<TITLE>11. Par 117-129</TITLE>L-117 The church is pretty today, that's true, bigger buildings than you ever had, the greatest congregations you ever preached to, the better intellected ministers than you used to have. You used to have man out of cornfields somewhere, that God called out there on the broom-sage patch. But now you've sent your children to school, and made grandchildren out of them, and come back with all the Ph.D's, and LL.D. And even one of the great Pentecostal churches today, before they send a man to the mission fields, he has to stand before a psychiatrist to see if he is mentally intellected enough. Think of it!

L-118   In Pentecost, the requirement was not a mental test, it was a test of the Holy Spirit that fell down on the Day of Pentecost. That's out of the question to the people today.

L-119 Did you know the Roman Catholic church was first the original Pentecostal church? It taken it two thousand years to get in the condition it's got today. If this Pentecostal organization keeps on another fifty years, it'll be worse than the Catholic church. That's right. Sin heaping on every side! Now you might not think that I... You might think I'm crazy, but I know where I'm at. See? And it's true. You just wait and you'll find out. Yes.

L-120   The hybrid, hybrid corn, causing women to narrow in their hips and widen in the shoulders, and so forth.

L-121 Evolution used to tell us that, in evolution, that certain animals got together and bred something different, and something different, it come on out to a man. They kept searching around till they disproved their own theory.

L-122 Let me tell you something, you farmers here. What makes a mule? He is the awfulest animal in the world. He is a hybrid. He ain't got no sense, to begin with. Can't teach him nothing. He'll wait all of his life, get to kick you just before he dies. You can't tell him nothing. What is it? Because he is a hybrid.

L-123   Just reminds me of some hybrid Christians, so called. You can try to tell an old mule something, he'll stand with his ears up, go, "Haw! Haw! Haw!" See? All he knows is bray and carry on. You can't tell him truth and teach him nothing. That's the way these people. Tell them about Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, "Haw! Haw! The days of miracles is passed," a braying of some seminary that we learned. It's a hybrid.

L-124 The Holy Spirit will punctuate every commandment of God with an "amen." That's a seminary-something spirit breathing out of him. Not braying against the Word of God, if it's the Holy Spirit. It'll punctuate it "amen." See?

L-125   You know, I think a mule is ignorance. But you know what? He can't tell who his papa was or his mama was. See, his father was a little jack, his mother was a mare, but he can't breed back. He's finished.

L-126 A plant can't breed itself back. Take a white violet and a blue violet, bring out your pink violet; plant it two or three times, it'll come back either white or pink, see.

L-127 That proves, see, they never come like that. God said, "Let everything bring forth of its own seed," and that's the way it remains. Man was made in the image of God, not a monkey. See? That crazy stuff!
Notice, you know, the ignorance of the mule. But you know what? You can't tell him nothing. He is hardheaded.

L-128 But I think a real thoroughbred horse, oh, my, he knows who his mama was, who his papa was. He is pedigreed. He knows all of his grandparents and everything, because he has got a pedigree.

L-129   That's the way it is for these hybrid, so-called Christians. "Days of miracles is passed. Well, we Presbyterians, we Methodists, we so-and-so, don't believe This. We Trinitarians, we so-and-so, we don't. We don't do this." See, you don't know where you do stand.
