The sisters answer back--Ed.]
All right now, I'm trying... You're, you're all educated, and you're all smart. And I don't want you to take this because Brother Branham said so. Now, I'm a human being. Don't... You take the Word. And if you can find anybody that'll down that Word, you bring them to me. If you can find anybody who says there's a contradiction in the Word of God, bring him to me. It just won't be. It won't... there's no need of trying, cause it ain't there, see.

L-29 Now, how could anybody be baptized...? I want to ask you ladies something right now, and you men. How could anybody be baptized in the name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost? How could you be baptized in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Don't you see the bottom of it? There's no such a thing as the name of Father, Son, Holy Ghost. That's titles... "Lily"... Why don't you just say "Lily of the valley, rose of Sharon, morning star, Alpha, Omega? Be the same... You could be baptized just as well saying, "I baptize you in the name of Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end." Be just as well--it's a title. "I baptize you in the name of the lily of the valley, the morning star, and the rose of Sharon." Be just the same, it's titles. But we know who it belongs to, but there's, there could be a lot of morning stars, and lily of the valleys and rose of Sharons. See? So... Father, Son, Holy Ghost, there's, there's... or human soul, body, and spirit, or whatevermore you want to make it.
Now... now there's something wrong here somewhere, isn't it? Now you see that something's wrong here. We can't understand it, then, let's say. Now, "Go ye therefore... teach all nations." Now, you're a nice little audience, and I want to drill this so that you'll have a good understanding. See? 'Cause I don't know, many of my brethren might hear this tape.

L-30 I never unchristianize no man or person for their ideas of Scripture. I base it upon if they're saved they're trusting Jesus Christ, whether they are Catholic, Protestant, Jew, or whatever they are. You're saved because you're born of Christ.
But you've asked me a question, "Why, Brother Branham would you baptize in the name of Jesus Christ?" All right. "And why would you disregard Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?" That's your question. And as your brother, and as a servant of Christ, I'm duty bound to answer you. All right.

L-31 Now, therefore when you find out here, to make this contradiction... Now, just ten days after this, after Jesus said this, Peter had the keys to the kingdom, Matthew 16, find out "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock... build My church," so forth. "And I give... I say thou art Peter, and I give unto thee the keys of the kingdom. Whatever you bind on earth, I'll bind it in heaven. What you loose on earth, I'll loose in heaven."
