<TITLE>27. Par 202-208</TITLE>L-202   Said, "Yes, sir. That'd be great."
Now, see, the man, in the position of a D.L., L.L.D., a writer of books, see, doctor of literature, fine writer, fine man. See? He didn't know the Scripture.
Did you know that Angel that performed them kind of works never did go to Sodom? He stayed with the called-out group, Abraham.
He just didn't know it. I just let him alone, just set there a little bit. I just want to see what the catch was. I said, "Well, what would I have to do?"
Said, "Well, Brother Branham, just only thing they said... We discussed it, a few things, little petty things that you teach, that you just lay them aside."
I said, "For instance, what, brother?"
"Oh," he said, "your baptism, you know. You know, you kind of baptize like the oneness, something like that." Said, "Little things like that."
I said, "Oh?" I went ahead.
And he said, "The initial evidence; and women preachers; and just a few little things like that."

L-203   I said, "Uh-huh?" I said, "You know, I am surprised that one servant of God would ask another servant of God, after paying the tribute to me you did, and calling me a prophet, and knowing that the Word of the Lord, or the revelation of the Word, comes to the prophet. And you turn around, Doctor Pope, (it don't speak of your good intelligence), and would say and ask, one servant of God, you ask another servant of God to compromise on the thing that...?... means more to him than life itself." I said, "No, sir, Brother Pope. By no means would I do it. No, sir."
What is it? There's a grain of Eternal Life; live or die, whether you're a great guy or not a great guy.

L-204   I passed by, the other day... No disregards to these two men. I looked over there, and there was a great picture there at Tulsa, Oklahoma; Oral Roberts' new place coming, a seminary to educate ministers. It's going to cost. And I know Demas Shakarian, Brother Carl Williams, and them that are on the board of trustees of it. Fifty million dollars, with a three-million-dollar building; a Pentecostal boy, that's a great lot that God has done for him.

L-205 I think, "Me, with a seminary? I'm against it, to begin with."

L-206   And it said, "The future home of Oral Roberts' great seminary." Went on down the road, there was a great modern thing. And Oral Roberts, in a little ragged tent, come to my meeting over in Kansas City, Kansas.
It said, "The future home of Tommy Osborn," oh, man, about a three- or four-million-dollar place going up like that.
And there, Tommy Osborn, one of the finest Christian men. He's a real man, a real God-sent man. Stood right across the street there; little, nervous boy, little boy and girl in a car; run around, said...?... "Brother Branham, I was there when I seen that maniac run out. And I seen you point your finger in his face, and say, 'In the Name of Jesus Christ, come out of him.' I seen him fall across your feet; after he had put his prophecy, said, 'Tonight, I'll knock you plumb out in the middle of that audience of sixty-five hundred people.'" And said, "I seen you stand there, never raise a voice, and said, 'In the Name of the Lord, because that you have challenged the Spirit of God, tonight, you'll fall over my feet.' He said, 'I'll show you whose feet I'll fall over.'"

L-207 And I said, "Come out of him, Satan." He just fell backwards and pinned my feet right to the floor.
He said, "God is God, Brother Branham. That's all." Said, "I've had myself nailed in a house for two or three days." He don't pull no punches. He'll tell about it. He's not ashamed of it. Said, "You think I got a gift of healing?"

L-208 I said, "Forget it, Tommy. You was sent to preach the Gospel. Go, preach It. Go with Brother Bosworth there."
