<TITLE>20. Par 68-70</TITLE>L-68 Jesus said, "As the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man": right against wrong, Light against dark, Life against death, the Word against science. That's right. Scientific research will disprove the Word as they think it does; but it don't disprove the Word. Satan had--has his system at work again to get people to misbelieve the Word of God.
Satan's wrong way of worship, like Cain and like Balaam, they're very religious. Cain was religious. He brought an altar, made an altar; and frankly, Cain was more religious than Abel. Sure was. He done more for the Lord than Abel did; but Abel come in the way of the Word. That's all. He done more, he built a great denomination, he built a great thing, a great Christian heritage. But you see, he come in the wrong way, and it was--it wasn't received. Now... Wrong, for it was contrary to the Word...
Balaam was just as religious as Moses. He come with the same sacrifice, the same lambs, the same clean animals, and everything, and prayed to the same God, and offered sacrifice to the same God that Moses did, so he come in the wrong way. See? It was contrary to the Word, like it was in Eden.

L-69 The Word won't mix with modern theory. See? You can't have modern theory. (Now in closing, listen close.) The Word won't mix with any modern theory. It can't have a theory and have the Word. You've got to have the Word or the theory. Now, which are you going to believe? If the Bible teaches the baptism is in the Name of Jesus Christ, and the church says, "It's Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," then who you going to believe?
If Jesus said, "You must be borned again," and the church says, "Come, join," now what are you going to believe? If Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe," and the church says, "You're just a good member," who you going to believe? If Jesus said, "The works that I do shall you do also," and the church says, "Days of miracles is past," who you going to believe?
You see what I mean? I can stand here an hour, right down those things, bringing those different things, how theory has built up a system to counteract the Word of God. Now, Christians, stay behind the Word. Yes, sir.
Wrong way of life, trying to mix it... Today they take these women that's dressed any way; take these men if they smoke, drink, or anything else, make them deacons and so forth in the church, even pastors. These dressed women, any way they want to dress, and bring them in and make them sisters in the church. Don't you never try to get to heaven like that. It just won't mix with modern theory.

L-70 So we have two classes today that's professing (Now listen close, in closing.), we have two classes that's professing to be the Bride of Christ. That's right. And the Bible speaks there'll be two classes (That's right.): the wise virgin and the foolish one. Is that right. There's two classes.
The church says, "We are the church." They go out and have these great evangelistic campaigns, bring the peoples into the church. The women continue on with their way of doing. The men continue on with their way of doing. They never change their doctrine. They've got it all wrote out, and documented, and set down, and those apostles' creed, and certain prayers, and all these catechisms, and everything that the Methodists and Baptists and Presbyterians and Catholic and all, read.
And they accept that catechism because some great man back behind said that was right. He might've been a great man. He might've been right. But he hasn't got the authority to say that, 'cause the Bible is God's authority. It's the written Word of God, and, "Any man that adds one thing to it, or takes anything from it, the same will be taken, his part out of the Book of Life." That can't be done so.
