<TITLE>09. Par 103-115</TITLE>L-103   Now, see, the Spirit that was in Christ, the body, Jesus which was God, Emmanuel. The Holy Spirit, God, came down in Christ, and He was made "God with us." And then He was... That was to redeem us; His Blood shed.

L-104 Now, in the Old Testament, when the worshiper come and laid his hands upon his offering, and he cut the throat of the... the priest did, or sacrificed. The worshiper held the sacrifice with his hands, and feeling the--the tear of the flesh, and the little lamb dying; its little wool being bathed with his blood, all over the believers hands, and so forth, has been caught in the charger, to be burnt over there at the altar. The believer realized that he ought to be the one dying for that sin, but the lamb was dying in his place. Now, but the life that was in that blood, could not come back on the worshiper, because it was the blood of an animal, which has no soul. But in... Therefore there was a remembrance of sin, continually.

L-105   But, now, Jesus being Emmanuel, then the Life of God was in Him, and that comes back; not only the Life of a man, but God Himself, in the form of the Holy Spirit, comes back and makes you sons and daughters of God. Then you are sons and daughters. And then when you feel the terror and the misery and the punishment that Jesus went through, mocked of, His ministry called a devil's work, "Beelzebub," and made fun of, and scoffed at, by religious leaders, and turned down. "He came to His Own; His Own received Him not." And the things He went through with! And then to have sacrificed His life on the cross, to redeem that which God had foreknew. Redeem; bring it back to the place where it--it fell from. Then, God did that in order to send back the Holy Spirit upon the Church now, that It... the people, the believers. It's only for believers.

L-106   It isn't for unbelievers. They never will see it. They are dead, to begin with.

L-107 Look at those Pharisees when they seen Jesus perform the very sign that was supposed to be the Messiahic sign.

L-108 Look at Peter, he believed it now. And Nathanael believed it right now. The woman at the well believed it; blind Bartimaeus. All those that received it, believe it.

L-109 But those leaders stood there and said, "It's Beelzebub, an evil spirit, some kind of a hoax or a trick."

L-110 Jesus said, "You say that against Me, I'll forgive you," the sacrifice hadn't been made, "but when the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing, one word against It will never be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come."

L-111 Why could not they believe it? Jesus said "You are of your father the devil, and his works you'll do." That's correct.

L-112   To believe the Word, is to receive the Word and let It become Life. Now, God showing there how He was confirming this covenant. It's has to be that way. The Church! Not an organization, not a denomination; but the individual and God has become the same Spirit. That's God's purpose, in the beginning.

L-113 Adam and Eve was the same spirit. The Bible said in Genesis, in 1:27, "In the image of God..." God is a spirit. "In the image of God created He him; male and female created He them," in the spirit form that was in God. And Adam was to take care of the--of the land, just like the Holy Spirit is supposed to lead the Church now. And, yet, man was not in flesh, and he was both masculine and also he was feminish, because it's the same spirit.

L-114   Then God created man out of the dust of the earth, and made him in the form of animal. Which, we are now animal, we know. We're--we're mammal. And that's the warm-blooded animal, and we are in that image of animal life.

L-115 And then God took a rib from Adam, not a... A woman is a by-product of a man, not exactly in the original creation. He took a rib. He separated the physical, and took the feminish spirit from Adam and put it in Eve. There was the man and the woman.
