<TITLE>02. Par 10-15</TITLE>L-10 Now, my lesson on that is this. You see, it had too much pressure; blowed up. See? We don't want too much pressure, it--it'll blow up.
And another thing, I'd like to say this; it might get a little doctrinal point in. You see, if that rifle would've been started in the molds, a Weatherby magnum, it wouldn't have blowed up. But, you see, it was something else just part of the way converted; and that's the reason it couldn't stand the pressure.
And I believe in a religion that we don't patch up. We die and are borned again, and then we're a Christian that can stand all the pressure that the Holy Spirit wants to push out. So I--I think we have to get back to the beginning, not just try to make something out of something that isn't. We got too much of psychic religion today, instead of real born again experiences with God. And so somewhere along the road a little something will come along, will cause a little leak, and blow the pressure back, and you find yourself blowed up. So we believe in actually dying to yourself and all your thoughts and everything else, just die right out and let the Holy Spirit remake you. Just, get--you're a born again Christian, that's what you are, have an experience with God that you know you've passed from death unto Life. And that's what we believe.

L-13 We believe the Bible, and we believe that That is God's Book. We--we just stay right with the Bible. Now, I believe that God can do things that He hasn't got written in the Bible. Now, He's God; He can do whatever He wishes. But if I can just see Him in my lifetime, perform what He has promised, then I know it's right (See?), as long as it's in the Bible.
Now, in the Old Testament, as ministering brothers know, that in the--the Levitical priesthood, they had a way of knowing whether the prophet was telling the truth, or a dreamer's dream was right. They had what was called Urim Thummim. Now, that's been disputed what it was. But the most, the greatest and the most ethical point that I can see, and the most suitable way, was, they took the breastplate that was Aaron wore; which represented the twelve tribes by the birthstones of the tribes, and it hung in the temple on the post. And then when a prophet prophesied, and then they could know whether it was truth, or not; now, if those conglomeration of lights flashed on there, making the supernatural... God is Supernatural, because He's God, a Spirit. And if that Supernatural Light represented on there, like a rainbow flashing from this, then the word, the prophet was right. That's the way he's identified, or the dreamer was right. But if it did not flash on the Urim Thummim, then no matter how real it sound, they would not receive it, because it didn't flash on the Urim Thummim.

L-15 Now, the Levitical priesthood ceased at the death of the Lord Jesus. Now, we live in the Melchisedec Priesthood, Christ. Now, we still are not without a Urim Thummim. This is It now, the Bible. See, we must stay with the Scripture (not put our own interpretations to It) just the way It's written. Now, I believe that--that God will judge the world someday by Jesus Christ. I believe that. I--I believe that there will have to be some standard He'll have to judge by, because there's so much representing Christ, and so many...
