<TITLE>10. Par 88-92</TITLE>L-88 Now, I've had the privilege of traveling very much around the world. And I've heard different religions. I've heard different views. I've heard the Mohammedan, the Buddha, and Sikhs, Jains, and, oh, many hundreds of different views of religion, gods, goddess, and all those things. But there's none of them, not none of them, not one of them that's got one speck of truth about it.
This Christian religion is the right religion: death, burial, and resurrection, all nature, heavens itself, and earth, testifies of it. It is God's witness to His people every day, that there is a death, burial, and resurrection. Each season passes over our heads; we see death, burial, and resurrection. So we know that this is Truth; Christianity basically is the truth. It gives its testimony.

L-90 And it goes to show that it was made by a great, supreme Intelligence to serve a purpose. It's here for a purpose. God did not have to make trees like that. He made them like that, though they different one from another and so forth. He made all of that for His purpose to give witness and to give testimony. He could've made trees like something that would--would been something else, like rocks. He could've made trees any way He wanted to. He could've made flowers any way He wanted to. But He made them to bear witness, for they are God's witnesses. They are a true witness that all other religions is false and Jesus Christ is right. Death, burial, and resurrection gives witness that we are not dead eternally, but we live again: shows a supreme Intelligence.
We might, if time would permit... Which we don't want to take too long. But we might speak again... And not to pattern ourselves, this is the Tabernacle where we have our own teachings and our doctrines, and this is the place where I can teach what I think is right.

L-92 I want to notice another Intelligence, speaking of the grace of God that has appeared to us. Did you notice, the first thing is the root; the second thing is the stalk; the third thing is the fruit; and that ends it: justification, the root; sanctification, the stalk; and the fruit, original Seed. And that's Martin Luther, John Wesley, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit; justification, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That gives testimony to our views on the Scripture. And I have a dozen things wrote right here, that I could say about that, that--of different things that bears witness. By looking at the natural things, they testify of the spiritual things: justification, the roots; sanctification, the stalk; and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the fruit that comes forth from the results of root and stalk. That root came from a seed. The seed was like what went in the ground; it's back again.
And today we've lived through the Luther age; we lived through the Wesley age; and now we're living in the redeemed age of the Pentecostal. What is it? Bringing back the very same church, the very same thing that was planted on the day of Pentecost. Nature itself gives testimony to it, just the same as it gives testimony to death, burial, and resurrection.
