<TITLE>11. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 Now, we find that, bringing up this child. She had brought up John right. She said, "John," and he would remember the story. Said, "How that Jehovah, how He taken care of His people, when they were all with one accord, and following the great Pillar of Fire." And said, "John, son, one day when God brought His people out of the bondage, He'd taken them out into the wilderness. And you know, John, every morning they would go out and pick up bread with honey on it: honey wafers."
And how he said, "Mama, has God got a whole big bunch of ovens up there in heaven? And got a--a lot of Angels that bakes this bread every night and would pour it down?"

L-39 "No, honey." She said. "God doesn't have ovens in the skies. You see, God is a Creator. And all He has to do is just speak. And He creates things out of things that there's nothing to create by, or nothing to make it out of. See? He just... He's the Creator."
And then John said, "Brethren, today when I seen Him stand there and take bread and create bread, I knowed He must be some relation to Jehovah. So we know that the Man that we're following, although the churches say that He's an impostor, He's a fortuneteller, a Beelzebub. But I know that He's Jehovah. Because He acts like Jehovah. And He does the things that Jehovah does. So we know that it must be Jehovah."
Now, today some people don't even believe that. Some people want to make Jesus just an ordinary man, a good man.

L-40 Sometime ago, a woman of a certain denomination church, that doesn't believe that He was Divine, she said to me, she said, "Brother Branham, I appreciate your preaching," but said, "you put to much emphasis on Christ being Divine." Said, "He wasn't Divine; he was a man."
I said, "But He was Divine."
She said, "Oh, he was a good man, and He was a prophet."
I said, "He was more than a prophet. He was God. Anything less than that we're lost."
And she said, "Oh, no, he--he couldn't be that."
I said, "He was that."
And she said, "You said you was a fundamentalist. And you just spoke where the Bible speaks and so forth."
I said, "That's true."
She said, "If I'll prove to you by your Bible, that He wasn't nothing but a man, will you believe it?"
I said, "If the Bible said so, but you can't prove it." See? "But the Bible doesn't say it."
She said, "All right, I'll prove it to you." Said, "In Saint John the 11th chapter at the death of Lazarus, the Bible said that Jesus going to His grave wept." And said, "You see? That made Him just a man.
"Well," I said, "sure He wept." I said, "But He was more than a man." I said, "That was the Man that was weeping, but God was in Him."
And she said, "Oh, no, He couldn't weep and be Divine like you say He is."
