<TITLE>07. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 So Israel... God called Moses out and said, "I'm going to destroy the whole nation. Just step aside." Moses interceded, throwed hisself in the breach. It was Christ in Moses. You see? God would've killed the whole world one time for sin, but Christ throwed Hisself in the breach for the whole human race. Moses throwed hisself in the breach for Israel.
And he said, "You made a promise, God. You made a promise that you'd take them to the land." That's right. What did Moses do to God? When looked like God was going to do something contrary, he throwed the Word in His way. Amen. Oh, I love that. Now, I feel like shouting just talking about it. Put the Word in the way. God can't walk over His own Word.
Said, "You promised to do it. You said You would take them to a good land that was flowing with milk and honey. I've told them what You said, and here we are. We're on Your hands."
God said, "I'll take that stubborn bunch and let them rot in the wilderness. But I'll take them children of theirs that they said that wouldn't go anywhere, they'd perish in the wilderness, and I'll take them over." That's right.

L-25 See, sin is horrible. What is sin? Smoking? Nope. Drinking? Nope. Lying? Nope. Committing adultery? No. That's not sin. No sin about that at all. See? No. Telling a lie is not sin. Cursing, using God's Name, that's not sin. Huh-uh. Unbelief is sin. Yeah. Why do you do that? It's because you don't believe. That's it. That's... Get back to the cause. See, see?
You lie, steal, commit adultery because you don't believe. Exactly. "But he that believeth not is condemned already." Before he even starts he's condemned, because he don't believe. That's right. Now, you do that because you're an unbeliever. If you do that, and say you're a believer, you're not a believer. Your own testimony, your fruits prove that you're not. See? You've got to get rid of that before you're even a believer. See? Now. Sin is unbelief, and unbelief is sin, rather. And so, you see, that is the trouble.

L-26 And then they said, "Well, now, I tell you what. We've done a lot of this, so we'll just repent. We'll go up here, and mourn a few days, and cry a little bit. And--and--and God will forgive us for it, and we'll go right on."
Moses said, "Why do you transgress the commandments of God? I've told you, as His prophet, in the Name of the Lord, that you're finished." Amen. Now, that's just as much commandment as John 3:16. "God's through with you. Why are you trying to rise again?"
Like, I was talking to a fellow over getting after me about hitting the denominations. I ain't got nothing against the people in them denominations. It's that system I'm hitting at.
If I seen you floating down the river here towards the falls, and you were in a little old boat, and I knowed that that boat wasn't going to make that falls, wouldn't I scream at you? It isn't that I don't like you; I love you. It's that boat's going to wreck up with you. Yes, sir.
It's those creeds and denomination going to wreck up out yonder, because they're contrary to the Word. See? That's right. It's contrary. Stay with the Word. Don't presume they're all right. They're not. They're contrary to God's Word. So stay with the Word. See? Now.
