<TITLE>46. Par 519-527</TITLE>L-519 Therefore, the Body cannot recognize... Don't you fail this. The Body, therefore, cannot recognize any other headship but the Word. Cause, the--the Head is connected with the Body, and the Head is the Word, and it's the same Word, one Headship! Therefore, denominations, and holy fathers, and everything else, is dead dung. There is one Headship, that's Christ. The Body only recognizes one thing, the Word!

L-520   Now show me where somebody was baptized, in the Body, in the name of "Father, Son, Holy Ghost"? And what you recognizing? See, I realize I'm talking to thousands, on tape, you know, and we got a tape ministry around the world. What name are you baptized in? "For there's not another name given under Heaven," said the Word, "whereby man can be saved." If you're baptized, to show your belief in Christ, and then take on a creed name, then you're a hybrid. If you're not exactly like that church and exactly like their teaching...

L-521   Then, you Catholic people, see, how can you go under the jurisdiction of a pope now, saying that he is the successor by apostolic succession, from Chri-... from Peter, and this pope and this church teaches so contrary to this first Word which God recognized, by signs and wonders, to be His Church? And to see that same Word being brought forth today in its purity, showing the same resurrection that He had there, God living among His people, doing the same things, then you can recognize a headship in Rome?

L-522 Our Headship is in Heaven. I'm not going to Rome; I'm going to Heaven when I die. See? See? The Headship is in Heaven.

L-523   And the Body must follow the Head, as the wife follows the husband. Being that Adam was not deceived, he walked out with Eve. Eve was deceived, she was in the transgression, or the entire resurrection of the whole Body would have come forth at the day of the Lord Jesus when He come forth from the grave. But He had to redeem Her, which is His Body. She has to be redeemed in order to come to Him. Do you see it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Oh my! See, it couldn't have happened then. The redemption is going on.

L-524   Now you see the Seals? When He was in His mediatorial work back there, redeeming, but some day He comes forth to get this Book that He's redeemed. And all that's in this Book would be Him, for that's the believer, the words in the Book, and the Word is Him. And all that's in that, He come forth for this Book of Redemption, whose names are written on the Book before the foundation of the world, when He was slain as a Lamb.

L-525 And here He is today, in His Word, manifesting the same thing He did there. She can't recognize another headship. No, sir. There's no bishop, no nothing. She recognizes one Headship, that's Christ, and Christ is the Word. Oh, my! Whew! I love that. Uh! Yes, sir.

L-526   As the Head was took up from the grave, so must His Body follow Him into Eden. Therefore, the Body cannot recognize any other headship, but the Headship of the Word.

L-527 No denomination can put anything to It. "For whosoever shall take one Word away from It, or add one word to It, it took away from It." You're dead, hybrid, right there. She's back here, this testimony in her hands, "the filthiness of her fornications, committing in spiritual adultery," against the very Word that she claims to believe. See?
