<TITLE>04. Par 36-49</TITLE>L-36 {397-4} Now, like a person said they had a vision, and said, that--that it was... Oh, they know the Lord give it because it come with great power. Well, the vision might be all right, but if it isn't with the Word and contrary to the Word, it isn't right.
Now, they may be present, some Mormon brethren or sisters, and they may be some get these tapes now. And I don't want to say that... Some of the finest people I--you would want to meet would be--be in the Mormon people, very fine type of people; and then their--their prophet, Joseph Smith, that the Methodist people killed here in Illinois, on their journey over... And so then that--that fine man... And the vision, I don't doubt at all but what he had the vision. I believe he's a sincere man, but the vision he had was contrary to the Scripture; therefore, they had to have a Mormon Bible to--to make it. (See?) This is It here, to me. This is... That's the reason. Just the Word; that's it. See?

L-39 {397-6} One time a--a--a m--a minister came here from a foreign country, and he--and I seen him out with a--or riding around in a car with (which is not), with a--a lady. And they come to a meeting. And I found out they drove two or three days (just he and she in the meeting), to come to the meeting together; and the woman had been married three or four different times. And this minister walked up in the hotel lobby where I was and run over and shook hands with me, and I shook his hand, raised up and was talking to him.
I asked him; I said, "When you're free, could I speak to you in my room just a moment?"
He said, "Certainly, Brother Branham." I took him to the room, and I said to the minister; I said, "Reverend, sir, you're a stranger in this land," I said, "but this lady has a quite a name." I said, "You come all the way from Such-and-such a place down to this Such-and-such a place?"
Said, "Yes, sir."
And I said, "Aren't you afraid that that'll kinda... I--I don't... I'm not doubting you, but don't you think that'll reflect on your reputation as a minister? Don't you think we should put a--a little better example than that?"
And he said, "Oh, this lady's a saint." I said, "I--I don't doubt that," but I said, "but, brother, the thing of it is that everybody that looks at her is not a saint. (You see?), that looks at what you're doing." And I said, "I believe you better be careful. That's just one brother to another." And he said... I said, "The lady's been married four or five times now."
And he said, "Yes, I know that." Said, "You know..."
I--I--I said, "You don't teach that in your church at home, do you, brother?"
So said, "No, but" said, "you know, I had a vision of it, Brother Branham."
I said, "Well, that's fine." I said... He said, "Do you mind?" Said, "I believe I could straighten you out a little bit on your teaching about that."
And I said, "All right." And--and he--I said, "I'd be glad to know it, sir."
He said, "Well," said, "you know, in this vision," he said, "I was asleep."
And I said, "Yeah." (I seen then it was a dream, see.)

L-49 {398-4} And he said, "My--my wife," said, "she had been living with another man," and said, "and running around on me." And said, "Then she come to me, and she said to me, 'Oh, darling, forgive me; forgive me.' Said, 'I--I--I--I'm sorry I did it. I'll be true from now on.'" Said, "Of course I loved her so much I just forgive her, said, 'All right.'" And said, "Then," and said, "Do you know what? Then I got the interpretation of this vision." Said, "That was the woman." Said, "Sure, she's been married and--and so forth and all these times," and said that, "it's all right for her to marry because the Lord loved her so much she can marry as many times as she wants to far as it was."
I said, "Your vision was mighty sweet, but it's way off the beaten path here." I said, "That's--that's wrong. You see? You shouldn't do that."
