<TITLE>14. Par 113-117</TITLE>L-113 Now, there's a great stand-back between some of these high Episcopalians and so forth and the Catholic church, is upon that subject, whether it is the literal Body or it represents the body. The Roman Catholic says it is the literal body, because that was the literal body of Baal the sun god that reflected hisself on that piece of brass and made it round. No Christian table has round bread on it.
Then they wanted to face the east, and so forth, like they did in the pagan worship, and bring women in, and so forth, just like they've always did--like the pagans to the goddess, and so forth. Now, they just taken down Astarte and put up Mary, made her the queen of heaven. They taken down Jupiter and put up Peter. And they had to get a dogma. In order to do that, they had...
When Aquila and Priscilla returned back after thirteen years of the reign of Claudius; then when they returned back, they found their church completely given to idolatry, but had growed to a mammoth, big thing.

L-116 In order to bring this in, they must absolutely take away the Bible. Now, I'm an Irishman. I've got what they call "Facts of Our Faith" that belongs only to a priest, and so forth. And I know this with interviews with priests, the priest will not argue you the Bible; the Bible's just another book to him. When this here Bishop Sheen said here about two years ago, that "Anybody that tried to believe the Bible, was like walking through muddy waters." They don't believe That. They started there, and they said, "God is in His church, not His Word."

L-117 This priest up here on the road, that came for the interview recently, up here at the Sacred Heart, he said to me, or this church up the road. I forget what it is. I think it's called Sacred Heart. He come to me about the baptism, Mary Elizabeth Frazier, who had backslid and turned to be a Catholic. He said, "Did you baptize her?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "How did you baptize her?"
I said, "In Christian baptism."
He said, "What way do you mean?"
I said, "There's only one Christian baptism."
He said, "What do you mean, by immersing?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "You immersed her then in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?"
I said, "That's not Christian baptism." I said, "Christian baptism is immersing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."
He put it down. He said, "Will you swear to this oath to--or this declaration to the bishop?"
I said, "If he can't believe my word, let him do without it." I said, "I don't swear by nothing." See? And he said... And I said, "Not to be arrogant, sir, but I know the Bible said, 'Don't swear by heavens or by earth, because it's His footstool,' and so forth. We're not supposed to do that."
He said, "Strange, the Catholic church used to baptize like that."
I said, "When? When?" See? But they say that they did it.
Because frankly, they were, and we were all one at the beginning, and it... The origin--origin come from Pentecost. That's the beginning of the first church anywhere, anybody can talk about. The Christian church begin at Pentecost with a Pentecostal experience, Pentecostal people, Pentecostal baptism. All come from the original church at Pentecost.
