<TITLE>04. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24   Now, so the prosecutor takes down his first witness, he brings up his next witness to the stand. And the next witness comes up, is Mr. Skeptic. He's sworn in, he takes the stand. Now, he claims that he is a believer, and he "heard in the city that they had a church where they had a faithful pastor, so-called godly man, so the congregation says. And this man believed the Scripture, so he says. And he prayed for the sick and anointed them with oil. And he read the chapter of this in the Bible, in James the 5th chapter, the 14th verse, 'Any among you sick? Let them call for the elders of the church, and let them anoint them in oil, pray over them; the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and God shall raise them up.'" So he said that he goes in, being a sick man, been turned down of ever being able to get over this undulant fever that he had. And the doctor said that he could not get over it, there's no way for him to. So he "taken God at His Word," and he "found this so-called godly pastor," that all the congregation had all kinds of testimonies that they had been healed, and so forth. And this godly pastor prayed over him, anointing him with oil, according to the Word of God. He did not doubt the man's sincerity, he did not doubt the sincerity of the congregation; but the pastor carried out the order just as the Bible says, anointed him and prayed for him. "And that was better than six months ago," and he "hasn't showed one sign of recovery." So he gives that testimony. Now the second witness steps down.

L-25   The prosecutor then brings up his next witness, which is Mr. Impatient. He brings up and he's sworn in, to give testimony against the Word of God, not being true. This man comes forth and he claims that he is a believer, and he was reading one day in Mark, the 16th chapter, or the 11th chapter of Mark, rather, and beginning with the 22nd verse, where Jesus Himself... He claims that he "had a red letter Bible, and the red letters was the exact Words that Jesus said, Himself. And that in this red letter Bible, in Mark, the 11th chapter, where Jesus was speaking, He made this quotation, 'Have faith in God. For verily, verily, I say unto you, if you say unto this mountain "be ye cast into the sea," and don't doubt, but believe that what you have said shall come to pass, you can have what you've said.'" And he "had been a cripple," he says here, "for--for many years," since he was a boy. He had been lame in his feet. He had to walk with crutches. So he accepted that as being the infallible Word of God, and he said within his heart, as he claims, to testify now, he said, "I will walk." And accepted the Word of Jesus Christ, he said that he would walk because Jesus said so. "If you'll say to this mountain 'be moved,' and when you accept, when you pray, believe that you receive what you asked for, and you shall have it." And he asked for it, prayed for it, said he "would have it, and that's five years ago." And he's still lame in his feet, he hasn't gotten any better.

L-26   Now the prosecutor comes forth after his witnesses has given three different quotations of the Scripture (which is a, in the Jewish courts, is a witness), gives three witnesses of Scripture that was wrote in God's Bible, "supposingly that Jesus Christ said It," which is the Son of God, God made flesh, dwelling in a Man, infallibility. And the prosecutor comes forth now to nail down the case to you people.
Now, you remember, you are the jury and you are the judge.
