<TITLE>07. Par 70-84</TITLE>L-70 Now, you know, Christianity has changed so much, in these last days. Now you've got to baby a person, promise them a whole lot, give them a whole lot, to make them believe, come to church, and promise them that they'll have better associates and everything. That's not Christianity.

L-71 Christianity is not babied. Christianity is rugged. Right. It's a--it's a--a... Christianity is not a hotbed plant.

L-72 A hotbed plant is a hybrid plant, mostly. You have to spray it all the time, keep the bugs off of it. That's because of its weakness. And that's the way you have to do a lot of Christians, kind of spray them with a--a lot of promises.

L-73 You, you don't need it. A real genuine healthy plant don't need any spraying. The bugs stay off of it.

L-74   It's just like, today, that man trying to take things and pervert them. God, in the beginning, He said, "Let every seed bring forth of its kind."

L-75 I was reading in Reader's Digest here, where they--they're taking what we call a hybrid corn, and it makes a prettier ear, sure, great big fine ear; but it is no good, nothing to it. And they make a better tomato, it don't even taste like a tomato. and make, got a chicken now that don't even have wings. Hybreeding! See?

L-76 And now, remember, you might have hybrid corn, but you can't plant that seed back. It won't produce again. It'll die. Why? It don't have no life in it. You have to hybreed it each time. If it wouldn't, it'd just keep on multiplying. That shows that evolution, according to man's ideas, is wrong.

L-77   You can take a--a mare horse and a jack, and breed them together and get a mule, but a mule cannot breed itself back again. It's finished. That's all. He is finished.

L-78 And they say now, that in another twenty years, if they don't keep these people from eating this hybrid stuff, like of a corn and wheat and stuff that they're hybreeding, that, "It's changing the--the posture of women. They won't be able to have babies, in twenty years from now. It's killing the generation." It hasn't got the stuff in it.

L-79 Man is not made like they used to be. Look at man today. Why, they, used to be, ballgames was rough. Now they have to wear helmets; they kill a dozen every year, hitting on their heads like a guinea, he dies right now; fights and everything. Man is made up out of a bunch of muck. It's, and it's because of hybrid stuff, and it's polluted the whole system of--of our living, our whole economy.

L-80   And--and--and that hybreeding has got into the church, too. Instead of having a real rugged bunch of Bible believers, they've hybrid it by a denominations. And they have to, "I got this, I got that; and I belong to this, and I belong to that." It's hybrid, and the thing can't produce itself again.

L-81 We need a Book of Acts again. But the only way you'll do it is get back to the Bible, and away from some of this hybrid religion.

L-82 Hybreeding, have to be babied! No faith! Just a bunch of--of powder puffs, just sissified, babied into it. "I'm..." I say, are you a Christian? "I'm Methodist." Are you a Christian? "I'm Presbyterian. I'm Pentecostal." That don't mean that, to God. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.]

L-83 You're a Christian because you are born in the Spirit of Christ, and the Word of God lives in you.

L-84   You know, I always enjoy a hybrid horse... You know, he has got sense. You can--you can teach him things, do things for him, and he'll learn. But you take an old mule, you can't do nothing to him. He's just a big old long-eared donkey. He sits there, and, you could talk to him, he'll stick his ears out, and, "Huh? Huh? Huh?" See, that, he's just a hybrid.
