<TITLE>09. Par 89-98</TITLE>L-89   Now, we find out, also, that the--the world has their nut. And you know, there's so much could be said. We haven't the time to say it, of course. But, this, this one thought, to you.

L-90 I notice this fine little bunch of ladies that sang over there, a few minutes ago. Boy, I wish I had that song. Get that on tape for me, will you, these songs? When you all sing here, make up a song some time. I'll pay you for the tape. See? I'd like to have it. See? That was beautiful, that real sweet worship like that.

L-91 Now, you know, there was a--a... The young, the women of today, they, Chris-... what is so-called Christians, the women who--who go to church, they--they wanted something to--to--to satisfy. They knowed that they--they wasn't getting it, just going to church. But they want to maintain their testimony just the same. See? They wanted to hold their testimony, "I'm Methodist, Baptist. I'm a Christian, you see." They wanted to strip their clothes off of them. They wanted to wear shorts and bikinis, or what you call them, and all they could see. They, they wanted to do these things. They wanted to have a haircut like men, and--and--and do these things.

L-92 And so they--they wanted to do that. See? And, yet, did you ever think why they did? Jesus said, "Them two spirits will be so close, it'd deceive the Elected." That has to come to pass. See? See? So, they wanted to. They didn't get...

L-93   A--a human has to worship. You have to worship something. You, it's just in you, to worship. So a human has to worship something. So, they had no worship in their church, so God raised them up a nut, Elvis Presley, Pat Boone. They still hold their testimony. Elvis Presley, a Pentecostal. Pat Boone, a church of Christ. See, absolutely nut to fulfill Jesus' Words here, "Would be so close, it would deceive the very elected, if possible." Still maintain, sing hymns on Sunday, and rock-and-rolled on Monday. See? To us, that's--that's a nut. See? It, it really is.

L-94   Now, but, you see, in there He had some fine women, also, that wanted to act like ladies. They had decency in them. They wanted to be what Christ wants them to be. So He sends the person along with a message, that--that to that church that they belong to it's foolish, he becomes a nut. But you see, what it is, It fits just exactly. When you talk about long hair, and looking like a lady, and dressing like a lady. And acting like a lady... Instead of standing here like these girls this morning...

L-95   I was watching a little girl there, her eyes looked Heavenly. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... glassy, as she looked up like that, singing, something in her heart. Watch them here, as them young ladies sang. I thought, "O God! Well, what if--if a Hollywood star could--could get that in their heart? They'd be the same thing." See? But what is it? Why did they go that way? You couldn't pull one of them girls in Hollywood. If you'd give her ten thousand dollars a day, she wouldn't go. Why? She's threaded different. That's exactly right. She is threaded different. That's right.

L-96 You couldn't pull Leo, Gene and them into some organization. Why? Couldn't pull you fellows into one. Why? You're threaded different. See? So if you are threaded, there's got to be a nut somewhere!...?... see, to--to hold that together. Isn't it right? See? Then it's complete.

L-97 "Thanks be to God," like the little Dutchman said, "for the nuts. If you take them out, it becomes a bunch of junk."

L-98 What have you got? A bunch of denominationalism, a bunch of cold formalism, no Christ in it at all, no Word in it at all, just a bunch of creeds, and so forth. And what have you got? Take the nut out, you got a bunch of junk, that's right, nothing in the world but firewood, something that's waiting for the blazes and punishments of God, to judge and to burn up, at some day.
