<TITLE>13. Par 54-58</TITLE>L-54 He was just... He's no pollen of Mary. That knocks your Catholic idea a million miles. Had nothing to do with Mary; Mary was just an incubator. That's all. He never even called her "mother." Show me one time He called her "mother." He said, "woman." Amen. That's all she was, a woman that God used (That's right.), no goddess. "Mother of God," what a silly thing. Mother of God? Who can give--make God having a mother? Then Who was the mother of the mother of God? Oh, my.
Talk about eternal sonship. Son has a beginning. Eternal can't start, can't begin. And there... It always has been. How can it be an eternal son? Oh, my. How you... I'm a dummy, and I know better than that. Sure.
He was the expressed Image of God, 'cause He was God's thought expressed by His Word. God said, "Let there be," and it was. He overshadowed Mary. She nursed Him, true. Certainly. You're doing the same thing tonight, as you feed Him your praise and glory (That's right.), commune with God.

L-55 Now, watch. He was the Word. See now, Jesus, He just said this because He was the Word. But to us, we have to approach God through the Word. See? The Word comes to the prophets. They're not the Word. In the Old Testament, now, Elijah and Moses, and all those great prophets, they wasn't the Word. They were the--they were a perverted body that the Word of God came to. The Bible said the Word of God come to the prophets. They wasn't the Word. But Jesus was the Word. Amen, amen. Oh, I just love that. All right.

L-56 Now, why did He never fail to stay right with that Word? Satan tried to pervert it like he did to Eve. He said, "It is written thou shall... He give the Angels charge concerning thee, lest any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."
He said, "It's also written." See? Oh, He just poked it right back at him. Then He said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every," every, not a little bit here, and a little over yonder, mix it together with some theology of the world-made, man-minded people, "but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, man shall live by that." Every Word, every Word, every Word of God, men shall live by. That's what he shall live by. Jesus said so, and He was the Word.

L-57 So now, then if a true prophet stays with the Word, and you see the manifestation of the Word, like Micaiah did, like Moses, like all of them did; then a false prophet would be a one that would cause you--try to make you dismayed about the signs of God's Word. He'd be a false prophet. Jesus said beware of them, and they will fool or deceive the very elected if it was possible. See, they'll come right up there, and claim to be everything else, but they just don't... When they go to moving away from that Word, you move away too. Move away from them; stay with the Word.

L-58 We're coming into a season I think now, they're going to call it Lent. Lent...?... I think that's what you call it, something like that. That's all right. If they want to... I--I'll go with them that far. But, you know, don't drink, and don't smoke, and don't do so-and-so, Protestants, Catholics, and all along. That's all right. I don't believe in doing that either. Sure, I quit that. But after forty days, then you get away from me again. I go with you that far, then you pull back in the mud again. I don't want to go back. Let's keep on going. If it's good forty days, let's keep it on, and on, and on. See? Stay with the Word. Stay with Eternal Life. Stay with Christ. If it works good for forty days, it'll work the rest of your life. Sure, because the Word's eternal. All right.
