<TITLE>08. Par 78-86</TITLE>L-78 Now, we ask the prosecutor now if he's finished nailing down his case, quoting the Scriptures; claiming They're not right, witnesses that They're not right, that They're not inspired. "They're nothing to Them. They cannot be relied upon. They cannot be trusted." He's got witnesses to prove that They cannot be trusted. Now we got quite a case on our hand.
Now, let's let the prosecutor and his witnesses step down.

L-79   Now we will call the defense Witness, which the defense Witness has a right to testify to the... or for the defendant. And now the defense Witness, which is the Holy Spirit, let's have Him step up, and hear His testimony.

L-80 The first thing, now, as you've heard what the prosecutor has said. You've heard what he, his witnesses said. You've heard the Scriptures. You've heard them read. And here is the witnesses, that They're not true.

L-81   Now, the Holy Spirit, as I say, which is the defense Witness, He is called. The first thing, He wants to call... The defense Witness, Holy Spirit, wants to call to this court's case, that the prosecutor is not interpreting the Word, right, to you. He wants to call your attention, too, that this prosecutor that's giving you the interpretation of the Word, that's representing the world and unbelief, is the same interpreter that Eve had at the beginning. Uh-huh. He misinterpreted the Word, just a little bit.

L-82 Now, I might stop here, in the court, just a moment, to say this. If God caused all this sickness and sorrow and death upon the earth, if He had to do it because of His justice, to keep His Word, He cannot be just and not keep His Word. He's got to keep His Word, to be just. It's becoming to His holiness. It's becoming to Him. And if Eve, not just...

L-83   Satan did not, the prosecutor did not, misinterpret the whole thing. He just misinterpreted a Word, or so, and it caused death to strike the whole earth. And every hospital, every siren ever rung, every--every death that ever died, every struggle, every man on the battlefield, every poor, little, sick, afflicted baby, and all, was caused by disbelieving just one Word of God's Word. And if it caused all of this, for disbelieving one Word, how you going to get back, disbelieving one Word?

L-84 Got to be something that God has to judge the world by, and that's Jesus Christ, the Word. We must believe It all.

L-85   Notice. He said that he, that, "These men has been listening to the wrong interpretation of the Word. The prosecutor is not... interpreting It wrong, is--is interpreting It wrong, to you, just like he did to Eve. The promise is only to believers; not make-believers, skeptics, or impatient people. It's only to believers. And if...

L-86 Let me say this. If there's anybody should know whether these fellows are believers or not, it should be the defense Witness, because He's the quickener of the Word. See? He... Just like your body, your body is a piece of flesh. But unless the spirit is in there, to quicken that body, it's dead. And so is the Word, dead, unless the Holy Spirit quickens that Word. And if He's the quickener of the Word, He should know whether these fellows really are believers or not. I think we've got a good defense Witness. He should know whether It's right or not. Because... He makes a good defense Witness because He's the quickener of the Word.
