<TITLE>34. Par -</TITLE>L-55-4 "Why, Brother Branham, our church... What do you think you are, just a little 'peanut brain' down there?" That's true, that's exactly right. That's true. But whatever I am, let me stay with that Word; it'll grow into something someday. See? Just stay with that Word no matter what it is. We ain't got nothing but just a little tabernacle here; that's as much as we need right at this present time. It's a place to set, 'cause we're looking for Jesus to come. We don't want no great big denominations that have to spend millions every year on buildings and things like that, and people trying to preach the Word, suffering out there with nothing to eat, and things like that. What's the matter with the people any--? Ohhh, look like people could wake up.

L-55-5 But anybody could accept Catholicism, could be blind enough to accept anything. I tell you the truth. Anybody who'd let that go down their neck could--could... A wise man. No wonder the Bible said, "Even the kings of the earth committed fornications with her." And the wise man--knowledge. See? And they make it... Them priests, smart? Man-oh-man! You talk about educated! Boy, they have to have years after years after years after years.

L-56-1 They say they don't live with those nuns. Then I want to ask you something: Why don't they become sterile then? They're the bride and that--they're the--nuns is the bride and that's the bridegroom, of course. That's right. Mother Superior smothers the babies and puts them in the lime pit. You don't believe it, listen to a real one's been in there testify of it, say, "Now, come on, let the law arrest me." And said, "We'll do the same thing they did in Russia, and the same thing they done in Mexico. We'll bust that thing wide open, when it gets to the government." But how you going to do it now when we got the head of it right there in the government? See. See?
That's--that Word's got to be fulfilled. They organized an image over here to that beast that set there, and they both communed together and give power to this beast to speak. Oh, brother, that Word's going to stand right there. Not communism's going to take over, but Romanism is.

L-56-3 Now, looky here at this. Cain said, "Surely He will receive my sacrifice." But what kind... He said, "I made a sacrifice." But what kind of a sacrifice was it? Botany life, plants, flowers, vegetables--botany life. What? There's no suffering to it, no penalty.
People don't want to suffer. That's what's the matter today. They come--they come right now and believe this Word if they didn't have to get out of their church, if they didn't have to be laughed at, made fun of. No, they want botany life, some kind of a wisdom. "Well, this life is just as good as that." It's not! I'll show you where that comes from just in a minute, the Lord willing.

L-56-5 But Abel, by faith (Glory!)... Cain by wisdom said, "Surely God will accept this. Here's an altar; I got a church." (That's what a church is, an altar, place of worship. All right.) "I got an altar. I want to worship just as sincere as my brother, and I've got a beautiful something here for it. Surely God will receive it." That's the same thing the devil told his mother--same lie, wisdom.
Now, Abel... Hebrews 11 said, "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain. He being yet dead, yet it spake." See?
