<TITLE>05. Par 42-54</TITLE>L-42   Now, the cell, or the spirit, life, lays in the blood. And when the blood cell of a lamb or an animal was broken, the life that was in that cell could not come back upon the worshiper, 'cause it was an animal. And we are a human being, we are different. The animal doesn't have a soul. The human being has a soul. So the--the--the spirit could not come back upon him after he made his offering, but yet he made it, and sincerely, speaking with faith that he believed that that perfect Offering was coming.

L-43 But when the Blood cell was broke, in Jesus Christ, God was released. See, He was God. That Blood wasn't Jewish. That Blood wasn't Gentile. That was a creative Blood cell, God Himself. And now through that Blood, making a propitiation for our sins, cleanses the believer, takes all of his sins away from him, as if he never had sinned. God puts them in the Sea of Forgetfulness. And the same God that was upon Jesus Christ continues in the believer, doing the same works that He did here, for It's the same Spirit.

L-44   There is God, see, not three gods. Oh, how many of you trinitarian people got that mixed up. And how you Oneness people got it mixed up, too, of Him being one like your finger. Uh-huh. See? They, they both of them got it mixed up. See? That's right. He's the one God like your finger, one, how could He be His Own Father? See? See, He can't be His Own Father. And if He had another Father outside of the Holy Spirit, and if God is a man, a person, then He is a... the Holy Spirit was His Father, and God is His Father, Matthew 1, so then He was an illegitimate Child. See? So you can't make it either way, you, it's both wrong.

L-45 He was God manifested in a flesh of His creative Son. See? Now, that's, God created the Son.

L-46   And when you Catholic people say, "Eternal sonship," where do you get such a word? It doesn't make sense, to me. How can He be Eternal and be a son? A son is something that's "begotten of," how can it be Eternal? Eternal never did begin, it never does end, so how could it be Eternal sonship? Oh, my!

L-47 If these denominations hasn't scrupled things up, I don't know what has. No wonder people can't have faith, they don't know what to have faith in. That's right. What we need is a good old-fashion, back to the Bible. That's right. Exactly right. That's right.

L-48   Now, Jesus being man, physically, was tired, weary. Now laying there, tired; virtue had gone from Him. And then Him being God, He could only do what...

L-49 Now you say, "How could He be God and be man?" See, there is the mystery. See, in body He was man, in Spirit He was God. See?

L-50 Someone asked me, said, "Then how did, Who did He pray to in the Garden of Gethsemane?"

L-51 I said, "I'll answer you that when you answer this: Do you believe you have the Holy Ghost?"
"Yes"

L-52 I said, "Then Who do you pray to? Where is He at when you are praying to Him? When, you claim you have Him, and yet you're praying to Him." See? People just... they just get some little idea and run wild with it, you see, that's the way it goes.

L-53   Now, in Spirit, He was God. Jesus said, in Saint John 3, see, "When, the Son of man which now is in Heaven, yet standing here on earth, when the Son of man which now is in Heaven." How would you answer that? See, He said He was in Heaven then, and here He was standing on earth. See? Oh, my! You see, that, He had to be God, omnipresent. See? Sure, He is present everywhere. He knows every thought. By being omniscient, knowing all things, He can be omnipresent. See?

L-54 So now we find Him, knowing that He had a great job ahead of Him, the next day, He was going into Gadara. And in Gadara there was a maniac, a man who had lost his mind, and was out there living among the devils, and cutting himself, a poor man who could not call for his own help. And now we find that He is on His road over there. I believe He knew all about it. The Father had sent Him over there. He knew it.
