<TITLE>15. Par 144-155</TITLE>L-144 "What happened when your mother was giving birth to you? Who stood by your bedside? That kind old priest. When mother and dad was going to separate, who put their arms around both and led them back to God? That kind old priest. Yeah.

L-145   "And here Jehovah requires a lamb for a sacrifice, for sin. The businessmen, they live in cities here and they--they sell their goods, and--and so forth, their products and produce, and whatever they're going to sell. They don't raise lambs. And what did the priests do? Made a little stand up there, for them to sell lambs, so this man could go in, clear his soul with Jehovah.

L-146 "What did this fellow, Jesus of Nazareth, do? What church did He come from? What denomination does He belong to? What fellowship card? We'll kick Him out. We won't have nothing to do with Him, because He condemns every one of us. What did He do? He goes up there and takes that, where men are trying to get their souls saved, the church," as we would call it today, you spiritual- minded people, "He kicked over the table, throwed out the change; took a ropes and platted them together, and run them out; and called that godly old priest of yours, 'the son of the devil,' that kind old man that loaned you that money when you was in trouble.

L-147 "Who is going to stand by you and bury you when you're dead? That kind old priest. He has got the fruit of the Spirit. But does this Jesus of Nazareth have the fruit of the Spirit?"

L-148   You can't judge by speaking in tongues, neither can you judge by the fruit of the Spirit. But it's a manifestation of the Word of God, brought to Light. It's the Light that does it.
The man that walks in that Light! Jesus Christ was not founding upon speaking in tongues, though He did it. He was not the fruit of the Spirit, though He did. You couldn't judge it. But He believed and punctuated It, and God lived every Word of the promise of that day through Him. That's the Light of the hour. That's the evidence.

L-149   When a man tells me that the Holy Ghost falling in them will deny the Word of God being so, there is something wrong with it. There is something wrong with our seminaries, and so forth, when they teach man all this here brain-washed theology and stuff of today. Them man would done the same against the Word of God, and lead them right into that ecumenical slaughter down there, why, certainly, it's wrong.

L-150 I speak that in the Name of the Lord! You watch and see if It isn't true, the Light, the Light of the hour!

L-151 Those cold creeds can never bring a harvest. We've got to have a Church that's washed in the Blood of the Lamb, and become one with the Word, be the Church.

L-152 Church glares of this day, Jesus said, are very deceiving, "almost the Elected if it were possible." Just the Elected! "But as it was in the days of Noah, when eight souls were saved, so shall it be in the Coming of the Son of man." Very, very few will be saved at that time.

L-153   What does it do? It leads right on to the slaughter. We find that in this present darkness that we're living. I'm closing, by saying this. In this present darkness that we're living, these days that we're now living in, when Light is done turned out in the heavens, It's turned out here amongst, before, to show us; showed by the Bible, on the Seven Seals, what was taking place. And here God declares it right in the heaven, comes right down and declares it on earth. And the churches walking right into it!

L-154 Who will save that little Word-keeping Bride then? What's going to happen to Her when She is turned out into the cold, by Herself? She won't be cold, the vindicated Word of the promise this day. Oh, yes. It's like a...

L-155 It's puzzling, I know it is, to people, to see the church just say, "Well, it's just almost the same thing." Jesus said it would be that way. I'd be, till, "It would deceive the very Elected if it was possible." Oh, yes. Yes, sir.
