<TITLE>16. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 Said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life. They are They which testify of Me. If I do not the works of My Father then believe Me not." How many times this week we've went through that, back and forth, to show that He was the Word. So you see nature, Word, Son. It's all coming to the same God, actually the same God working in a different channels.
Jesus was God manifested in the flesh. He was God the Word. Every one of us believe that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Jesus is the Son of God, that is the body, and God was the Spirit that dwelt in that Tabernacle that He created for Himself, a virgin body. God...
That's the reason He said here, "I've been so long with you and you don't know Me? He that's seen Me hath seen the Father." In other words, "You see the Father working through Me. God is a Spirit. They that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and truth." See? God is a Spirit. And here we find the Word being made manifest. In I John we find it; also in John 11, it says here that... And also in John 5:24, We find many places. John 14, Jesus said that, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Why? It's the Word made manifest in them.

L-57 Here some time ago I was preaching, exalting... And a woman, belongs to another church. I don't like to call churches, denominational names; but this woman, she belonged to a church that believed in mental healing. They believe that the--that the devil is a thought, and God's a thought, and your--your thoughts is whatever it is. They deny the Deity of Jesus Christ in this day that when people try to make Jesus just a man.
Why, He was more than a man. If He was just a man, we're all lost. He was God, nothing less of God. He was God manifest in the flesh: Jehovah, the Father, dwelling in His Son, reconciling the world to Himself.
That's the reason we was commissioned by Saint Matthew there, "baptize them in the Name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost." Watch. Not three Gods, three manifestations of the same God. God the Father was a Pillar of Fire. It was made flesh and dwelled among us: God the Son. God above us, God with us, now, the same God, the Holy Ghost in us. Three office: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It's the same God, not three Gods; the one God made Hisself three offices, three manifestations. Amen.
Oh, what a world we're living in. Notice, perfect. Now, when He was here on earth...

L-58 ...?... This woman said, "Mr. Branham," she said, "I enjoy hearing you speaking, but there's one fault I find with you."
And I said, "What's that?" She said, "You brag too much on Jesus."
"Oh," I said, "if that's the only fault I got. I--I sure thank you, lady, if that's all you can find wrong with me." I said, "I hope God's that way when I come to meet Him, and just find just bragging on His Son too much is the only fault I had."
And she said, "Well, you said that you were a fundamentalist. You just spoke with the Bible and you didn't put nothing..."
I said, "That's exactly. I still say that."
She said, "If I can prove to you by your own Bible that He wasn't Divine... You're always making Him Divine."
I said, "He--He was... If He wasn't Divine, He was the biggest deceiver the world ever had, and we're all in sin. If He's just an ordinary man, then any other man could've died, one for the other one. He could be nothing short of God." That's right.
