<TITLE>06. Par 57-66</TITLE>L-57   Notice, today we have a similar trial, after the same identified Word. Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." Saint John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Matthew 28, "All the world, preach the Gospel to every creature." "Lo, a little while and the world seeth Me no more; yet ye shall see Me, for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the age." "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever!"

L-58   They have chosen today, not only a murderer, but a murderer of the Word, a satellite to the very first murderer.

L-59 When they, apostles was preaching the Gospel, and come down through Irenaeus, and many of the great reformers and founders back in the early age, it come to Nicaea, one time, for a showdown, and they decided to make a universal church, to force people to come under their jurisdiction. Many who has read the history there, knows many old prophets come there with animal skin wrapped around them, eating only herbs and things, and they tried to hold out for that Word, hold for the Word of God. But what did they do that fifteen days of bloody politics? They finally decided to make a universal church, and graft some paganism with Christianity, and set it out as a universal church.

L-60   And, today, the Protestants are throwing themselves together in the Ecumenical Council, doing the same thing, grafting in tradition of man, and instead of taking the Word of God which is thoroughly identified by the Holy Ghost, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. The church stands in the balance, today, and is found wanting. You're back in Pilate's judgment hall. Yes, sir.

L-61 What does it do? It's making an image unto the beast. It's a satellite unto Rome. When the Ecumenical Council is forcing, and will force every Protestant denomination into it; and it practically all is there now, Full Gospel and all. The hour is going to come when they'll have to come or stay out, and, at that time, when that force come, you've already identified yourself with the mark of the beast. Now, that's exactly.

L-62   What is it? A Protestant harlots with the old mother, Rome, the whore! Revelation 17 said she was, "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS," exactly, Protestant denominations; holding out in her hand the cup of the wrath of the--of God, for her toast, her testimony, "this is what we believe," and each one, "this is what we believe."

L-63 Here is what the Church is to believe, the Word of God, "and let every man's word be a lie." That's what it's supposed to be.

L-64   But we bring Christ again to that great crucial hour that He stood in, in Pilate's judgment hall; pathetically, a little bunch pushed off to one side, with a bowed head. Other denominations rejected them, refused them, and turn them away, and say, "Have nothing to do with It!" You better check up on the Word. Now we find out, this Ecumenical Council is. What's it doing? It, the Bible...
You say, "Does the Bible say about that?" Yes.

L-65 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the Power thereof." Blind, naked, church-goers, having a form of godliness, but denying the Power of the Holy Ghost which identifies Jesus Christ to His Word. How can a man claim to have the Holy Spirit and deny the very Word which is the Holy Spirit? How can a man do that? His own testimony gives witness that he is not what he is supposed to be, committing spiritual fornications, denying the Power of God. Paul said, in Second Timothy, 3rd chapter, that's what it'll be, said, "Be heady, high-minded!"

L-66   "I've got a doctor's degree, a Ph.D., an LL.D." To me, that's further from God than you was when you started. Yes, sir. That only takes you away from God, don't bring you to God. Only one thing can draw you to God, and that's the Holy Spirit, by His Word.
