<TITLE>20. Par 147-153</TITLE>L-147 Now, notice. But now, in this, Jesus came and He was God. Not only the life of another man could come back on another man, but the very Life of God, making him a child of God, putting him back into the same union he was before the fall. Now, we're getting to real oneness.
People, somebody says to me, "Brother Branham, aren't you oneness?" Not the organization oneness. But I'm oneness with Christ (See?), but not the organization oneness.
He paid the debt of sin, now, in order to get oneness between God and man. Jesus could not do it as long as He was here in a body of flesh. So He had to become the complete sin-offering to take away the guilt of the believer (See?), take it away so that the Holy Ghost could come into man, and make man and God oneness again. See, there had to be something to re-establish.

L-150 Now, what could re-establish? When God's commandment is fulfilled. Could an Angel fulfill it? He has no blood. Could God have fulfilled it? He had no blood. And God became flesh and blood in order that He could pay the debt correctly and take away sin, because that's the only way. Towers of Babel separating them across the earth, everything else, organizations and things had failed in every way; they get mixed up together, the world and everything else; but this was going to be a total separation. Glory.
Now, I feel religious. Well, I feel like I can take My text now and start preaching right now. Just getting warmed up now to where I can get started right here, and it's time for me to stop. Hm. Maybe I'll finish it later sometime, the oneness of God and man. Do you understand? All that understands, say "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen"--Ed.]

L-152 See, that's the only way that man could be back in his original state again, is for that penalty of sin to be paid. The penalty of sin is what? Death. "Wages of sin is death." And God said, "The day you eat thereof, the day that you have this affair, that's the day you'll die." And when it did, it broke his relationship, fellowship and everything from man, and could not come back any more until that penalty was paid. And nobody was worthy to pay it, because everyone fell with the human being, 'cause every creature's under the human being, and he was fallen. Glory, Oh, brother.

L-153 Brother Mac, I didn't see you setting there, God bless you. We believe this, Brother Mac. "Come under the penalty of death..." Brother Mac here used to be pastor here at the Tabernacle when I left. Yeah. Now... Another good old Baptist, Missionary Baptist down there that got the Holy Ghost... See?
Notice now, they come into the oneness with God.
