<TITLE>16. Par 159-172</TITLE>L-159 The--the intellectual part looks perfect. And it is perfect, it's exactly; but, perfect, the inspiration of Satan.

L-160   And then, all the time, that, this intellectual Raamses was growing and coming to the throne. And remember, he raised up as a brother to Moses, see, a brother to Moses. One of them had to take the intellectual seat, just like Joseph to his brethren. And what did they do with the little Joseph? Excommunicated him from the Word. The Word is God. And they excommunicated the Word, and accepted a creed. And now the creed has growed to power.

L-161 O God, let people see that! How can I use any more voice? How can I make it any plainer by the Scriptures, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, that we're here?

L-162 "Oh," you say, "well, now, if that came from Pope John, or Pope So-and-so, or Bishop So-and-so!"
Do you see that God took a little, insignificant desert-dweller?
Say, "How can all of it be wrong?"

L-163   God deals with an individual, not with groups. With individual; God getting His--His, getting His. Only thing He had to have is one man that He could operate with. That's all He wants is one man. He's tried to get them, through every age. If He could get one man! He got one man in the days of Noah! One man in the days of Elijah! One man in the days of John the Baptist. Just one man is all He needs. In the days of the judges, He tried to get one man, Samson, give him great power, but he sold it out to a woman and was blinded. It's judges; wasn't so. God is the judge. See?

L-164 You see, today, He's trying to get one man He can get in His hand, that'll tell the Truth, that'll be fearless with it, that won't pull no punches, that'll not be dogmatic; one man He can hold in His hand and show His Word alive, and show Himself alive. I believe He could get such a person ready. I do. I believe it. I just believe the Bible enough, to believe that He could get it, that's right, that would tell the Truth.

L-165   After while, we find out, after went through all these schools. Now watch. The enemy proposes something, the intellectual mind, because the enemy is working on intellects. And the mind will set down and reason it, and say, "Now, wait just a minute. Isn't it so, that a council..."

L-166 I talked to a man the other day, and he said, "Look, Billy!" He works for the Public Service Company, a fine man. And he said, "I want to ask you something." Said, "You are Irish."
I said, "Yes, sir." Said, "I'm kind of ashamed of it, but, yet, I am."

L-167 And he said, "Well," he said, "don't you know that you really, really should be Catholic?"

L-168 I said, "I am the original catholic." You know, the first Church was the catholic Church.

L-169 You see where it's got to, today? It started at Pentecost, but the organization set it where she's at now. Look, and Pentecost come right back and organized, done the thing the first Catholic church. And they're almost as far away today as they, as they been in two thousand years. And fifty years has brought them almost to it. See?

L-170   He said, "Don't you believe that when a group of ecumenical minds," there you are, "sets together and reasons something, and the entire group can agree, don't you think they'd be just a little... I come to hear you preach," said, "but I disagree with you."

L-171 I said, "The only way that you can prove that you're disagreement is logical, is prove it by the Bible."
He said, "The Bible has nothing to do with it."

L-172 I said, "To you, It might not. But, to me, It's all to do with it. See, It's the Word."
