<TITLE>11. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 Now. Now, we find out that when Jesus came to the earth... Now, in order to express the Word of God, He had to be a--a--a prophet, because always the Word of the Lord came to the prophets. Now, we know that. Now, Deuteronomy the 18th chapter, and--It said that... Moses said (the great leader that they... God had chose, and sent down with a Light above him, a Pillar of Fire, and had led the children into the promised land according to what He told Abraham many years before, and led them over there), he said in his time of going, "Now, the Lord your God shall raise up from among your brethren a prophet like unto me."
And he went ahead and told that the people who would not believe this prophet would be cut off from the congregation. And they denied Him, and disbelieved Him, and they're cut off from the congregation. That's exactly right. Notice. So He must be a prophet.

L-38 If you read in Saint John 5:19, Jesus said Himself, after passing by the pool of Bethesda... And there He found this man laying there, and they questioned Him about healing the rest of them, or whatever they did. He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise."
Now, do you believe that that is an inspired Scripture of God? Then Jesus never performed one miracle, or did anything, until first by vision He saw the Father do it. Can't make Him lie, and let Him remain God... See?
You must believe the Word, just the way It's written. There's no contradiction in It. I've asked through the years for one person to show me a contradiction. It's not there. Though the whole book of sixty-six, wrote hundreds and hundreds of years apart by different prophets and so forth, but every word comes right together and dovetails just like that. That's right. It don't contradict Itself. It does not.
So we see that the Word is true. That's the way you can have faith, not in a church, in an organization, but in the Word. That's the thing that isn't going to pass.

L-39 And if God's ever called on the scene to make a decision, and the decision He makes first He has to ever remain with that same decision.
Now, look. You and I can make a decision, and maybe after while we find out we were wrong, so we make another decision. It's a better one. Later we find out we was wrong there. We make another decision, because we're finite, human beings of the earth, creatures of the--of time.
But God is infinite, so He cannot make better decisions, because every decision is perfect. If it... And if He... If it isn't... If He was called on the scene to save a man, and upon the basis He saved that man, He has to forever stay with that same basis that He saved the first man by. If He doesn't, then He done wrong when He acted the first time. And then you'd have to say God made a mistake.
Now, you'd say, "I'm mistaken. I oughtn't to have done that. I'll do your way, do it this other way." Now, wouldn't that be a God? God is infinite. What was the basis God saved man on the first time? Under shed blood, and He has never changed it, and He never will change it. Yes, sir. It's the blood that saves.

L-40 The Garden of Eden, there was an innocent beast killed, shed blood to save Adam and Eve from the torments beyond, hell: an innocent blood. And today, though we've tried to educate people to it, we've tried denominate people to it, we've tried to do everything, and we find out that we separate men. But under one thing, the shed Blood, we're all can be brothers and sisters in Christ. It's still the shed Blood of an innocent One that saves.
Divine healing was based upon... The first time God was ever called on the scene to heal a man, the first thing, we understand, was his consumption. And when He did he based it upon the basis of, "If you will believe..." and He's never changed it since. It's a faith in God's promise. Therefore, it must ever remain the same as...
