<TITLE>18. Par 204-217</TITLE>L-204   Some people said that He was... that, "Mary conceived, and that was the... the egg belonged to Mary; the blood cell come from the male sex, which was God." That's wrong, too. If it is, look here. Then, to bring that egg down, there had to be some kind of a sensation. Then what do you have God doing to Mary?

L-205 He created both egg and Blood. He was God. She was an incubator. She was only a borrowed womb. Like a borrowed grave to be buried in. He made all. See, had not a place to lay His head. He become our example, what we should be. He never took sides with nobody, but did that which pleased the Father, always.

L-206   And the Father now dwells in us, by His death. He sanctified a Church; that absolutely, this Church, the clean-... unclean, filthy. God condescending, from a Pillar of Fire; down to be made man; and then the Holy Spirit right in us. Don't you see what it is? The same God coming down all the time, now. God above us; God with us; God in us. See? Like, the thoughts of God; the Word of God; and the manifestation of the Word.

L-207 Just the same thing, from the beginning, God thinking; a Father, He was; a Son, He was; a Saviour, He was; the Healer He was.

L-208 The Words were spoke, and It was manifested, "Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son; His Name shall be called Emmanuel, Counsellor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father," and it was!

L-209 And from that, come forth, "That He might bring forth many sons unto God." The whole thing is God, revealed! God above us; God with us; God in us. A paradox, indeed, that God would dwell in man, Himself. Sure.

L-210 He had to become that, to die, to satisfy His Own laws of righteousness. He predicted, and said, "The day you eat thereof, that day you die." And He had to fulfill, there was nobody else could do it but Himself. If--if He...

L-211   Today, in this day, I like to bring this, of the--the Deity of Jesus Christ, because that man try to make Him a prophet. Now if there happens to be a Christian Science sitting here, I'm not hurting your feelings; I hope I'm not.

L-212 But we express so much upon evidences. We Pentecostals put our evidence upon speaking in tongues, and how bad we've been fooled in that. And how many of them says, "The fruit of the Spirit is the evidence," how badly you are fooled by that. No, sir. If you talk about speaking in tongues being the evidence of the Holy Ghost... Which, I do believe the Holy Ghost speaks in tongues. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, but you say, "A man speaks with tongues, got the Holy Ghost." We believed that for a while, but we found out it was wrong.

L-213   Luther said, "Those that said they believe." We found out that was wrong. Wesley said, "Those that got sanctified and shouted." We found out that was wrong. Pentecost said, "Those that spoke with tongues." We found out that was wrong. The Christian Science said, "The fruit of the Spirit is the evidence." We find out that that's wrong.

L-214 I've seen witches and wizards drink blood out of a human skull, and speak in tongues; and lay a pencil on the table and write in unknown tongues, and interpret it. See? Now, don't tell me about that; my mother is a half Indian, see, and I--and I know. I've seen it and dealt with it.

L-215 Yet, God does speak with tongues, but that's no infallible evidence that you got the Holy Ghost. Certainly not. No, indeed. The Christian is not... Let me...

L-216   God forgive me for doing this. I'm going to put Jesus on a trial for you, just a moment, if you'll forgive me. Have I got that much time? Let's see, just a moment. [A brother says, "Yes, take your time."--Ed] Just be a... Yes, I'm--I'm ten minutes a-past time, but I'll hurry and omit some of this, see. [Another brother says, "They didn't set no time."] Let's just try this just a minute, brethren.

L-217 Now, Heavenly Father, forgive me for this. I don't like to speak it, but it's so that people would know.
