<TITLE>07. Par 60-70</TITLE>L-60   Notice then when it come to the place, after Him revealing the Word, over again, to them, and show them how Christ must do these things, and still they didn't get it. Notice the rebuke they got, them preachers, for not knowing and recognizing the fulfilled Scripture that was fulfilled before their eyes. Notice His words to them, "Fools, slow of understanding." Here was God Himself, the resurrected Messiah, walking along with them, showing them. Said, "Why, don't you understand that Christ must do these things? Don't you know that it must be this a way, and this a way, and thus and thus?"

L-61 And all day long, expounding to them the Scriptures, and still, "Is that so?" And didn't know that was Him standing right there.

L-62 Then He looked around. After He had preached the Word, and had told them and showed them the things that was supposed to be, and still they didn't understand it. He said, "Fools, and slow of heart to understand, see, understand the a vindicated Scripture of the hour," the Scripture that pertained to Him in that day. Yet He was with the disciples, but they knew not the written Word when they seen It made manifest.

L-63 I want to let that soak, just a moment. See? See, didn't know when the... Read it out of the Scripture, that it's a promise for this day, and then watch God make it manifest, and still say, "I wonder." Same thing, see, just exactly. We're still dealing with human beings.

L-64   And we find out that He rebuked them, sharply. They were disciples. Because, they didn't know the Word, that, when It was made manifest before them, they didn't understand it.

L-65 What? The same thing has happened today. But in the minds of the people... It makes you feel sorry for them, because one has got a group going this a way, and one has got one going this a way, and all they think about is making that group grow. That's the reason that Christ can't reveal Himself to the people.

L-66 Why, the Church ought to be the most... Why, it ought to be in its glorious stage now, and the power of His resurrection, great signs and wonders.

L-67   Instead of that, they have fooled around so much with this, till they're walking blindly into the Ecumenical Council, to take on the mark of the beast, and know it not; that's exactly, knowing His Word saying that it would do that. And they think it's real good, it's nice, makes a good offer, and so they'll do it. How can two walk together? What are you Pentecostals going to do? You're going to have to sacrifice your fundamental doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, to do it. Certainly, you are. And there you are. What are you going to do when that time comes? Just foolishly walking right into it!

L-68 Some of the leaders of Pentecostal people, full-Gospel people, stand in these councils, and sit before the Vatican, and in the hierarchies, and so forth, and say, "It's the most spiritual feeling."

L-69 A man that's that numb to the Spirit of God, that would cause such as that, no wonder He would say, "Fools, and slow of heart to understand what the Scripture said." He would speak out tonight, if He was speaking through a vessel, He would say the same thing. "Fools, and slow of heart to understand how that when the Word is made manifest right there, and then walk right into it." Same now!

L-70   We're too busy with our programs. Too... They were too busy, listening to Him, and doing other things. And--and so we find out, that, now we got so many different creeds, we have so many television programs.
