<TITLE>10. Par 104-115</TITLE>L-104   That's what it is today. Every man has got his own interpretation. When, God condemns the whole thing. God does His own interpreting. If God said He'll do a thing; when He does it, that's the interpretation thereof. God interprets His Own Word.
There He was, standing there, His Own interpreter.

L-105 Hallelujah! He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He does His Own interpretation. Doesn't need any seminary, or any ministers, me, you, or no one else, to interpret Him. He promised it, then He turns around and does it. That settles it. That interprets itself.

L-106   But there He stood, the great mighty, Conqueror of every disease, every sickness, death, hell, grave. And rose up again, what they had believed all along. And there He stood, but they couldn't believe it. And Him referring back to Himself all the time, He said to them. "And beginning with Moses and the prophets, He expounded to them all the things that were written concerning Himself," and still they didn't get it. Just looked like they just couldn't get it. That's all.

L-107 Same now. What's the matter, today, the reason of it? We're too busy a learning our creeds. We're too busy with our--our denominational programs. We're too busy with soup suppers and lottery in the church. We're too busy with the ladies aid society. We're too busy with our TV programs and all this other nonsense. We're too busy to search the Scriptures, to find out whether They're right or not.

L-108   You went down to the restaurant and ordered you a bowl of soup, and it had a spider in it, you'd sue the restaurant. You wouldn't put it in you for nothing, with a spider in it, 'cause you're afraid it might kill this little body.

L-109 But you'll stick anything down that soul, just anything, any kind of creed, and never looked into it, to see whether it's the right thing or not. "There's a way that seems right to a man." Search the Scriptures. That soul is Eternal, you know. So, don't. Just watch what you put in there, see, these creeds and all these things. We just got it like a lodge, just join a lodge and that settles it. And that's the way people think today. That's the reason they have no time to be studying, mediating, searching things, and trying to find out whether they're right or not.

L-110 Let the Christ Himself interpret It. And if It comes to pass, what He said, then that's the Truth. Look and see if it's for this day.

L-111   As I referred last night, Moses couldn't a come with Noah's message. Neither could Jesus come with--with Moses' message. See? It was so, it was lotted for each hour.

L-112 Now, we couldn't come with Luther's message, neither with Wesleyan, neither with a Pentecostal message. We're plumb beyond that.

L-113 You say, "Oh, that's something you're..." Well, so did the Catholic church think Luther was making it up. So did Wesley think that they're... The Lutheran think that Wesley was making it up. So did the Wesley's think that the Pentecost was making it up.

L-114   But the thing of it is, look back in the Scriptures. It identifies, every age. And if the things that He is doing now doesn't identify Him, the promises of God, then leave it alone. But if He does say it'll happen, and it happens, then believe that it's not man. It's God talking, doing His Own interpretation of His Word.

L-115 "Fools and slow of heart to believe all the prophets have said about the Christ." Yet, His disciples couldn't believe the written Word, because they were so busy about, oh, well, they was sad about it.
