<TITLE>18. Par -</TITLE>L-26-1 Every man-made doctrine, he'd condemn it, such as baptism in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost. He'd throw that thing plumb back into eternity. He'd condemn it, so there wouldn't be a smell of it left. Yes, sir. How many you--how many of the church this morning would receive him upon that? Then they, this Jesus' Name bunch, they'd--they'd say, "Oh, we'd take him on that"; and then your organization, he'd blast you right on out with it (That's right.), your bobbed-haired women and you putting up with it. That's right. Your men, the way they do and act... That's right.
A lot of people say it's good to be a prophet. It is, if you're ready to sell out everything to the world and stay with God and with His Word.
No, we wouldn't receive him by no means, our denominations today. We certainly wouldn't have nothing to do with him.

L-26-4 Listen to him blast it. He said, "The very God that you claim to believe in, He'll destroy you." What would it do about that? The very God that Pentecost believes in, from the very immoral acts and things that they're doing and permitting to be done, that very God will bring judgment upon them organizations. That's right. That's exactly what Amos said to them.
"Oh," they said, "we got Abraham. We got--we got this. We got the law; we got priests; we got prophets."
Oh, brother, them eyes narrowed as he looked upon them and blast that Word into them. Yes, sir. Sure they wouldn't receive him. No, sir. He said, "They'll destroy them with your man-made doctrines." That's what he'd tell you today. He'd say the same as he did then. He said, "The very God that your building churches to (perhaps paying millions of dollars), the very shrines that you're building to Jehovah, that you claim that you love, that very God will destroy you; because you're rejecting His Word."

L-26-7 So is it today. The very God that America claims to serve will bring judgment upon the nation and destroy it. I hope that gets so deep that you'll never wiggle out of it. The very One that you claim that you love and with your own man-made dogmas, and immoral life, and decay that you got in you, away from the Word of God will destroy you someday. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Nothing else left for us.

L-27-1 Line up with the Word, preach the Gospel to them, cross the nation, tell them the Truth; the ministers fuss and scream and carry on; the men condemned; the organizations turn you out. The women shake their head and wouldn't let their hair grow out for nothing, wear their clothes just as exactly the same year after year. They's like pouring water on a duck's back. "Then you claim you love God?" he said.
Jesus said, "You've took your traditions and made the commandments of God of non-effect." That's the way of a true prophet. See? It's not a easy way. It's not what everybody thinks it could be, jump up-and-down, and scream, and everybody patting you on the shoulder; then that's a sign you're not a true prophet. That's one of the very signs that you haven't got what you're talking about.

L-27-3 When did they ever pat him on the back less they had an axe to grind? Why'd he turn around and condemn them? Right. Couldn't pat Amos on the back; they couldn't pat Elijah on the back; he didn't stand for that stuff. No, sir. He told them the God's Truth. And if heaven is so great and where we're going to, then if we can't line up with little bitty petty things, how we going to line with the Spirit there? You got to line with the Word. And that's the way of the true prophet. Though it tear him to pieces to say it, he's got to tear a nation to pieces with it. That's right. But that's the way.
