<TITLE>20. Par 176-185</TITLE>L-176 All right, it was a dog--dogma--Roman dogmas. And listen, I want to state something here. I was past that.
In the year of 1640... In the year of 1640, when Ireland's slaughter came on under the Roman Jesuits and the priests, one hundred thousand of Saint Patrick's converts was killed. If Saint Patrick was a Roman Catholic, then why did they kill their own people? Them were factory working people and everything. That's right. "One hundred thousand" on the martyrology, "that they put to death because they disagreed with the teaching."
I've been to some of Saint Patrick's churches in Northern Ireland. Yes, sir. I had the privilege of seeing that. It was just a big old hull. They didn't have them idols sticking up, and pouring stuff on their feet, and paying for them people to come back and get in that idol. "Mary, hail, Mary, and mother of God..." The same thing as they did to Astarte: bewitching the spirit of Mary.

L-179 Just two or three years ago, the Catholic church started a new dogma that Mary had rose up from the dead and is gone into heaven. How many remembers that? Oh, all of you do. The papers was full of it. Dogmas, it's built upon dogmas, and not one speck of truth nowhere.
Now, you Protestants are just as bad, that refuse to take the Word of God. It's dogma of the Protestant church the same as it's dogma of the Catholic church. And we're altogether wrong till we get back to the Word of the living God. Right.

L-181 You Assemblies of God, you Foursquare, you Pentecostal Oneness, threeness, or whatever you may be, come back to the Word of God. Quit some of these here denominational idols, denominational sphinx. They bewitch themselves, the spirit of the devil into these denominational idols. Do you know that? Denomination is an idol.
You say, "Are you a Christian?"
"I'm Presbyterian."
"Are you a Christian?"
"I'm a Methodist."
"Are you a Christian?"
"I'm Pentecostal."
That don't mean no more than what you're a hog, or a dog, or a skunk: has no more to do with it. That's right. What we need today is back to the Word of God.

L-183 Now, these shop workers and precious people in Northern Ireland... If Saint Patrick... Where all of his schools was... You know, his name wasn't Patrick? His name was Suscat. He was kidnaped as a little boy; his sisters was killed. And he returned back, because he trained dogs to chase hogs and so forth. So he--he--he--he did. When he did that, then they--he found his way back home to his father and mother. And he started a school. And the school in Northern Ireland never did accept the pope as the supreme vicar of God. They didn't believe it. They stayed with the Word. God bless that blessed saint, Saint Patrick, great man.

L-184 And you hear them say that Saint Patrick run all the snakes out of Ireland. Read the history and see what it was. Saint Patrick believed in speaking in tongues. Saint Patrick believed in taking up serpents or drinking deadly things. And when he could pick up a snake and throw it out of his way, they said, "He run snakes out of Ireland." It was because he believed in taking up serpents and nothing would harm them. Yes. Oh, sure.

L-185 They didn't have those--these great big shrines. And what would--what would a saint... What would Irenaeus do today? What would Saint Patrick do today to see the hundreds of billions of dollars placed into the Roman Catholicism to build big churches and million-dollar statues and everything? Just the same as the Protestants is doing.
I made a statement the other day, and it stumped everybody. That's the reason I'm holding this tape. You just let them alone; the blind leads the blind, let them fall in the ditch. That's the only thing you can do. See? When I told them about altar calls, there was no such a thing in the Bible as altar calls.
