<TITLE>06. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 This World Council of Churches, why, they're fighting at their ownselves. They're cutting their throat. How can they ever get fellowship, when people in there don't even believe in God? Infidels and everything else, how can you... Jesus said, "How can two walk together, except they be agreed." How can you do it? There's only one way you can walk with another man; that's when you're agreed with him. So how you going to cut off in denominations and so forth, and make an agreement, when one separates himself from the other?
And yet, God wants us to fellowship. There's something in us to make fellowship. Man's always wanted to do it. But he's always tried to achieve by his own knowledge how to bring it. And he will never be able to do it.
There's only one place of genuine fellowship, and that's under the shed Blood of the innocent. That's the only way we can have it. We would to have fellowship with every church would be a Lutheran. If every church would be a Baptist, or so forth, we could have fellowship under the denominational rights. But we who read the Bible know that these things makes us disagree.

L-22 Now, the only thing we can have fellowship under, is like we set here tonight: Methodists, Baptists, Lutheran, Presbyterian, or whatevermore when we're under the shed Blood of the innocent. That was God's requirement, and God never does change His program. When God once makes a decision He has to forever remain with that decision.
Now, He's infinite. We're--we are not infinite. We are--we're mortal beings; so therefore, we are finite. So we cannot be--be infinite. So then we make promises. You make promises; you have to break them. You do something today and tomorrow you'd know more about it, so you can do it better tomorrow. Next year you still do it better than you did that day, because you learn more about it; 'cause we are finite, bound to--to this little three dimensions that we live in.
But God is infinite. Therefore, God can speak once and it--His decision is perfect, and it can never change. That's the reason, "My faith is built on nothing less, than Jesus' Blood and righteousness. When all around my soul gives way, then He's all my hope and stay. For on Christ, the solid Rock, I stand: all other ground is sinking sand."

L-23 And Christ is the Word. He is the Word. Upon... He said that heavens and earth would pass away, "but My Word shall never pass away." Not one word of It can fail, because it's God's Word. You cannot... In the last book of the Revelation it said, "Whosoever shall take one word out of This, or add one word to It, the same will be taken out--his part from the Book of Life."
Therefore, any creed, anything else that would add anything to the Word of God, or take anything out of It, it's death to do so, like it was to Eve in the beginning. It's a death penalty to take or add. Just take it the way It says. The Bible says, "It's of no private interpretation." It's already interpreted. Just read It and believe It. God watches over His Word to keep It. Therefore it's His Word, what we have to stand on.

L-24 Now, the only place... Therefore, believing His Word, the only place, under the shed Blood, is the place for fellowship, where everybody can rally around and feel the same; because it's under one place of the shed Blood. Now, to place your faith upon anything else besides the Word of God is sinking sand. No matter what it is, it's still sinking sand. It's got to be the Word. That is true. We believe that.
That's the reason I have faith to believe that everything that God promised... Now, I say God can do things that's not written in the Word. That's true. But as long... I'd have to wonder about that. But as long as He gives me what He promised here, I'll be satisfied with just what He promised. Then I'm positive to be right. Stay with His Word. His Word cannot change. For if He can change, then God can change, if the Word can change. If the Word needs altering, then God is not God.
