<TITLE>06. Par 23-27</TITLE>L-23 Brother Bosworth, I'll never forget the... He's in glory today; eighty years old. And Dr. Best, of the Baptist tabernacle there, was just a--out of school, and about thirty years old, with all of his degrees, and so forth. And Brother Bosworth said, "Well, Brother Branham, if you don't want to do it, let me do it." I thought of old Caleb, "Let me take this mountain."
I said, "If you promise you won't argue."
He said, "I promise." And away he went.
And here, the next day, 'course you know how that papers can play it up: "Ecclesiastical fur's going to fly." So then that drawed out a great group.

L-24 And that's one time, brethren, where I found out that all the Pentecostals will be one accord someday. I don't care how many humpback camels they were riding, one, two, three, four, they were all there, because the one thing in common. Divine healing was at stake, and they all believed that. Yes, sir.
And here they all were. And that night when Dr. Best got up, he wanted Brother Bosworth to come first. And Brother Bosworth said, "I have six hundred questions wrote out here on paper. Doctor Best, if these questions prove that Christ's attitude today towards the sick, is just like it was when He was here on earth. If you can take one of these questions and disprove it by the Bible, then I'll go over and set down, and--and we'll call the debate yours." That's a pretty broad statement, but he... That boy knowed not to fool with that fellow.

L-25 Oh, he said--he said, "I'll take care of that when I get up there. I'll take care of that when I get there."
He said, "Then, Mr. Best," asked the moderator, said, "I'll ask you one question. You answer it, 'yes,' or, 'no,' and I'll set down if you'll just say, 'yes,' or 'no.'"
And moderator, he said he would.
He said, "Was the seven compound redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus, yes, or no?" Oh, my.
Now, I was not supposed to be there, but I was setting up in about the tenth balcony up there somewhere, with my coat up; two policemen standing up above me like that, my brother, and wife, and my little daughter, setting there. I tell you. I felt shivers run over. I never thought of that 'fore in my life. He couldn't answer that one. See?

L-26 If the compound redemptive Name of Jehovah wasn't applied to Jesus, He wasn't Jehovah-jireh, the Lord's provided Sacrifice; He wasn't the Saviour. No, sir. And if it was applied to Him, then He's Jehovah-rapha just the same as He's Jehovah-jireh, because the Names is inseparable. Jehovah, the Healer, the same as it is the saviour, that settled it. Oh.
Then he got up, and he said, "I'll take care..." He wouldn't answer him "yes," or "no." So... He couldn't answer him.
So I thought, "The gallant, that old man standing there." So then he got up there, and then he preached a real good Campbellite sermon. Now, I was rocked in a Baptist cradle; I know what they believe. So he never preached the Baptist doctrine; he preached Divine healing in the millennium. How would you need Divine healing in the millennium when they got a glorified body? Oh, what he--what he...?... How people will try to scruple up the Scriptures just because they don't know Them, or won't let the Holy Spirit lead them to it. That's right.

L-27 So then, when he got through, he said to... He had some photographers of the Douglas Studios; he said, "I want you to take six pictures of me." They said, he said, "I'm going to skin that old man, Bosworth, and hang his hide on my study door for a memorial to Divine healing." That attitude showed that there was something lacking down here to a Christian brother. But the Lord is out Defense.
And he took his fist like this, and he said, "Now, take it like this." And they took it. They took six pictures.
Now, when I come to the platform, if you notice, if they ever start to take... They won't let them take pictures on the account of the... The Light that I watch is a light; It's a light too. So--so af...
