<TITLE>07. Par 71-77</TITLE>L-71   Now, as we've all, somehow or other, been in courts. Now, the prosecutor has got to nail down his case. So the prosecutor comes up, to nail the case down. The one that represents (pardon me) the world, Satan, he takes the stand. So he claims, to this court, this afternoon, or this evening. He wants... The prosecutor, the devil, wants this court to understand that these men are believers, and that this Word is actually written in the Word, "the Word of God, so-called," he says, that this is written. And he claims that it comes from different places in the Scriptures. And these men are witnesses that it isn't so.

L-72 And he wants to say to this court, the prosecutor does, that he wants this court to understand that God is not just, to put such rashal promises as that, in the Book, for His believing children to accept; and then He's not able to take care of, vindicate what He promised He would do. And he has three witnesses here. And three witnesses is a confirmation, as we know, in all Scripture. And he has three witnesses, from three different places in the Scripture, that God is not justified in placing such things as that in His Word, so His dear children will look upon It, and try to accept It and believe It like He said, and then God let them down, coldly.

L-73   Also, he--he claims that these children, with all sincerity, is doing this, these people, and they are defeated. "True believing children are defeated by the Word of God, so-called. That they claim these things because it's written in the Book, and somebody else injected them into it, and it isn't the Word of God. And the Bible cannot be trusted. For, here is three different places and three testimonies to prove that It's wrong." Now he's nailing his case down. For, he, the prosecutor, wants to point, to call the attention to this court, that these men here accepted this Word with sincerity, believing it was the Word of God, and God has failed to honor their faith.

L-74 Further, he wants to claim that they are believers, because they say they're believers. Yet, again, the prosecutor wants to turn, call the attention to this court this afternoon. Yet God promises again, in another place in the Scripture, that all things are possible to them that believe. And it's written. That's another case. All things, no matter what it is, all things are possible to them that believe. And these men claim to be believers. I want the court to understand, the prosecutor at the stand now is nailing down the case.

L-75   "Yet, again, He claims to be alive after His death, that Jesus claims to be alive after His death. And the prosecutor wants to ask this court, have you seen Him after He raised from the dead? Where is the nail scars in his hands? Where is the crown of thorns that was placed upon Him? Where is the marks in his forehead? And where is He at, if He's raised from the dead?

L-76 And then, "Again, He says in Hebrews 13:8, that, His Word says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The prosecutor wants this court to remember that. Then at... Where is He, if He is?" He wants to see Him. Again, he claims that it's not so. He claims that Luke 17:23 is not so. He claims that Revelations 3 is not so. He claims that Mark 4 isn't so. He claims all these Scriptures of His resurrection, that it's absolutely false. He wants to point that out, that it's false.

L-77   "And He also claims that both heavens and earth will pass away, but not one tittle or jot from his Word will ever fail." And the prosecutor wants you to understand, court, this afternoon that he has witnesses here to prove that they're wrong. Now, he asks the court to consider this, while we're thinking.
