<TITLE>25. Par 246-258</TITLE>L-246 Oh, they say, "That bunch of people, where did they go to school? What--what education do they have? Where, what--what did they come from? What--what--what group do they belong to?" See? Huh! See, they don't get It.

L-247 A man said to another man, the other day, said, "You have to belong to a denomination to be a Christian."

L-248 He said, "I am a Christian; I don't belong to any of them." Uh-huh. Said, "God taken this cancer out of me," said, "now what do you think about that?" It was a doctor. He said, "Show me the denominations doing it." See? All right. See? It's still veiled.

L-249   We're inside of Christ. Now, as then, all true believers see Him, the Word of promise of this day, openly manifested. That's a big word if you can get it. See? See? All true believers, that's in the Word, see God openly. The veil is rent, and God stands openly before you, manifested. See? God, manifested, open.

L-250 In order to do this, our old denomination traditional veil must be rent again. In order to really see what It is, you've got to come out from among that stuff. See? You'll never do it; they'll keep pulling that veil before you, every time, "Oh, there is nothing to That." But here It is written, and here It is made manifest, you see. See?

L-251   Now, what if a fellow refuses to see the sun, say, "Oh, there, I know God said, 'Let there be light,' but there is no such a thing. I'm going down in the basement. I--I just refuse to see it"? The guy is crazy. There is something wrong with him.

L-252 There is something wrong with a man or woman, can see the promise of God and, see It manifested, and then refuse to believe It because the denomination pulls the veil down. See, veiled!

L-253   In order to do this, our denomination traditional veils must be broke, by God's Spirit of Fire and Sword, which is His Word. Always His Word is His Sword. See? And He took His Sword that day, full of Fire, and ripped that veil from top to bottom. He does the same thing with the same Sword today! Not "my creed, my book of creeds, my--my catechism." But the Sword of the Lord, see, rips the veil down, and you see God standing in plain view, manifested in His Word. What a glorious view to look at! See? All right. God's Holy Spirit and Fire, His Sword, rips it. The Word rips the denominational veil.

L-254   Well, if you just said, "the Word," and the Word don't work? What good would the Sword be here, and say, "It can't rip"? Say, "Uh," and it won't rip?

L-255 But when you lay that Sword of God up there and watch her rip, she is--she is held by an ordained hand sent to do so. See, rips it open, and there He is. There it shows God plainly in view, the great Jehovah. That is His Word made manifest, the portion that's promised to the day. Do you get It? See? When the Sword, promise of today, in this day, what's supposed to be, and God takes His Sword and rips down the denominational veil and pulls it back, and manifests Himself and shows that He is there, still that same Pillar of Fire. Notice, that is the Word made manifest for today's promises.

L-256   We see It as did Peter when he said, "Lord, to whom would we go, after seeing This?" Where would we go? What church could we join, when we're born in One? See? What could you... What denomination could you join after knowing these Truths, see, when they (every one) deny It? Every one of them! I haven't got a one that'll say or do a thing for It. Right. That's right.

L-257   I started off on these trips down here, where forty-two churches in one place was the sponsor; when I got there, I had none. Every one of them said, "He believes in Eternal security." That let the legalists out. One said, "He baptizes in Jesus' Name." That lets all the rest of them out, see. One of them said, "He believes in the serpent's seed. The serpent has no seed!" That let...

L-258 The Bible said, "I'll put enmity between her Seed and the serpent's seed." See that?
