<TITLE>19. Par 147-156</TITLE>L-147 Now, notice man after the resurrection. You see that mock trial, turned it over to the church, knowing what the church would do. And what did it happen when these soldiers was scared and run away? The church hired these soldiers, and was given money to go say that His disciples came by night and took Him away.
Then I want to ask you. If the disciples came by night and took Him away, why didn't they take the robe that was on Him? If they were thieves and stealing, why didn't they take the robe too? But the linen was laying right there, with the napkin over His face, the linen laying where it was over His body. He just moved right through it all, and went up to the resurrection. Not a thing was disturbed; just the way He was laid, He was laying the same way, but He had went out from the linen. Amen.

L-149 See, but a mock trial again, a--a--a false accusation... Because why? They were forced; they were forced to make a decision. Man had to make a decision. The Church had to say, "He's raised from the dead," or, "He has not raised from the dead." Amen.
Oh, let's get our hearing on now, put your spiritual hearing aid in. Notice, it's come to that same thing. Men are trying to follow, like our meetings, and saying... I've heard even churches, the Church of Christ, so-called, said, "I'll give a thousand dollars for any man that can show one evidence of a resurrect--or a person that's been healed." I took doctors to them, and they wouldn't even believe it. Why? They're forced to make a decision. They have sealed themselves outside with Cain, with the religious cults. The true little Church of God's in the minority would always moved that way, but she'll... How did She suffer that fifteen hundred years of dark ages?

L-151 They say, "The Roman church..." Sure, the Roman church was first the Pentecostal church, the Catholic church was. It begin at Pentecost, but then it wanted to organize.
And if this Pentecostal church would stand for another two thousand years, they'd be worse than the Catholic is now. They're getting so far away from everything. I was questioned the other day, "Are you going to preach if you come to this place on women wearing makeup, they shouldn't wear shorts, shouldn't wear these things?"
I said, "Don't ask me then. No, sir. Don't ask me to come."
"Are you going to preach it?" They even said, "What business is that of yours?"
I said, "It's the Lord's business, and I'm about His business." That's exactly right. Exactly. So I said just...
"What do you do that for? Ain't there other things today?"
I said, "Yeah, but let them do that, and then we'll talk on other things. You see? See? See, let--let--let's get the foundation laid."

L-156 That's what's the matter. You're trying to jump up on top of the ladder, when you ought to be on the bottom yet. See? Get started down here; clean up and get started right, and then we could build upon that. Otherwise, you cannot build, because any foundation that's not built upon the principles of Christ will fall. And the Bible, It said, "It's an abomination for a woman to wear a garment pertains to a man." It hasn't changed one bit, since God hasn't changed. He's eternal, and His thoughts yesterday is the same as they are today, and will be forever. His Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His works is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His redemption is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. There's no way of getting around it. Now, the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. We know that. Is it right? God said it was.
