<TITLE>08. Par 74-82</TITLE>L-74   And then we find out, by doing this, that Joseph was taken from among his brethren, the denominations, and set out to himself. See? His brothers, all in the land. And then there come such a great thing. We realize that Israel... as long as they dwelt in their dwelling place, and kept up. Now, that's one good thing, to stay in the place. Positionally, that's right. But, they got rid of the Spirit.

L-75 The fundamentals, today, positionally knows what they are, by intellectual conception of the Bible, but there's no Spirit. They've rejected Joseph, turned Him out. They wanted nothing to do with It. "It's a bunch of holy-rollers. It's a... We want nothing to do with It." They've excommunicated Him, sold Him out, to the world. They were out of their fellowship.

L-76   Now, by doing that, they were taking out of place, taken down into Egypt, later on.

L-77 Now, the story of this jealous brothers is certainly of great comparison with the spiritual side of it today. We--we all are aware of that, that it's pure jealousy, not pure. It's old, dirty, filthy jealousy. See? There's no purity in jealousy. See? It's nothing but filthy jealousy. When, they see the same Bible, and the nature of the same God that wrote the Bible, vindicating Himself, and then turn That down without a reason. Pure... Well, not pure. As I said, it's dirty jealousy. Watching God heal the sick, raise up the dead, the same God that lived in the days of the apostles! The same Gospel that they wrote, for this spiritual journey, is the same God that does the same thing. So they're nothing but jealousy, has excommunicated, "And we'll not have It among our people." See? Run them off!

L-78   They thought, the brethren, that they would never have use for a man like that, so, "Why not just get rid of him?"

L-79 That's what, same thing has happened today. They think, that, "Because that our churches has become intellectual, that we got the best-dressed crowds, the biggest organization, the most smartest ministers, that we have no use of the Holy Spirit in the way that It was back there." That, they are full. In other words, actions speaks louder than words. That, their seminaries, and they're the brain of their--their being. And their coming together and--and discussing this thing, are more able, with their own intellectual minds, to set a Church in order, better than what the Holy Spirit could do it. So, they don't need It any longer. "It's Something that we don't need today. It's, the days of that is passed." Now, isn't that just right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "We don't need the Holy Spirit to heal the sick. We got doctors. We don't need the Holy Spirit to speak with tongues. We're all intelligent people." And when you do, you take, right from your framework, the Lifeline.

L-80 Jesus said to them Jews, in His days, "Haven't you read that, 'The Stone that was rejected is the chief Cornerstone that all the building is setting upon'?"

L-81   Now, you see what I mean? I'm sure you--you can catch that. That, the--the reason of it now, is because they thought they'd never have a need of It. "We don't need speakers with tongues. We don't need interpreters of tongues. We no longer need the Old Testament prophets to set us in order, by the Holy Spirit. We understand It." See? They have adopted a man-made system to take place of the Holy Spirit.

L-82 Therefore, there is people that's elected, has their names on the Lamb's Book of Life, they can't go for that. They are spiritual-minded, and therefore they cannot go for that. They can't stand it, no matter if their fathers and mothers was lived in whatever organizational church.
