<TITLE>19. Par -</TITLE>L-29-1 Now, here they are. He is now a son of God, but he makes a mistake. He knows he's doing wrong. Now remember, Adam was not deceived. The Bible said so: I Timothy 3: "Adam was not deceived, but the woman was the--deceived, was in the transgression." Adam walked with Eve, because it was his wife. Same as Christ, not deceived by Satan, but walked into the death with the Bride. He went to be with the Bride, so He could redeem the Church.
Adam knowed he was wrong, so he just walked out with Eve. See? But there was a lamb provided for them, that they were redeemed. And these lambs today, that were foreknown by God and God has called, there is a Redeemer. "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him; and all the Father has given Me will come to Me." Is that right?
So there is a provided Lamb from the foundation of the world, where their names are put on the Lamb's Book of Life. A Lamb was provided to make a way of grace for every one of them to go in the resurrection: a provided lamb, Adam's lamb.

L-29-4 Now notice, as Adam had a provided lamb. Now, that's the Church today. I don't mean the--the church. You know what? I don't say this to be sacrilegious, and I don't mean it to hurt anybody's feelings. I'm not here to do that, 'cause I've already explained myself; I'm here to help. But what I'm trying to do... You know what? Actually these churches are not churches. There's only one Church. These are lodges (See?); they are lodges. I ain't got nothing... It's all right, but I--I want to prove that to you in a few minutes, that they are merely lodges. You belong to the Methodist lodge, to the Presbyterian lodge, or to the Pentecostal lodge, as far as that goes, that's... You see? Lodges... See? You cannot... See, churches are actually lodges where people with the same idea drift together. But the Church is one. And you cannot join the Church; you are borned in It. And when you're borned in It, you're a member of It.
Just like my family. I've been in the Branham family for fifty-three years; they never did ask me to join the family. Why? I don't have to join the family. I was borned a Branham. And you're born in the Church. Now, these others are lodges. Did you ever think of that? Yes, sir.

L-30-1 One day I was mowing grass, and I was thinking about, well, the great holy Catholic church, they call it. I was going along like that, mowing, and something stopped me just as stiff, said, "Don't call that that." And I looked around. I started mowing on; again it stopped me, said, "Don't call them that." Said, "They are a lodge like others. They are not Church. There's one Church." See? They are members of a lodge, 'cause you can join a lodge, but you can't join the Church. The Church, you're borned in It. You become a member of It by new birth, then a member of the family, a brother or sister in It...

L-30-2 Now, let me just read to you out of "The Emphatic Diaglott" here something, of Revelations 17:3, in the Apocalypse of "The Emphatic Diaglott" here, and just watch this, how this reads and how--how beautifully it just compares with that: Revelations 16--17. All right. Now, let's read here just a minute. Listen to this real close. Revelations 17:3:
And one of those seven Angels having... seven bowls came and spoke to me,... (I'm reading you out of the Lexicon.)... having, Come, I will show thee the judgment of that great whore, who setteth upon many waters;... (And we all know that's the Vatican.)
