<TITLE>27. Par 287-299</TITLE>L-287   Even Paul, before Agrippa, said, "In the way that's called 'heresy,'" which means crazy, "that's the way I worship the God of our fathers." That great intellectual scholar had to come to that place, "in the way that's called 'heresy.'"

L-288 Why? It was revealed to him. That Pillar of Fire hanging before him, said, "I am Jesus, the great God that was in the wilderness yonder with Moses. I am He, and it's hard for you to kick against the pricks."

L-289 Then Paul standing there, know that the life was laying at stake, he said, "The way that's called 'heresy,' that's the way I worship the God of our fathers." It was called that because it was revealed to him what the great Truth of Christ was.
And today, people say, "It's a denomination."

L-290 It's Jesus Christ, the new Birth, revealed in you, that He has the preeminences, that He might express His Words. And anything that He's promised in this last days, He can bring it to pass, through His Body as He's working. Amen! It's just exactly the Word of God made manifest. Notice. All right.

L-291   Same as in the days of Christ, God holds the key to this revelation of Christ, Himself. You believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Schools of theology can never find It. Jesus said so. If you want to read it now, in Saint Matthew 11:25 and 27. "I thank Thee, O Father, God of heavens and earth, that Thou hast hid this from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and revealed it to babes such as would learn." See? See? I don't care...

L-292 Look at them scholars of that day, those Jews, very fine men, their organizations of Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians, and whatever they might be. See? All their great organizations, and Jesus said, "You are blind; you lead the blind. Well did Isaiah speak of you, 'You have ears, and can't hear; and eyes, that you can't see.' Cause, Isaiah said this in the Spirit, therefore the God of Heaven has blinded your eyes. You're doing like Eve did, accepting the intellectual side, and know nothing of the Spirit of God. Therefore, won't they all fall in the ditch, both the leader and the blind, too?" The leader will fall with the blind, 'cause he's blind also. The leader fall, that's blind, leading the blind, they both fall in the ditch.

L-293   And God alone holds this key! He expressed the same thing in a previous Scripture there a while ago when I read it, when He said, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"

L-294 And Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

L-295 He said, "Blessed art thou Simon, a son of Jonas. Flesh and blood never revealed this to you. My Father which is in Heaven! Upon this revelation here, alone, I'll build My Church. The gates of hell will never prevail against it." See? Now you see?

L-296   So therefore there is no school, no theologians, no teachings of the Bible among any school, that knows anything about It. They cannot know nothing about It. It's impossible for them to know anything about it. God has hid the senses, of knowing It, from the very elected teachers and everything else.

L-297 It's a personal, individual affair with the person, that Christ is revealed to them.

L-298 And if you say, "He's been revealed to me," and then the Life that Christ produced here in the Bible, that same Life is in Him, does not produce Itself in you, then you've got the wrong revelation.

L-299   If I put a life of a pumpkin into the life of a pear tree, it would bear pumpkins. "By their fruits you shall know them." Exactly right. And if the first, you put out a tree, a grape vine, and it put out a bunch of grapes; the first shoot it put out, brought grapes, the next one brought out lemons, and the next one brought out pears, the next one brought out apples, there is some kind of a grafted affair in there, that's bearing its own life. Every denomination will bear life of itself. But if that original vine ever puts out another shoot, it will bear grapes like it did the first time.
