<TITLE>14. Par 157-171</TITLE>L-157 {546-5} Same thing it is in the Gentile church. There is a Bride, and She is elected, and he will be called according to the election. Notice, this all types the Church perfectly, the elected believers; others do not believe. You can just tell it. You tell a man a truth and let it be proven by the Word and then vindicated, "I don't believe it."
You can just... Don't fool with it no more. Jesus said not to. Said, "It's just like casting pearls before swine." See? Said, "Just leave them alone. They'll turn and tramp you under their feet." They'll make fun of you. Just walk away and leave them if the blind leads the blind...

L-160 {547-2} I went to a man not long ago... He come to me rather. He'd been arguing all around everywhere against Divine healing. And he come up, and he said, "I don't believe your Divine healing."
I said, "My, I guess it wouldn't be any good 'cause I ain't got any"; and he... I said, "but God's is perfect."
He said, "There is no such a thing."
I said, "You're too late to say that, Buddy. Yeah, you done--you done waited too long for that. You might've argued a few years ago, but there's another age on now: there's millions to testify. See?" I said, "You're--you're too late now, fellow, to say that."
He said--he said, "Well, I don't believe it. I don't care what you do."
I said, "Certainly not. You can't." See?
He said, "Smite me blind." Said, "If you're--you got the Holy Ghost like Paul," said, "smite me blind."
I said, "How can I do it when you are already blind?" I said, "Your father has blinded you to the Truth." I said, "You--you're already blind."
And he said, "I wouldn't believe; I don't care what you could do, how much evidence you can prove or anything like that; I still don't believe it."
I said, "Certainly, it wasn't for unbelievers; it was only for believers."

L-168 {547-6} What was it? See, you know right then the election's off. Just don't fool with it at all. Jesus did the same thing. He said, "Let them alone. If the blind lead the blind, won't they all fall in the ditch?" But when He come to a little prostitute, it struck fire. What was it? It was an elected seed laying there (See?) that seen it right now.
When It come to Peter, there was an elected seed laying there, see, and they saw it, "And all the Father has give... hath (past tense) given Me, they'll come. They'll come to Me." Oh, my, I love that. Yes, sir. Notice, the believers does believe it. The unbelievers can't believe it. So now, if anybody wants to argue about the serpent's seed and things and you try to show them, they won't listen to it, just walk away. Leave them alone. See, God don't argue, neither does His children. See, see?

L-171 {548-2} Notice, God's one hundred and forty-four thousand elected Jews don't bow to the beast, his denominationalism, statues, or anything. Though their nation is in a covenant with it at the time, Israel is in a covenant, but here's a hundred and forty-four thousand that's not going to do it. That's the elected.
Same thing it is right here in the Gentile church now. It's an elected group. You can't pull them in that kind of stuff. They won't believe it. No, sir. The Light once struck them, that settles it right then. They see the--see it happen, and then see it vindicated and proved, and like that, and they look down here in the Bible and see that Word just going... Oh, you--you just might as well just quit fooling with them, 'cause they believe it. That's all. That's all. Though they can't explain it, but they know they got it. I... As I say, "There's a lot of things I can't explain, but I--I know it's real anyhow." See?
