<TITLE>12. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 Now, this super Seed came. Some of them said, "Well, now, wait a minute." The germ, of course, comes from the male sex. That was God-created. But the--the egg in the woman was His body. It was? You think that, that that would be of the woman? If it was, look what you put Jehovah doing. That egg cannot be there without a sensation. There had to be something happen. And look where you put Jehovah, mixed up in sex. God created the entire Being of Christ in the womb of Mary, and she was just a woman, an incubator, that bare this Son. Wasn't nothing of her. Now. She's just a woman that God used.

L-49 Now, the royal Seed came, and the royal Seed had to die for all of us. Now, each one of these seeds of Abraham, in the natural, possessed every one of their gates. How we could go down through and name them by the dozens here, of how many gates the enemy of--they possessed the enemy of the gates. But finally all those great warriors had to die. But along came the royal Seed. Amen.
When He was here on earth He possessed the gate of sickness: took it. He possessed the gate of every enemy come before Him and took it. And He died, yea, and He rose again. And He possessed the keys to the Kingdom of God, to the--the hell, death, and the grave. He took everything. He was a super Seed, the super Promise. Remember, it's an everlasting sign. He arose from the dead. He is not dead.

L-50 Mexico: a few nights ago here, I was telling you about the little woman that--the little Catholic lady that had her baby was raised from the dead. The newspapers interviewed me the next day, and they were saying, "Mr. Branham, you are not a... You're just a non-Catholic, aren't you?"
I said, "No, sir, I am a Protestant."
He said, "You don't protest the church?"
I said, "I do, not the people, the church, the system." I never... God died for the people. That is true. But I don't... I do not condemn the people. It's the system that rules over them. That's the system that I condemn.
He said, "Then you're not just a non-Catholic then. You are a Protestant."
I said, "Yes."
"What denomination do you belong to?"
I said, "I'd be as bad off as I ever was: none." I said, "I was borned into the Kingdom of God." That's right.
So then he said, "What's your... Do you believe that our saints could raise the dead too?"

L-51 I said, I, my... Remember my background. I'm an Irishman. My background was Catholic. And I said... I know you couldn't be a saint till you were dead, what they said.
And he said, "Well, you cannot be a saint until you're dead."
I said, "Then Paul wasn't a saint when he preached? Peter, James, John, the rest of them wasn't saints until they died, was canonized by some Roman church? Hmph Don't tell me that."
He said, "What's your opinion of the Catholic church?"
I said, "I'm sorry you asked me that." And he said... I said, "Do I have to answer you?"
He said, "I'd like to hear you."
I said, "Not no disregard to you, but I think it's the highest form of spiritualism there is."
And he said, "How do you get that?"
I said, "Anything that intercedes with the dead is spiritualism."
"Why," he said, "How do you get that?"
I said, "All these gods and goddesses and everything else that you pray to, they're dead."
And he said, "Why, Mr. Branham," he said, "you worship Christ, and He died."
