<TITLE>18. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 Then come a world. And after the world come a creation. And after the creation, come a law to creation. After there was a world... What makes this world? How can anybody explain it? Turn a ball any way you want to, throw it in the air, it won't make two turns and make it a billion turns per second, it'll not make two turns in the same place. And yet, we got record of six thousand years, this world has never missed a time, turning twenty-four hours just exactly, standing in nowhere. See?
What is that? This great Person before there was a world--before there was a world, that's that great Person in there, a law of God making it turn. The same law of God, He just spoke it into existence. He's a Creator. He creates. See? And that's why that the world was made without...
By faith, God made the world, because His own faith (See?), made the world. And that's how... Now, He...

L-66 See, He come down making man and all the animals, till He come down to sin. But He could not make sin. Because He cannot be righteous and the Father of righteousness and make sin. So, you know what He done? He made man in His own image, and knowing that he would fall, but put him on a basis of free moral agency. He said, "Now, don't touch this tree."
Now, He couldn't say... Now, He knowed he was going to touch it. But He couldn't...?... him to touch it. Because He said, "Touch this Tree and you live, and touch this tree and you die." See?
And He knew man would fail, but yet He couldn't make him fail. He had to do it on Hisself... So that makes God righteous. You see? Man fell hisself. After He made him so close to Himself, He put him on a basis of free moral agency, and therefore, there's where he fell. By his own free moral agent act he fell.
And today, each one of you children and each of us adults, is placed by them same two trees. We can accept Life or refuse it. See? So, God just spoke it into existence, and the world was framed. This very floor is God's Word. This thing here is God's Word. Our bodies are God's Word. And everything there is, is God's Word. See? Because it all originated from God.
All right, sir. Now--now, if that isn't right, if that don't clear it up, why, you--you can write me a note and bring it to church...?...

L-67 All right, Brother Jimmy. [Brother Jimmy reads the next question: "I Corinthians 16:22 explain... "--Ed.]
Let's see, I Corinthians 16:22. All right, sir. Just a minute. These--these little--these little studies in the Scriptures really could help us. It could--it can strengthen you and make you--make you strong, mighty men.
Sixteen you said, son? [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... let him be..." Oh, my goodness. I can't--don't know whether I can pronounce that name or not. A-n-a-t-h-e-m-a M-a-r-a-m-a-t-h-a. Somebody got another Bible, see what... It's broke down. That's antha... What say? Sounds like that would be... What is it, Fred? Get the--get another... Has somebody got another Bible? See if it's in there.
Anathema. Well, what is an anathema? Now, you got me. You know, Fred? Anybody... Any of you all know what anathema is? Got a dictionary? We can find it just in a minute. Get a dictionary.

L-68 All right, while he is getting that one, maybe I can answer another one. All right, sir. [Brother Jimmy reads the next question: "Explain I beheld and Satan as lighting falling from heaven."--Ed.]
"And I beheld Satan falling from heaven like lightning." Over in Luke is where... Does it give a Scripture there? Just... Well, I suppose that's what it is.
"I beheld Satan falling from heaven like lightning." Now, that would... Now, I'll just kindy outline this, and if it doesn't do it, then you--you just let me know, and I'll go into detail. Do you remember, we'll--we'll get that when we come into--farther on into the Scriptures on our study over there in that... You know, Jesus...
